Dinner with The M Club

Tonight The M Club (Mary, Marlene, Manny and Mary Margaret) met for a delectable Christmas dinner at Avant Gout (8 Birch St just north of the Summerhill LCBO). It's a narrow house that has about 9 tables. The interior is painted a dark red and when you walk in you feel like you're in the dining car of the Orient Express. The chef is North African from France and my meal was delicious: fresh greens in a vinaigrette with goat cheese and salmon tagine. We even had a warm chocolate cake for dessert. I brought Christmas crackers and all the Ms were such good sports, everyone wore their party hats!
