| - On a Saturday evening during La Poutine Week, my friends and I made the trek to &Company Resto Bar in Mississauga, seeing how we live on the north and east side of Toronto (Markham/Scarborough), it is a trek. We had already spent earlier in the week going to most of the other participating restaurants that were more central to Toronto. &Company Resto Bar was offering for La Poutine Week, a gnocchi poutine with braised beef cheeks and crispy garlic and it was by far the most unique poutine of the week and we made a last minute decision to go as it's not opened on Sunday.
We arrived around 9:30pm and parked across the street. In front of the doors were security guards who checked our IDs. It's a "resto bar", after 9pm, ok, sure. Then we were greeted by a hostess who asked us if we had a reservation, which we didn't, and she said there's a $20 per person cover to go in. We just wanted to try their poutine. The hostess had no idea what I was talking about and insisted we pay the cover in order to go in. At this point another staff member came to ask what the issue was, he then went to inform the manager.
The manager comes to speak to us, but informed us that there aren't any table, they could however set us up at the bar. We were okay with that and were escorted to the bar. We decided to just order right away as they set us up. 10 minutes later the bar staff comes back to ask if we'd like to have that there or to go, seeing how nothing has been set up for us to stay, we decided to have it to go. Five minutes later the manager comes to us at the bar telling us he'll set us up to sit at the bar, to which we told him we had ordered it to go anyway. Another five minutes goes by and the bar staff returns with a bag with our poutines. We ask for some plastic cutlery as we were planning on eating it in the car, he goes to look and returns with nothing, stating they've run out and if we really wanted some he'd go get them from the storage. At this point, we have had it and we desperately need to leave as our experience was getting worse and worse.
We drove to a nearby friend's home who brought us some plastic forks and had the poutine on their driveway. The poutine was fantastic, one of top three favourite poutines of the week, but there's just no way I'd go back. I can't help but laugh every time I see their restaurant name participating in something (like Mac & Cheese week), as if I'd go back there again!
