La Maquette Restaurant
Health Care in Toronto

When La Maquette owner/executive chef Ange Kanavas speaks, passion resonates. But be careful bringing your sweetie here; La Maquette just might become the new love of your life. The décor further reflects Kanavas" loving yet meticulous approach to her "home" with the use of marble, hanging chandeliers, a delicate waterfall and other romantic touches that create a sublime haven that's perfect for first dates, proposals and even wedding receptions. The dishes continue this duality by reflecting both her background as a healthconscious nutritionist and her love for luxurious ingredients as a chef. The pairing of French and Italian cuisine illustrates this, as the French highlights Kanavas' prestigious schooling and intricate knowledge while the Italian recalls something less regimented and more soulful: the informal teachings of Mama, the chef at one of her previouslyowned restaurants. "La Maquette is my home, Kanavas has created a dream come true over the last ten years-for herself, I want them to receive the very best." Indeed, "and when guests come into my home, " she explains, and for every diner who walks through the door-by balancing her restaurant between the technical and the heartfelt. For Ange Kanavas, it already is.
