Local Bounty in St. Catharines, Ont

While shooting a "Home Tour" in St. Catharines, ON, for HGTV.ca -- from whence I hail -- I lucked into a household with a Chef. This Chef happens to be Erik Peacock, of James' Chatto-reviewed restaurant, Wellington Court. Erik is also the Chef at the Coach House, a seasonal cafe at the Henry of Pelham Estate winery (opens again in May).

Restaurant guide

This handsome Edwardian building holds three small rooms done in chocolate brown and white with abstract paintings adding sunny splashes of colour. Chef-owner Erik Peacock caters to both conservative diners and those looking for adventure. Salmon tataki is sharply done, with squares of the rare fish accoutred with salty soy jelly, zippy jalapeño mayo and crushed peas for added texture. Trout almandine is given a stylish make-over: a slow-roasted fillet is set on airy, lemon-scented gnocchi, green beans, slivered almonds and a subtle beurre blanc. A duck duo unites rare petals of charred breast and succulent confit leg on a garlicky cannellini bean and sausage cassoulet. Sticky toffee pudding is divine. The wine list includes international and local bottles in equal numbers. Knowledgeable service. Mains $18-$35.

So his role in the Niagara region's 15th annual Cuvée one of my favourite food and wine fests, which begins Friday and lasts three days- seemed like the perfect excuse to visit him at his St. Catharines restaurant.

“First impressions suggest a lonely Edwardian on a forgotten downtown street. Inside, full-length mirrors might give the illusion of a greater space were it not for the shrinking effects of walls painted black. Large pastel paintings complete the jarring effect.
