| - Aloette is a causal french bistro locates on the ground floor of same building of its well-known sister, Canadian's best restaurant, Alo. Although Aloette is supposed to be more down to earth, it doesn't mean the level of service or food are lesser quality.
I was greeted by the friendly manager when I entered the bistro, and they offer coat check service. The restaurant was small and cozy; tables can fit group of 4 at most. The decor is classy and resemble Alo's style. I was seated at the bar and was excited to see the beautiful dishes coming out from kitchen.
The menu is simple yet it covers the seafood, meat, vegetarian options in appetizers and mains. The drink menu offers choices of cocktail, beer, wine, pops and juice. I tried the Beef Tartare appetizer with a Kale Celery juice.
My food and drink arrived at the same time and came with a complimentary bread and spread. First of all, the portion of the beef tartare was pretty generous. The beef was very fresh and nicely topped with sauce made with horseradish, caper, Dijon. The sauce was little on the salty side. The Kale juice was refreshing as well. The bread and spread on the house was warm and fresh.
Service was attentive during my whole meal; my glass was never empty. My waiter (I believe he is the manager) came regularly to ensure everything was fine. Even chefs were friendly and gave me friendly smile. Since it was the first official day of service, Chef Patrick Kriss was there and he greeted me.
I will definitely go back with my friends to try all the dishes on the menu.
