I had a lovely meal at Bistro 896 last night. A 4-course meal for $15? Amazing value for delicious food. The leek and potato soup was simple, but tasty. The appetizer of Brussels sprouts salad was full of flavour and just delicious. The main of tourtière with the beet and feta salad on the side was really nice. Tourtière is something I eat a lot of every year during the Christmas Holidays & this was a good iteration: the meat was well-seasoned and juicy (tourtières are often dry when not well prepared), and the pastry was flaky. The brownie for dessert was simple, but very nice. It was still warm, and served with whipped cream, it was the perfect cap to the meal.
Overall, it was simple but tasty food that reminded me of home. I couldn't ask for more! In addition, the service was very good. It's a great option if you're on Queen St. East. I really enjoyed the experience, and I'll definitely be returning!
