| - HORSE TARTARE.
I ate here two and a half weeks ago and I'm still dreaming of it at night. Everything we got here was excellent.
For two people we ordered:
Horse Tartare, Fois Torchon, Bone Marrow, Snail and Mushroom Tagliatelle, and two beers.
Seriously just thinking about the tartare is making my mouth water. The meat was lean, but really rich and creamy with the egg yolk, then you had the super thin veggie chips, raw shallots/onions and other earth sprouts that gave it such a nice balance of flavours and textures. That entire dish was just excellently executed. Yes it's raw horse meat, yes you should try it. PERFECTION. Seriously. I would've licked the plate, but I didn't want to embarrass my date even more. ($17)
The Fois Torchon was pretty good, creamy, salty, yummy. But I expected more. I think this was the only dish I was partially disappointed in... But the jam on the side really complemented the super saltiness of the fois.
The bone marrow was yummy, obviously. Creamy, fatty, oily, salty... what more could you ask for? It also came with grapefruit horseradish. Super interesting. Another MUST order. Yumm... (Market Price: $9)
Snail and Mushroom Tagliatelle is surprisingly filling. It was a good ending dish for us. It was pretty heavy after all the pure fat we ate--- the pasta noodles were really big and thick I don't remember a lot about the flavours of this dish because it was super yummy and had great texture, and I was just stuffing my face with everything.
The waiters were really nice, they brought everything out at a really good rate for us. They paid attention to when we were about to finish a plate and started to bring out the next one. They were helpful when we asked about the menu items and our water/beer cups were never empty.
Our total came up to around $100 with tax for two people, tip not included.
I wanted the Fois on French Toast but they didn't have it on the menu that night. Can't wait to come back and try their other dishes/ cocktails!
