| - I really enjoy the novelty of the cart service at Thazard, although perhaps it's just novel to me. Either way, when the cart came by our table I couldn't resist ordering a few treats from it and ended up with kimchi, pickled vegetables, and a veggie sushi roll before ordering any actual dinner. Luckily my fellow diners were more than happy to share and since the portions weren't giant I still had room to order the Warm Salad (made with rapini, root vegetables, bonito, tofu, eggplant and miso purée) and Miso Poutine (with miso butter, cheddar, and kimchi).
The warm salad had a lot of potential to be so delicious, but unfortunately I kept running into partially cooked root vegetables. However, the bites that were cooked well were done really well and so I would give the salad another try. For the poutine I ordered it for two reasons: 1. I have to order poutine at least once per trip to Canada (it's part of my contract I made with myself) and 2. it was very different than any other poutine I'd encountered. It had kimchi on it for crying out loud! It was interesting, but I would probably try something else if I visited again just because the menu features a lot of food that sounds worth trying.
The space is really cozy and warm - I especially like the lighting. And the service is quite friendly. So, it was a lovely dinner experience all in all and I'd be happy to head back another time.
