| - So I really wanted to love La Belle Et La Boeuf. In the end, I think it's a really chill place if you're down for a drink - but as a restaurant, I don't think it's anything special.
Let me start by saying their drink list is extensive. They have wine, spirits, absinth, beer, really anything you could think of - plus their share of unique cocktails, all of which sound amazing. I tried a cocktail called the Pacman, which looked delicious and tasted even better, and I'm definitely going to go back to try many more (all?) of their drinks.
The vibe is great, too. The rustic decor plus the crowd kind of makes it feel like a really trendy bar instead of a restaurant, which I think is great. The music might have been on the loud side, but it wasn't anything unmanageable. Our server was super nice, too. No complaints there.
Really, the only thing that didn't leave a lasting impression on me was the food. I had the Beauty burger with fries, and the meal comes with coleslaw and a Kool-Aid pickle. My favourite parts of the meal were the coleslaw and the pickle; the burger didn't stand out as much as it should have, and the fries weren't the best.
All in all, I've had better hamburgers and fries. As a burger joint, I wouldn't say it stands out. As a trendy place to grab a drink, though, I'd totally recommend it.
