ONE HALF of Deep Cove
Village’s haute cuisine duo
is still very much alive and
cooking, and that’s good
news for Deep Cove fans
and gocd focd fans, alike.

The recent passing of the Nut-
shellinspired much blubbering
within dining circles.

But weeping gastronomes had
only te wander a few short steps
up the Gallant Avenue strip to
satiate their haute food cravings
and stanch the flow of culinary
misery.

The Savoury has long been one
of the North Shore's better restau-
rants, playing a somewhat conser-
vative big brother to the more ec-
centric Nutshel/ over the years that
the two were providing a great
one-two dining punch for Deep
Cove visitors.

Its reliability remains intact, and
its food, service and atmosphere

Owner and head chef Augusto
Pecorelli continues to create col-
orful cuisine that bears the distinc-
tive character and simmering pas-
sion of his native Portugal: abun-
dant fresh seafood prepared with a
careful balance of simplicity and
inspiration so that subt!e seafood
flavors prevail over lofty artistic
pretensions; pork, veal, steak and
the more aristocratic members of
the fowl family all benefit from the
same Portuguese zest.

The Savoury’s menu has chang-
ed little since | was last there four
years ago. Only the prices have
kept pace with the times. Rack of
Lamb Djakarta was $16.95 then
and is $19.95 now. For anyone
who has never sampled this
Savoury classic it comes highly
recommended.

One of the outstanding features
of The Savoury (besides its good
selection of fine ports) is its table-
side service.

Flambe and Caesar salad trolleys
roll back and forth throughout the
evening manned with great effi-
ciency and skill by head waiter
Peter Milcak, who plays both with
the dexterity of a symphony tim-
panist.

Such table-side theatrics are
more the exception than the rule
these days, and that’s too bad
because they add a touch of
much-needed show biz and flash
to the all too often restaurant ser-
vice by rote.

Having declined the offer of ‘‘a
drinkie poo”’ from The Savoury’s
hostess, | surveyed the restaurant's
wine list. It contains some interest-
ing departures from the norm:
Garrafeira ($30.25), for example, a
private reserve Portuguese special-
ty wine aged a minimum of two
years in cask, came highly
recommended by former Nutshell
waiter extraordinaire Jeffrey
