In many ways the hearth is the heart of any kitchen, attracting people with the sights and smells of warm home-style meals being prepared. The Hearth by Lynn Crawford, brought to Toronto Pearson International Airport by HMSHost, conveys this calming feeling and welcoming ambiance and pairs it with a menu of exciting, yet comforting and accessible dishes for travelers to enjoy right in the airport, many of which are made with locally sourced ingredients. Chef Crawford offers US-bound passengers a distinctly Canadian, sophisticated dining experience that reflects the diverse food culture of the great city of Toronto.
Starters include comfort classics like caramelized onion soup and an assortment of flatbreads as well as even more innovative menu items to stimulate travelers’ tastes such as the smoked salmon mousse and fennel marmalade served with apples.
The Hearth’s menu serves unique takes on classical favorites – all prepared with a special dash of Chef Crawford’s ‘Hearth’ pizazz – such as the cider glazed pork chop with roasted apple chutney and sausage gravy; and the peameal on a bun sandwich made with honey mustard peameal bacon, aged Canadian cheddar and onion jam.
Early morning travelers can start their days with The Hearth’s farmer’s breakfast featuring eggs, bacon, and red bliss potatoes, cinnamon brioche, potato frittata, or opt for something lighter like yogurt and granola.
