Toronto Chef Shares Must-Try Spots

Chef John Horne, District Executive Chef at Oliver & Bonacini Hospitality, not only sets the culinary direction for Canoe but also for Auberge du Pommier, La Plume, Maison Selby, and Biff's Bistro. He also plays a key role in overseeing O&B's corporate culinary operations nationwide. Horne's cuisine is known for its refined flavors, seasonal ingredients, and striking presentation. Horne's restaurant, Canoe, offers contemporary Canadian cuisine and sources ingredients from across the nation, working closely with farmers and suppliers. Canoe is located 54 stories up in the TD Centre, offering diners a view of Toronto's financial district. The restaurant has been celebrating Canada and its provinces for over 25 years. For years, Horne has been committed to showcasing Canadian cuisine in new and exciting ways. His "Taste Series" at Canoe designs a menu each month to honor different regions of Canada. Examples include Taste Acadia and Taste Haida Gwaii.
