Need to Know … from Top 50 Restaurants in Canada Chair Janine MacLean: Chef Patrick Kriss’ innate understanding of flavour, texture and which components work best on a plate is, in my opinion, unrivaled in Toronto. His cuisine has taken Acadia Restaurant from what was merely great place to eat, to a truly phenomenal dining experience. Acadia is a place where other cooks love to eat – food executed so well that it has every right to be pretentious, but, like the chef, it just isn’t.
Judge Renee Suen of Toronto Life: Chef Patrick Kriss seems to have deft the odds and taken an already celebrated restaurant to new levels of deliciousness. Kriss’ training and exposure to international influences play a subtle role in the mix of low country and Acadian flavours found on the menu. There’s a sense of maturity and command of each creative and meticulously balanced dish. The result is polished and confident; and an experience heightened by fantastic cocktails and warm hospitality.
Judge John Placko of Modern Culinary Academy says: A gem in Toronto. I was concerned when Matt Blondin left and Patrick Kriss took over, but the transition was seamless. If anything, I think Patrick has taken it up a notch with his stunning plating but more importantly the flavours of his food and complementary textures. Although they classify themselves as low-country cuisine, the modern techniques, superb flavours and tasteful plating, makes them a leader in Canadian cuisine.
