5 Feb 2009 Last night we took a client to Madeline's, one of Susur Lee's Toronto ventures. Susur is, however, AWOL, having flown the coop to open Shang at the Thompson Hotel in NYC. It was clearly evident that he and his cooking were long gone! The food was greasy, tasteless and overpriced. We'd have been better at a fast... more

We took the SOHO Metropolitan's Susur package which was excellent value (for all the SOHO parts) but also included a 5 course tasting menu at Madeline's (actually SOHO gets to pick which Susur restaurant). We found the restaurant not overly busy but not too quiet either. The waitress tried to upsell us on an appertiser tasting platter on top of... more

Having had a marvelous meal at the original Susur's, I took my husband to Madeline's for a recent birthday to find out what Chef Susur had left us in Toronto after his recent departure. My alarm bells started ringing while waiting to be seated because of the volume of noise emanating from the dining area. This only got worse as... more

Susur Lee - probably one of Toronto's most famous chef - up there with Jamie Kennedy, Mark McKewen etc... I suppose in his defense, he's off in NYC with his latest venture and not involved in the operations of this resto on a daily basis. Let me be fair by saying the following things - I ate with a large... more

I took my wife to Madeline's for her birthday recently and we were very happy with the experience. They had a special tasting menu from Shang NYC which we ordered from. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, unhurried, and professional, and the price was reasonable for the quality of the meal. The wine prices are fairly steep so... more

Amazing place! Fantastic atmosphere! Susur personally visits your table and treats you like a valued customer. He'll even pose for a picture! The wait staff are unbelievably professional, classy, quick, and accommodating. The attention to detail and the 'little touches' are outstanding. We had the 8 course tasting menu for 140$ per person. It was worth every penny. Every course... more

One of the best venison I have ever had was at this restaurant. Everything about the place was fantastic food, presentation, service. I had a special treat and was able to tour the kitchen of the restaurant with Susur himself being my guide. It's a real shame he has moved to New York. more
