Brad Pitt. Jennifer Aniston. (Different nights.) By now, those who care to know about Toronto’s restaurant scene are certainly aware of DuWest’s latest addition: Hudson Kitchen. While the celebs got their sneak peek during TIFF, us rubes had to wait until last week to sample the goods coming out of chef Robbie Hojilla’s kitchen.
Drink-wise, a tiny bar up front acts as the home base for the cocktails. Bar manager Jay Meyers’ menu is short and sweet, with just six cocktails served. The Earth to Grapefruit ($13) is Meyers’ redefined version of the classic Greyhound: Beefeater gin is shaken with Campari, Cointreau and fresh lemon juice, and is finished with a rim of sugar and dehydrated grapefruit rind.
Hudson Kitchen, 800 Dundas St. W., 416-644-8839
