    Madeline's

    Local foodies were disappointed - and utterly curious - with the seemingly abrupt closure of the King West restaurant, Susur. It had appeared that Toronto, home to this Food and Wine's Top 10 Chef, had lost not just the restaurant, but the titular chef, to a certain other city.



    But, with a lightning quick turnaround, the master of Nouvelle Chinoise is at it again, re-inventing the old space with something decidedly more European. After a rather quick re-tooling, the Susur space is released to the masses, as Madeline's.

    Gorgeous. We popped in when we saw activity... and the place is completely revamped. Small plates, but looks like tapas style. Table reserved for Saturday.

    Yes, the food was amazing. So many great dishes, mostly tapas sized... made for sharing. But considering the price and the "Susur" hype, I still want to nick pick couple things.

    The small plates courses were awesome. Best ever? I'm not so sure. But very good nonetheless.

    This opened quietly. We ate at Madeline's on what might have been the first night - saturday. Everything was first rate, and no indications of this being a first night. Small plates were great, and very dimsum like.

    Will be a regular (wasn't a huge fan of the original Susar restaurant)

    Surprisingly unpretentious. I always thought that the earlier rendition (Susur) was a little to haughty for my taste. But, admittedly, this Madeline's re-vamp is very down to earth.

    kudos.

    Gorgeous! I was brought here on Saturday night for dinner... and could hardly recognize the room.

    There are already many reviews, so I'm going to keep this short and simple:

    Madeline's is DELICIOUS! SPECTACULAR! (I could go on and on...)

    Yes, it's hard to get a table. We went at 7:00 on a Thursday and waited for an hour. No reservations. Our fault, I know.

    Hint: the patio rocks

    The food here is sick. Outrageously sick. From the first morsels of amuse buche to the dim-sum-style mains. The lady and I dropped over 300 bones on this place and every penny was worth it. We will be back for our third time next week and I can't wait. Such whores.

    Holy hell, the small pates are is so good they makes my mouth water just thinking about them. If I lived closer, I would sample those dishes at least weekly, no doubt. I recommended this place to an 905 friend and his mother and they loved it as well. The ambiance is great, the staff friendly and ... affordable

    Yes, its better not to think about how much you are paying for your meal and just enjoy the ride. The room is elegant and intimate. The service is top-notch and above all else the food sublime. Some may find it a little stodgy I am sure but hey, we all look a little stodgy in a suit. Highly recommended!

    Very good, but definitely did not blow my mind.

    I liked the space, but did think it was a tad bit too dark and it was busy! My friend and I both had the smattering of small plates - but found them to be very salty. Overall it was a nice meal at a reasonable price, but with so many restaurants out there..it didn't stand out.
