“Over the weekend, we also offer breakfast
and it’s very popular. We have fresh jams, and
create our hollandaise from scratch.”
If none of these items pique your fancy, you
may be interested to know that during the
summer Katana also offers a themed patio
menu. This year’s inspiration is Perch, Pizza,
and Pinot.
“As the name implies, we’ll be matching
a few of our pinot grigios and pinot noirs to
perch and pizzas,” Chef Morrisson says.
Katana also has its own signature cocktail
menu with various aviation-themed drinks:
Runway (raspberry, Curaçao and 7 Up), Horizon
(Malibu, cranberry and lemonade), and
the Aviation Cocktail (Aviation gin, maraschino,
and crème de violette), to name a few.
As one last note — for those who are fascinated
by everything aviation — the pinnacle
of action occurs at Katana when Airshow
London, the largest military air display in
Canada, comes to town (September 13 to 15).
For this special event, the restaurant plans a
fixed-price, custom three-course menu, and
offers customers the best seat in the house to
view the planes landing and taking off. If the
weather cooperates Katana also extends its
patio, increasing the seating capacity to make
more room for those who wish to sit outside.
All-in-all, while Katana may be “far out,
they like it that way” — and regardless of how
you journey there — you’ll always be greeted
with food and views that let you know you’ve
arrived.
