From Chefs Mike Madokoro and Minh Phat Tu, and Sommelier Elena Racevičiūtė of Mui Mui, comes a menu of local products and the inspiration drawn from these two culinary creatives.
Some may recognize the space as the old Manitoba restaurant… which is a beautiful coincidence seeing as though the name was given to honour Racevičiūtė’s father who used to live in Manitoba (the Anemone is the province’s national flower).
