Every summer, London's kitchens throw the doors open for Londonlicious. This year, we're doing it in partnership with Growing Chefs! Ontario, and we've built a menu around Ontario pork, Lake Erie fish, and produce grown close enough to taste it.
From July 24 to August 16, Hunter & Co. is serving a dedicated Londonlicious menu at both lunch and dinner — 349 Talbot Street, London, Ontario. Here's what's on the table.
Dinner — 3 courses, $55, from 5pm
Start warm: Mushroom Toast piles 'Shogun' maitake mushrooms and melted 'Stone Town' Fontina onto thick-cut 'Wholegrain Hearth' sourdough. Want it brighter? The Panang Curry Cod Cakes bring coconut cream and lemongrass heat with green beans and micro Thai basil, or try the Water Buffalo Kofta — skewers over lemon tahini yogurt, finished with pickled red onion and pistachio dukkah.
For your main: the Stuffed Ontario Pork Tenderloin is the dish the whole season is built around, plated with 'Common Ground Farms' kale, saffron mashed potatoes, sundried tomato tapenade, and a proper demi glace. The Venison Rigatoni layers a slow tomato ragu with mushrooms, baby spinach, rosemary, and garlic under house-made ricotta. The Lake Erie Pickerel gets a Spanish streak — romesco, roasted fingerling potatoes, caramelized fennel, and crisp chorizo. And the Halloumi Tikka Masala — red pepper, cauliflower, baby spinach, torn naan — is the vegetarian dish we'd order for ourselves.
Finish with 'Kampkeek Dairies' Water Buffalo Milk Vanilla Panna Cotta, topped with 'Heeman's' strawberries and crumbled shortcake, or the Dark Chocolate Rye Brownie with white chocolate crème anglaise and 'Heeman's' raspberries.
Lunch — Fridays & Saturdays, 11:30am to 3pm
Lunch runs the same three starters and the same two desserts, priced as 2 courses for $40 or 3 for $50. The one thing you won't find at dinner: our Rainbow Trout, seared and stacked over romesco, roasted fingerling potatoes, caramelized fennel, and chorizo — a lunch-only dish worth building a Friday around. It shares the midday main course lineup with the Venison Rigatoni and Halloumi Tikka Masala.
