STYLE WEEKLY TRAVEL SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2007 -ft I JTJl PHO rOS COURTESY OF ENROUTE MAGAZINE Jeremy Charles of Atlantica, a restaurant in Portugal Cove near St. John's, is described by enRoute magazine as 'an abundantly talented chef who creates unexpected and enchanting dishes. PAGE L6 i The best ew restaurant in the country I ft" is in Newfoundland The November issue of Air Canada's enRoute magazine announces the top new restaurants across Canada in its sixth annual survey. Describing this years list as "surprisingly eclectic," enRoute says the restaurants, all of which opened between July 2006 and June 2007, have little in common except for "offering good, honest food." SAM LEUNG, THE VANCOUVER PROVINCE Sean Heather is a co-owner of the Salt Tasting Room, one of two Vancouver restaurants on the list. 1 1 Here's enRoute slop 10: 1.

Atlantica, near St John's, Newfoundland: "Just finding the place is a bit of an accomplishment," says enRoute contributing editor Chris Johns. "Although it's tempting to turn at the signpost leading to keep driving and you'll find another kind of paradise further down the road." The win was announced in the St. John's Telegram earlier this week by writer Karl Wells, an adviser for the annual enRoute survey. "When I first joined the enRoute panel I doubted given the competition from great restaurant cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver that our province would even come close to making the Top 10," said Wells. "At least, I didn't think we would for many years.

I'm delighted I was wrong." 2. Kingyo Izakaya, Vancouver: "If this were a search for Canada's most dangerous new restaurant, Kingyo would be a shoo-in," says enRoute. "Open flames and sharp twigs are only some of the perils that await." 3. Salt Tasting Room, Vancouver: "It takes guts to open a restaurant without a kitchen on a street known as blood alley and then decorate it like a prison cafeteria. Salt has guts in spades." 4.

Bistro Bienville, Montreal: "This is exactly the kind of food we would all cook at home if we could No neighbourhood, no city, no country can have too many delicious, casual spots as good as this." 5. Colbourne Lane, Toronto: "Chef Claudio Aprile has the confidence to create dishes that approach but never quite go over the top." 6. Le Moine chanson, Quebec City: "Don't let the decor fool you Cooking this confident and cultivated needs no ornamentation." 7. The Trough Dining Canmore, Alberta: "Both the servings and the flavours are big and generous." 8. Restaurant L'ldylle, Dieppe, New Brunswick: "The oldest house in Dieppe is serving some very modern food." 9.

Blink Restaurant, Calgary: "A good old-fashioned restaurant, with plenty of vegetarian food, which may be revolutionary for Calgary." 10. Foxley Bistro, Toronto: "The kitchen isn't afraid to get Cro-Magnon pork ribs require not only a finger bath, but possibly a post-dinner bath." r- a --lit 1 I r.
