| - I would easily rank Tequila Bookworm as one of the best pubs in the city. The vibe is amazing, the beer selection is aces, and the food is delicious.
On this particular visit, I tried a superb IPA called Bear Hug and ate the joint's Traditional Poutine ("beef gravy, quebec cheese curds, green peppercorns, chives").
It's an incredibly simple dish that's done so, so well. For one thing, it's a much bigger portion than I was expecting. I shared the dish with my dining companion and it was more than enough food.
But beyond portion size, this is just an absolutely flawless poutine. As good as the fries and gravy are, the dish's success is due mostly to the extremely generous portion of cheese contained within. The poutine has been assembled in such a way as it contains curds all the way to the bottom, thus ensuring that there's hardly a forkful that doesn't feature ooey, gooey cheese. It's magnificent.
The service was quick and attentive, too. What a place.
