| - I'd give it a 3.5 if I could!
C'est What? is a place that I've passed by a thousand times, and I've only managed to visit it for the first time a couple of nights ago. The place has a cool kind of basement vibe that reminds me of Down One which used to be a block away from here. There's a pool table on either end of the room and near the middle, a nice cozy area with a fireplace and some couches too.
I liked the menu because there wasn't an overwhelming amount of things to choose from. I decided to go with the lamburger and fries, and my friend settled on the jambalaya.
The burger was cooked to medium and served on a ciabatta bun. Total winner. The fries were tasty and seasoned nicely too. I only got a taste of the jambalaya, which was okay. Based on the picture in the menu, and on an eye test in person, its not something I would order on my next visit. Not because it was awful or anything. It just seemed... uninspired?
Besides the food, C'est What? also boasts a pretty extensive beer and wine selection. The beer menu only features Canadian-made craft beers and the wine list is made up entirely of VQA selections. A few months of living in Vancouver really kickstarted a craft beer obsession within me, so this was good news. I opted for a bottle of La Fin du Monde (The End of the World) which was pretty awesome. I could see myself coming back to this place time and again just to try out the rest of their craft beer selection.
C'est What? loses marks for the service, which was not the worst I've come across. Although, had we been made to feel a bit more welcome then it would easily be a 5 star review.
If I was still living in the city, I would easily be a regular at C'est What? The laid-back atmostphere makes it an easy choice to come back to over and over again. Look forward to visiting again.
