Here's what went down at the Toronto Life Best Restaurants 2018 party at the Evergreen Brick Works

To commemorate Toronto Life’s annual Where to Eat Now issue, a star-studded lineup of chefs from 23 Toronto kitchens served up signature dishes for more than 1,200 guests at the Evergreen Brick Works on Monday night. Crowd favourites included General Assembly Pizza’s wood-fired pepperoni and mushroom pies; Estia’s perfectly grilled octopus with spicy ‘nduja; Bacchanal’s indulgent escargot agnolotti and miniature Paris-Brest pastries; and Café Cancan’s heaping foie gras parfaits on brioche with strawberry-rhubarb jam. And of course, the made-for-social-media edible balloons were a big hit too.

Here’s the full menu:
