I was disappointed to read in Toronto Life's Daily Dish that Amuse-Bouche Restaurant will be closing at the end of May after five years in the King West neighbourhood. I met chef Bertrand Alépée and maître d' Sarah Lyons last summer at Luminato while covering 1000 Tastes of Toronto for Torontoist, and I had a chance to try their awesome pulled pork sandwiches with chocolate chipotle barbecue sauce. The restaurant is very close to my office, so I walked by at lunch and saw the big FOR LEASE signs plastered on the quaint facade—makes me sad.I'm going next week for Tapas Tuesday, which sounds incredible. Savoury plates are $10, cheeses are $5, desserts are $5, and wine by the glass is $5. They also have 5, 7, and 10-course tasting menus for $40, $55, and $70, respectively. And they are one of the few restaurants who reliably take reservations through email (mail@amuseboucherestaurant.com). Amuse-Bouche closes on May 31.

I loved that pulled pork sandwich! And they're so amazingly charming, I hope he finds somewhere new
I too tried the pulled pork, it was so good! We'll have to go one last time before it closes.
That means a lot coming from two of the best palates I know! We'll definitely go before it closes. I want to go whole hog and do the seven course tasting menu.
Love Amuse Bouche! I went last summer and had an incredible tasting menu on their patio with wine pairing. Didn't know about the tapas menu. Will definately go before they close :(
