The Chef de Cuisine The Restaurant Manager

As night falls, the floor-to-ceiling glass in Azure Restaurant creates a serene canopy of stars and Toronto city lights. Below, in the softly lit, graceful and airy room, the gaze is drawn to the blue hues of Stuart Reid's stunning glass artwork, Liquid Veil, which seems to float above the modern central bar and its impressive display of imported wines. White-clothed dining tables are dotted with subtle hints of the restaurant's signature colour - the deep blue of water glasses reflecting in soft candlelight.

The effect is one of peerless elegance and warmth. But at Azure, located at the InterContinental Toronto Centre at 225 Front Street West near Union Station and the theatre district, what pleases the eye and soothes the soul is only part of the entire sensory experience. What comes next are the best culinary creations conceived in Chef de Cuisine Jonaton Lome's gourmet kitchen, designed to tantalise the senses of gastronomic neophytes and gurus alike.

The Chef de Cuisine. Chef de Cuisine Jonaton Lome brings a wealth of experience to Azure Restaurant. His breadth of culinary skills is informed by his varied and impressive career, from mastering his craft in a small, family-owned business to working with well-known chefs, such as Massimo Capra and Jamie Kennedy. Chef Lome brings a new flavour to Azure while continuing the impeccable standard of quality and taste. “My culinary style is globally inspired,” says Lome. “I am so pleased to be able to further expand this style by incorporating the ethnic diversity of Toronto into my dishes while showcasing the exceptional seasonal products available locally.”  [Top]
