    This was a unique dining experience for us. It was our first time in a molecular gastronomy restaurant. The flavor combinations and presentation of each part of the meal were exquisitely detailed. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal. It is a fairly small and intimate restaurant seating maybe 24, plus a few seats at the bar. The only drawback, in my opinion, was the noise level. We could converse at the table, but had a hard time understanding the server. Overall, very friendly staff.

    We will be back. This was a special birthday dinner for my wife. From the moment we were greeted until the hostess got our coats at the end of the evening, the staff were outstanding. They were friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable. The food was exceptional, and we enjoyed seeing the chefs prepare our meal in the open kitchen. A special thanks to Julie and Ben.

    Thank you for a wonderful evening! The food, service and atmosphere were perfect. Incredible wine list with knowledgeable staff to recommend the right bottle. Last year we used Danny's private Chef services for a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend this if you are looking for something unique and special.

    From start to finish, änkôr was an outstanding experience. My wife and I tried the 6 course tasting menu, and we opted to be surprised by the chef which we would recommend. Each course was simply exceptional, loaded with flavour and presented elegantly. There was an impressive level of attention to detail in every course, and a focus on both texture and balance. The service matched the quality of the food and was warm, welcoming, attentive (but not intrusive / overbearing) and professional. My wife and I discussed it and agreed that the food at änkôr is probably the best we have tried in Canada. We both showed up very hungry after a long day of hiking, and we left feeling satisfied and honestly just giddy after such a delightful meal. The ambience was very nice, with comfortable seating. We thought the ability to see the kitchen to watch the chefs work their magic was a nice touch. From a price standpoint, our meal was was relatively in line with other multi-course tasting menu prices we have come across, and thus given the quality of the food, we thought the value was excellent. We live about 10 hours away but hope to get back again to try the summer version of the tasting menu. I would rate änkôr 5 stars and recommend it without reservation.

    We had the tasting menu and it was very delicious. High quality food, impeccable service, and great value. The only thing that took off a star was that the dessert was a flop. Overall, since the tasting menu was six courses, it didn’t matter too much since everything else tasted great but it was a bit disappointing to end on such a low note. I was there in the fall and the food was delicious but my dining companion at the time said that her dessert was very unimpressive too. So maybe dessert isn’t really their thing? But I truly cannot say enough good things about all of the other courses and the truly incredible service. Their attention to detail really made the dining experience next level.

    For our birthdays which are 6 days apart, my wife and I always come to Änkôr. This time, we went with the Chef 6 courses tasting menu. Incredible! Everything tastes sublime. The service is fast and expertly done. Thank you Julie for your attention to our requests. Here is what we experienced: Mini donuts with salmon salsa Foie gras with Grand Marnier with orange and apricot on house brioche Beets braised on BBQ and caramelized yellow beets with feta foam Scallop with deep fried quinoa, orange pearls and squid ink topping with ginger Cod fish steamed with sunchokes in different textures with chips Duck breast and duck confit with pistachio crust and parsnips and black garlic sauce Granny Smith apple sorbet with apple crumble and creme fraiche

    Such an experience. The ingredients you would never think to combine and they work perfectly. I enjoyed the look, the texture, and of course the flavor till the last bite of the plate. Service was wonderful as well. The door opened before I reach out to it with warm welcome by the staff. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu including the wine I loved very much which wasn’t even on the menu. Especially her smile made us smile too and added the happy atmosphere to our table. Thank you very much for the wonderful time, änkôr. We will be back !!
