| - I've been wanting to come to Black Hoof for years, but as I live in a different province, I don't get much opportunity. Well, I was in town for the weekend and going out for supper with my sister. I gave her the option of choosing the restaurant and she knew I wanted to go here so it's where she chose. I was so excited.
We came at suppertime on a Saturday night, so no surprise that there wasn't a table open. They kindly suggested a visit to the BH owned cocktail bar across the street. We had time for one quick drink before we were called back.
The menu looked amazing and we chose three dishes that intrigued us, plus a sure to please cochinitas pibil tacos. We probably should have skipped the tacos and got another interesting dish. They were really great, but pretty tame.
We also ordered pigs ear slaw, bison heart terrine and horse tartare. All were quite excellent and disappeared quickly. My favorite was the terrine, which was good on it's own, but came with an amazing sweet mustard which really accentuated the terrine's flavour.
For drinks, I had a couple craft brews. First a draft Dieu du Ciel Immoralité which was quite good and then a Le Trou du Diable Sang-d'Encre which I had had before. Both were excellent additions to the meal.
There are so many good restaurants in Toronto, but the Black Hoof deserves a repeat visit just so I can experience the charcuterie platter and maybe some bonen marrow if it's still on the menu.
