| - I was not sure what to expect with my first meal at Keriwa Cafe. Ive never eaten at an Aboriginal Canadian restaurant before. The thoughts were crossing my mind of tasting all sorts obscure ingredients just for the sake of being "different". It turned out to be absolutely delicious! The cocktail and oysters we had to start were fantastic. The oysters came with a little apple topping which I was sceptical about, but ended up complimenting the fresh oysters perfectly. The cocktail menu is quite well constructed with a great variety of fresh and unique flavours on offer. Very alcoholic though (which wasn't a problem). Ask the wait staff what the specials are.
The main of Bison Shortrib was tender, full of flavour, juicy and came with a complimentary variety of purée flavours and a risotto. The servings are small so I would recommend getting some sides to fill it out a little. Bison is a new meat for me, being from Australia, but I am a convert after eating this meal.
Overall the meal was pleasant, the service attentive, but maybe a little on the "snooty" side, and the original flavour combinations very pleasing on the palette. Pricing is a little on the high end so make sure you get someone else to pay for you. Great restaurant, good drinks, decent food. Worth checking out if you're looking for a menu that is a little different, but prepared and served deliciously.
