| - I've been to 3 Brasseurs all over town a bunch of times even though I find the food and beer just alright.
I probably will be back because I like the atmosphere and service. Even when it's happy hour, waiting times are never too long.
The beer itself is good, I like the blonde or the white best- their red has a bitter aftertaste and their stout is just too heavy for me.
Their beer cocktails are interesting, you can have them mixed with sprite, grenadine, shot of whisky, lemon liqueur etc.
Food actually kind of sucks. They rarely ever have specials or change their menu, I find it so bland. Their "pizza" like dishes are lackluster. They used to have some with chicken as a topping and it was removed from the menu, no clue why as it was the only good one. Crust is too thin, cripsy like a cracker or soft like wet pita depending on the day...
Their burgers are ok, the beer battered one in particular, but fries are frozen and just so flavorless. They serve everything with that mustard/mayo sauce to mask their lack of flavor.
They serve beer battered thick cut fries as an appetizer dish, but you cannot ask for it as a side, instead of regular fries, the waitress told me they are already individually portioned, so frozen, as a basket appetizer and it would be too much with a burger or anything else I was getting.
The wraps are a real mess, I've tried their avocado chicken wrap as well as a bbq chicken and it was always steaming hot with a soggy center, mushy pita. Looks like it came straight out of the microwave..
Fish and chips another awful mess, fish incredibly oily and soggy.
Their chicken brochette dish would be the best I had of the bunch but for 14$ the portion is incredibly small. I always like to replace my fries with a side of rice and unfortunately it looks like they only give you 3 spoonfuls. Once, their green beans were undercooked, hard, to the point of being raw.
I don't come here for the food, neither should you, unless you just want a burger or nachos- A couple drinks or place to hang after work is what it's for.
