Rundles

Rundles is currently closed for the season. [40th Season of Rundles Restaurant: May 27 to September 24, 2016.] The ideal venue for a festive pre theatre or later dinner, Rundles is light-hearted, summery, and formal to a degree. Its modern haute cuisine is layered, balanced, and full of harmonious flavours. Wines range from small, local, boutique selections to those of the great houses of Bordeaux. The service is gracious, gastronomically literate, and charming. Rundles' award-winning, modernist architecture and interior design by Shim-Sutcliffe, are warmed by the humorous touches of Viktor Tinkl. The overall effect is that of time suspended, making one feel energized and inspired to live in the moment. Dinner: Tuesday through Sunday. Reservation required. We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Private Functions: Rundles caters to groups of all sizes. Please get in touch with us, as we would be happy to help you plan your private party. Review: "On the bank of the River Avon, Rundles is an idyllic spot for pre-theatre dining in Stratford. The room, all grey cement and pale wood, feels like a Mies van der Rohe–designed spa. Chef Neil Baxter, who's been head chef since 1981, has a flair for the dramatic, in a good way. The tender poached lobster with salmon roe, cubed cucumber, yuzu jelly and dill oil sparkles like a mosaic of multicoloured sea glass and tastes bright and clean. Flawless panfried rib-eye showcases classic training and finesse. At the end of the meal, the server suggests "the famous lemon tart." The brûléed concoction, studded with toasted pistachios and sided with smooth orange sorbet, lives up to its recommendation." (TorontoLife.com)
