There's a certain segment of the Toronto population that likes to think that their city is the New York of the North. That type would surely gravitate to Eau, one of the new restaurants that's enlivening the formerly sedate King Street West area. It's cool, it's stylish, and it's way overpriced. The cocktail menu is funny without meaning to be: With martinis like the "bubble-eau-seven" (peach and pineapple juices with vodka) and "the-big-eau" (vodka, champagne and ice wine) costing C$13 to $18 (US$9.10-$13) apiece, there must be some kind of joke afoot. But there is good news here: The kitchen does a fine job with appetizers like blue-crab-and-avocado salad and entrees like roasted duck breast drizzled with a glaze of sour cherry and bourbon. Furthermore, while the gorgeous staff do pose a bit, they are actually very sweet and helpful.
