Frommer's Review

While I was sad to see Avalon close its doors in 2006 after an 11-year run, Chef Chris McDonald has opened an extraordinary restaurant uptown. This jewel of a dining room is hidden in an alleyway, so the trick is finding it. But the effort is worth it since Cava offers exquisite tapaslike plates and sparking wines at prices that won't break your budget. The menu does have its pricey side (a flute of Nicolas Feuillatte champagne is C$20/US$19/£9), but if you stick with salt cod cake with chipotle cream, four oysters on the half-shell with tomatillo salsa, or 3-minute flank steak with chimichurri, you can't go wrong.
