| - Liverpool House is the sister restaurant to Joe Beef, and all-in-all isn't much different. The ingredients seemed to have a more Italian influence, but the fresh chalk-board format written in French and the overall feel were the same. You can see my Joe Beef review here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/joe-beef-montr%C3%A9al-2#hrid:n59hUnVH_DjwObH0Upo4Zg, my boyfriend and I went to Joe Beef the night before Liverpool house.
We came into Liverpool House with a strategy, ordering much lighter appetizers than the previous night: clams casino and tripe. My boyfriend had never had tripe before, and I had bad memories of a chewy substance in tomato sauce, but this was not the case at Liverpool House. The tripe was melt-in-your mouth good, and the sauce was so flavorful. A definite favorite and all the couples around us ordered it after seeing ours come out of the kitchen!
For dinner we thought we were being savvy ordering the lamb for two, in light of the overwhelming portions at Joe Beef the night before. Boy, were we wrong. What emerged from the kitchen could have easily fed a family of four. The meat was tender and perfect, and it came with a large dish of seasonal veggies. We finished the meal with some sweet sorbet, and ran off to some nearby bars to wash it all down.
Pro tip: try the Joe Beef Pilsner, very crisp and refreshing, and only available at Joe Beef, Liverpool House and a couple of other local spots.
