  • SUMMARY: This place is a definite 4. The chefs are skillful and the flavours are rich. Knowing that I might never visit this restaurant again, my companion and I ordered everything that piqued our interest based on numerous Yelp reviews, i.e., Foie Gras Poutine, Crispy Salad, Bison Tongue, Duck in a Can and Pied Du Cochon. That's a lot of food for only 2 people - but we paced ourselves and packed up part of our appetizers. As we were waiting for our mains, we glimpsed some bone marrow in the open kitchen and discovered it was not listed on the menu. My companion just had to try it, so we ordered it and it turned out to be a real highlight of the evening! There were some delicious mushrooms on top of the marrow, and I believe there was some sake in the marrow. I hate to say it, but the appetizers were the best part of the meal. The Duck in a Can, though an interesting novelty, was rather salty and the meat seemed overly cured. Also, after eating Foie Gras with the poutine as well as eating the bone marrow, our stomachs were probably significantly dulled by the amount of fat we'd already ingested. The Pied Du Cochon had an interesting flavour, the meat was tender, the cabbage(?) was smoky and slightly sweet and sour. The skin really melted in my mouth, but by then I didn't want food that melted in my mouth. The saving grace was the virgin mojito with fresh mint and raspberries that tempered the flavours of the meal. We left with a significant amount of leftovers (I think we only took 5 bites of the Pied Du Cochon, which was huge)...and then gave it to a homeless person who seemed very appreciative to receive our leftovers (though he probably had no idea how much the meal inside the bag was worth!). I think Foie Gras Poutine already has mythic status in foodie circles, hence, this visit was worth it for the experience. If I were to go there again (maybe after a few years of burning off these calories), I would probably stick with ordering a few appetizers with a mojito. There's only so much fat one can eat in one sitting...
