Hearth Restaurant 2.0 Experience – Saskatoon
Remai Modern Gallery
Lunch Review
Well now that Hearth is open for lunch, I of course, had to check it out. I’m currently pregnant, so no boozy delight reviews today. I had the Saskatoon Berry lemonade, my mom had the rose lemonade. They were delicious!! Not too sweet which was perfect. The menu is nicely designed for a light lunch, although not a vegetarian, I opted for the Peas and Carrots which was beautiful! The dish is tortellini, filled with a very light carrot puree, topped with buttery, savoury peas cooked perfectly, pea tendrils, and my favourite part was dill! The dill was exactly what the dish needed to make it pop!
My mom got the breakfast sandwich which was their special for the day. The seeded bun was topped with a fried egg cooked medium/hard, perfectly cooked bacon for a breakfast sandwich and jalapeno cheese. It was glorious, it was her first time in a while that she didn’t have an “egg patty” in her breakfast sandwich (yes low bar I know), but it was SO good, not too salty either. It was contrasted perfectly with a light salad with a beautiful vinaigrette and potato cakes which were expertly cooked, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. What was unexpected is I didn’t need ketchup for it, it was seasoned so well! I am a lover of ketchup/gravy/sauce for all things potato, so when potatoes don’t require some sort of sauce I’m always pleasantly surprised.
We ended our meal with 2 sticky toffee puddings. Folks, this is worth going for all on its own. It had the BEST toffee sauce, filling the cup which made it so moist (obviously), but the cake didn’t disintegrate. I have eaten a lot of sticky toffee pudding, this put every other one I’ve ever eaten to shame. We were so happy we each ordered one and didn’t have to share. Phenomenal!!
The atmosphere was top notch as expected in the Remai, perfect for a mother, daughter date or a work lunch, or a lunch with a friend. Not too stuffy, not too casual so it meets all needs. Absolutely 10/10 recommend for a meal on the lighter side.
Note: there definitely were heavier items on the menu like a delicious looking grilled cheese, crispy chicken sandwich, or roast beef, but I didn’t venture into it – I will be upon my return.
Opening for lunch — smart move Hearth, well played.
