The long weekend may be behind us, but there's always another occasion worth gathering for.

Introducing our DUCK “NUGGETS.”
Delicate confit duck, crisp chicken skin, and the richness of foie gras, balanced by honey mustard and sweet & sour plum. A refined interpretation of a familiar favourite, where a little playfulness meets thoughtful ex*****on.

As we return from the holiday, we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable dining experience at The Standard.

Here's to the little things that make life worth celebrating. Good food and the moments that bring us together around a table.

This Thanksgiving weekend, we're feeling especially grateful for the wonderful people who continue to make evenings at The Standard so memorable.

A little look back at our Oktoberfest B**r Dinner, where five thoughtfully crafted courses, exceptional Erdinger b**rs, and plenty of raised glasses made for an evening to remember. To everyone who joined us, thank you for being part of it.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, filled with good food, good company, and plenty to be thankful for.

We're closed today and Thanksgiving Monday to enjoy the holiday.

And speaking of reasons to gather, our next b**r dinner, Belgian Noël, is now open for reservations! Six courses, six Belgian Christmas ales, and another wonderful evening in the making.

Good taste is meant to be shared.

PATA NEGRA & DONUTS.
An unexpected pairing of 24-month aged Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, pillowy yeast donuts, and guindilla smoked béarnaise.

A rather good way to start the evening. Even better in good company.
