I like Poutine. (Especially with sausage) - Anyone who doesn't?
My esteemed sister and I went to Belgo this week for a mid-week lunch and some deliciousness. I haven't been to Belgo for five years - so I knew I liked it then and was excited for this round two adventure. It didn't disappoint. I remembered a great poutine, so I surely ordered it again for an appetizer (because carbs are my friend) and it was really good. It was very hot (read here very fresh), awesome cheese curds, good sauce, delicious sausage slices and nice big toasty taters for "fries". Score one for the poutine.
A cute feature they offer is the 2 for 25$ deal which gives you a choice of three appetizers and choice of three mains for 25 $ - which is a decent price at a high end restaurant. However, we were swayed away to the lunch menu as there were numerous items that peaked our interest. My sister in crime ordered the burger which she shared graciously with me - and it was delicious. They did a good burger. I had the prime rib beef dip which was yummy! It came with a surprisingly large amount of really great meat and beef dip that was really tasty (not too salty either). Only complaint is the sandwich could have been a little hotter. The star of the meal was the mac and cheese as a side (yes - a restaurant that gives an awesome M&C side option like the USA - loves it). It was in a small dish to its own, nicely hot, roasted tomatoes and chicken included. It made me very happy to have as an option and happier it was well done.
The beer menu as mentioned below is outstanding and they likely have one of the biggest in the city with lots of import beer. It makes for a fun Saturday night of taste testing with a poutine. The prices can be a bit high for the steaks and main dishes, but it's expected for the restaurant that it is (the lunch prices were very reasonable and comparable).
Our service on this visit was exceptional and the waitress was a joy to have as our server (wish I knew her name). Her perfect amount of joking with the right amount of professionalism made her fun to have at our table doing follow-ups and water refills. I easily booked the reso on Open Table which was convenient as it was quite full by noon with the downtown sales crowd.
