A final look back at our August Chef’s Tasting ✨

This was our last Chef’s Tasting of 2026, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to finish the year.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported our tasting events throughout the year. Your continued support means so much to our entire team.

We’re already looking forward to welcoming you back for our next Chef’s Tasting. Until then, thank you from all of us at Rare. 🥂

You may have driven past this little building without knowing what’s waiting inside.

Behind the door is Rare—an intimate dining room, a passionate kitchen, and a team that truly cares about every evening we create.

We’ve been a little quiet on social media lately, so consider this our reintroduction.

Come inside. We’ve missed you.

There are some evenings that remind us exactly why we do what we do.

Last night’s Chef’s Tasting was one of them.

Six courses, carefully prepared and served one by one, each telling its own story through seasonal ingredients, thoughtful techniques, and a little creativity from our kitchen. Seeing every table slow down, share conversations, and enjoy each course together is what these nights are all about.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and trusted us with your evening. Your support allows us to keep creating experiences that go beyond dinner.

If you missed this one, don’t worry—our next Chef’s Tasting is already in the works, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the table.

🍷 Stay tuned for the next menu.

The menu is here. ✨

Six courses moving from delicate oysters with miso and yuzu, through wild shrimp and pickerel, before finishing with coconut, vanilla and roasted sesame panna cotta.

Thoughtful ingredients, French technique and the Asian flavours that continue to shape Rare.
Only 6pm seating available —reserve through our website or call 705-742-3737.

Duck might not be your usual order—but this one may change that.

Five-spiced roasted duck breast, rich and beautifully seared, balanced with crushed edamame and mint purée, braised radish, sugar peas, rhubarb, and wild honey gastrique. Sweet, savoury, fresh, and a little unexpected—exactly the kind of dish we love creating at Rare.

Come hungry, bring someone who loves trying something different, and let us take care of dinner.

Reserve through our website or give us a call.

Some milestones deserve more than a celebration—they deserve to become a memory you'll carry forever.

This week was especially meaningful for our Rare family as we celebrated Chef Andrew's parents on their 50th wedding anniversary.

Fifty years of love. Fifty years of choosing each other. Countless meals shared, stories told, and memories made around the table.

It was an honour to be part of such a beautiful chapter in their journey, and a reminder that some of life's greatest moments happen when the people you love gather together.

Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, birthday, engagement, retirement, or simply the people who matter most, we'd be honoured to help create an evening that's just as memorable.

Here's to love that lasts—and to many more celebrations around the table. 🥂

Reserve your special occasion with us through the link in our bio or send us a message to start planning.
