The newest venture for Splendido owners David Lee and Yannick Bigourdan, in partnership with restaurateur Franco Prevedello, is Nota Bene. Opening today, this is sure to be a snazzy endeavor. Considering those involved, the design by KPMB, and the Canada Life building location, (in close proximity to the Four Season's Centre), the new place will no doubt attract Toronto's elite with its multi-ethnic cuisine, and offer the esteemed crowd prime views of the tattoo parlor and condom shop across the road. Expect an uncomplicated menu- no tapas, no shared plates, just simple, wholesome food like spare ribs and suckling pigs. Lee assures us that this restaurant will make you feel good from the moment you walk in.
