| - Went here on a Sunday night with a friend after work. I'm all about pub food and after a long day, I was looking forward to drinks and something greasy and delicious to comfort me.
Our server was really fantastic, honestly the highlight of our stay at Les 3 Brasseurs. she was quick, courteous, and let my indecisive friend and I take our time ordering.
My friend got the dijon mussels and they were pretty delicious. She loved them and the one she let me try was great.
I, on the other hand got the Texas burger with a side of fries. For $13.25 I expect a certain quality of burger... What I received was a dry, pre-formed patty which was smaller than the bun with a heap of shredded lettuce, mushrooms, fried onions (the best part of the burger). I can't know, because I don't work in the kitchen, but I am fairly certain this patty came from frozen. I should have been concerned when the waitress didn't ask how I liked my meat cooked (medium rare, if you must know) but I recieved a burger done medium-well and it was absolutely dry. I couldn't finish it. I ate the fries, which were nothing to write home about either. They also forgot to include the jalapenos, which were supposed to come as a topping... I guess this kind of burger would be acceptable for a Harvey's or something, where you get what you pay for (6$ for a pre-formed patty and some fries) but for 14 bucks I'd much rather go to another pub where they will actually give me a decent, nay, excellent burger. There are plenty of pubs in the downtown core who charge similar prices and have MASSIVE, home-made burgers which can be cooked to your specifications.
It was my first time there and, considering how many pubs and restaurants are in that area, I will never return.
