Details
At BarChef, mixologists pride themselves in taking culinary influences and making them into some of the most flavorful cocktails ever tasted. They raft their own infusions, flavoured syrups, tinctures, and ginger beer and use only fresh squeezed juices. Ice gets hand chipped from a glowing fifty pound block that sits atop the slate bar. These are the small details that make the difference in creating some of the complex and exciting flavour combinations. BarChef and owner Frankie Solarik is one of North America's best mixologists with an ability to create some of the most exciting flavour combinations and constantly creating new cocktails. Sommelier and owner Brent VanderVeen has put together a collection of great value wines, Champagnes, whiskies, Armagnacs and other digestifs. Executive Chef Michael Milson has created a sumptuous menu comprised of international flavours designed to share. Their entire menu is created to pair nicely with the flavours found in their cocktails. more... See more text

    Where to sip tropical cocktails in Toronto

    Where to sip tropical cocktails in Toronto

    It’s hard to talk about Toronto’s cocktail scene without mentioning the venerable BarChef. Cocktail connoisseurs will appreciate the attention to detail that goes into every pour and cocktail amateurs will love the celebration of fancy drinking. BarChef is an intimate space with dim lighting, black drapery and candlelight for cozy chats, offering a selection of cocktails inspired by the tropics. The basil daiquiri, for instance, is a fusion of coconut rum, fresh basil lime, pineapple, honey and black pepper syrup, while the coconut mojito adds a dash of vanilla and coconut milk to the Caribbean classic.
