For some, the most unpleasant part of any meal out is when it comes time to tip. Suddenly a number of questions arise: What’s a fair amount to leave? Am I tipping based on the total before or after tax? Why does Canada have such a rampant tipping culture?
What’s on the menu of upscale plant-based food at Folke?
The 1,400-square-foot Folke, which is currently open for dinner service only, is a warm, intimate room. The menu changes based on ingredient availability and seasonality; descriptions on the menu card/website are scant, so you will have the opportunity to engage with your server to find out how the dishes are prepared. For example, the “Squash” dish, which is described as “daal, lemongrass, apple,” is actually a half-dozen squash studded fritters. The golden-brown orbs have a crispy, salty exterior and a soft – but not gooey – interior, and come with a squash puree for dipping and a small salad of bitter radicchio and sweet apple for balance.
