| - For a long time, I was a little reluctant to go to Hachoir due to many people saying it was pricey. Already, that's a bit of a turn off. For a burger, I'm not going to go drop 25$ on a beer and some sort of edible something between two buns. However, on this night I had some extra money and I figured " Treat yo' self."
Upon entering the venue, I thought it was kind of dark inside. The clientele was young-ish, minus the couple next to us on a date in their mid-forties where the guy was talking about the size of his you-know-what the whole time to his date. Overall though, the vibe was okay and the hockey game was on so my boyfriend was stoked. The bathroom and restaurant in general was clean which can stand to the illusion that it's a good sign.
I started with a Griffon Rousse, their beer selection was "meh" but they had a more eclectic wine list so I should of ventured that route if I really wanted to be judgy. However, my boyfriend ordered an old fashioned and it was delicious.
Their menu is small so I say this to all vegetarians who decide to eat at this place: you really have no other choice than to order their veggie burger, "Le Végétal" (as for vegans, don't go here). This burger is a breaded portobello mushroom, stuffed with cheese and comes topped with a house green-pepper mayo, lettuce, tomato and cucumbers.
Now, first of all, when it comes to eating portobello mushroom burgers, I am always a little worried. They are slimy. Their texture when cooked is gross. They don't absorb taste. At Hachoir, I was ready to embark on this journey only because they had stuffed the portobello with cheese and it was breaded. However, I didn't even taste any cheese in my burger. If it was there, it must of been overcome by the taste of bread but I don't even think that's possible. Oh yeah, upon first bite to last, eating this burger was a total battle. Despite being "breaded" the portobello started slipping out of the bun immediately. I spent more time trying to find the cheese in my burger and then readjusting my patty than enjoying my eating experience at all.
I played with my food from ages birth to 3 years old... It wasn't the place or the time to do it. The fries, on a side note, were okay. The side salad was weak, but I've never been to a restaurant where I've gotten a side salad and said, "WOW! What an amazing side-salad!" That just never happens.
Needless to say, I was disappointed (and once again correct about the portobello being a total fail choice for a vegetarian burger) by the food but the service was good, the restaurant was clean, and the dude next to us talking about his woohoo was entertaining to say the least.
