If you have just one of Chef Trista Sheen’s dishes at Bar Begonia, have the Boeuf Bourguignon ($16). The formerl exec chef of Crush Wine Bar, and Top Chef Canada Season 2 contestant does it with The Butcher Shoppe’s chuck that’s cubed and brined for 48 hours andthen seared in a French cast iron pan, along with mushrooms, veal stock, thyme, red wine, and caramelized onions. Served with a single fingerling potato and basil pistou, it is a fabulous winter dish. And those gaufrettes that come with the Steak Tartare ($13)? Insanely addictive perfection.
