DINING 25 The West Mall #1240 Etobicoke, ON Union Chicken comes to us from the same folks behind The Carbon Bar. The menu is obviously chicken-based, fried and rotisserie free range organic from small production farms within 100 km of the restaurant. Think casual and rustic but with a slick sheen in terms of looks, all plopped into the setting of CF Sherway Gardens. There’s no direct access to the mall from the restaurant. Airy and bright, you have a 360-degree view of the restaurant from every angle. Sumptuous leather chairs and stools add to a rich crafty feel, and there’s a huge garage door along one wall that can open in the summer. T hey hunted down a churrasco style rotisserie oven imported from Europe, the big difference on this piece of equipment being that heat comes from below, not the sides, so it’s easier to control. Rotisserie chicken comes with grilled lemon for some acidity, as well as a healthy portion of achiote dipping sauce to add a rich, tangy flavour. It’s $28 for a whole chicken, $16 for our half order. 76 4GUYS.CA
