| - Came to Crown & Tiger with boyfriend after a short dinner with friends at La Palette. He had told me he wasn't that hungry so we got the duck confit (single leg) to share. He also wasn't feeling very well, so I thought that that would be enough for us. Keeping in mind I had had a family dinner prior and was really just there to see some old friends, and that I just ate the accompanying veggies.
Well... it turns out that I underestimated boyfriend's appetite, and so we went over to the Crown & Tiger (as he had previously been here before and really enjoyed the Coney fries). Boyfriend tends to like the pubs. I have been to Fossil & Haggis in Scarborough 3 times in one week since we met. I think I'm turning into a pub whore now. Oi!
We ordered the Coney Fries AND Onion Rings... I think boyfriend is trying to fatten me up to weed out the competition? And just the day before when we were at Fossil & Haggis he had sworn off late night, greasy pub fare. Apparently tonight was an exception because the ungratifying portions of French food at La Palette left more to be desired.
The Coney fries were basically their house fries topped with beef, beans, and cheese. Think Chili fries minus the chili sauce. The fries were thin cut (my preference), and the cheese was stringy. However, the chef must've been falling asleep (seeing as it was 12:30AM, this is quite possible), and some parts of the fries were overly salted. Yikes!
The Onion Rings were delicious and fried to a golden brown.
During dinner at La Palette the topic of poutine came up. Boyfriend had kidded while we were chowing down the Onion Rings and Coney Fries that he might order Poutine. Alas, he did not end up ordering la Poutine, but he did go ahead and order another basket of house fries. He said the Coney Fries were disappointing and he just HAD to have the house fries to redeem his love for Crown & Tiger. And so redemption was found in the house fries. This time, the chef probably woke up, as there were no randomly, heavily salted fries.
We didn't have any drinks as I was driving and Boyfriend isn't much of a drinker. But I did see "$12 for 4 shots of tequila/Jager" scribbled on a chalkboard on the wall. This place could bring the phrase "cheap drunk" from a cliché to reality. 1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila, FLOOR!
The damage at the end of the day was $20 including tip. Not bad considering we ordered 3 different items.
