The Pine
Contemporary Chinese
A converted gas station in a small Ontario town holds 24 seats and one Michelin star, which tells you something about what Jeremy Austin is up to. The Pine is a contemporary Chinese tasting menu restaurant where the chef's years cooking across China and Italy show up in dishes built almost entirely on Canadian ingredients. It ranks on North America's 50 Best Restaurants list. The menu cards arrive with personal stories instead of ingredient lists, which is either charming or a warning.
