| - You really need to keep your eyes peeled for this place because like any certified hipster joint, it's almost invisible and is located in a very unassuming part of the street on dundas west, far from the hustle and bustle of the downtown core. My bf and I had reservations, which was a good thing since this place seemed to be immediately packed upon opening at 6pm. We didn't have a food menu but a drink menu instead, since the specials were written on a chalkboard on the wall for all to see (or try to see).
Being in an adventurous mood since this place really isn't for the faint of heart when beef heart is a menu option, we decided to get the following:
1. Charcuterie with bread (bread is extra) - tasty, all in all this was a decent charcuterie dish. I wish they did not charge extra for bread since isn't that a given when you eat charcuterie? Good way to get people to pay up for salty meats.
2. Bone marrow (market price of $9) - my favourite of the night, I am always a fan of bone marrow and the pieces we got were very succulent and filled to the brim with marrow.
3. Chochinita pibil tacos - aka 'pig tacos', which I did not find appetizing at all. Actually I think the pork meat tasted a little TOO sour...as in, the meat may not have been fresh. I took one bite of it and put it down. My bf finished the all the tacos because he found them okay.
4. Pig blood parpardelle - this was one tasty pasta dish, my bf absolutely loved it. The pig blood really added a springy taste so the pasts seemed more 'chewy' than usual, and flavour was good...none of that after-taste of pig blood, like the type you get when you cook pig blood cubes with soup.
5. Tongue on brioche - meh, I was too full by this time to eat this, so my bf packed it and ate it for lunch the next day. Nothing to rave about.
Also, this may just be an unfortunate coincidence (or maybe the sour pork meat), but I started feeling sick that same night around bedtime. The next day, I felt tired, had a general feeling of malaise and even a slight fever - this has never happened before, since it seemed to have come on suddently. My bf felt fine, so either I had a bad reaction to one of the meats, or I had indeed suffered a mild form of food poisoning. Thankfully, I was competely normal again the day afterwards.
I will not be coming back to this place, I think it was worth a try but not after that novelty wears off, there are other better food places to go.
