Yay for adventures with Bartek! We drove out to Tetrauville because last time he tried this restaurant they had been out of the whole, half and quarter chicken. Following a glowing review by Eve Dumas in La Presse this tiny odd delicious spot experienced a wave of excited customers. They are still feeling the effects but the lines are gone and the staff are hitting their stride and it's a perfect time to head out on a Chicken Adventure.
We were able to sit right away and enjoy the collection of vintage beer bottles and jars of pickled peppers on the walls. We started with a delicious Paloma cocktail and ordered a quarter chicken which came perfectly moist and spicy with Pakistani seasoning and fries and coleslaw - all homemade and perfect; a giant and crazy interesting Poutine au Coq with beautiful tender chicken, gravy with butter chicken spices, and chimichurri on top. We also shared an excellent Ceasar salad with whole pieces of freshly cooked bacon, and an order of the special Hakka chicken wings which are officially my favourite chicken wings. Everything was cooked to order, made with great quality ingredients and exciting flavours. The co-owners come from vast restaurant experience including Liverpool House and APDC so you can taste all this high level food nerd pedigree but the room and the vibe is completely unpretentious, friendly, funny, part of the neighbourhood. I wish them all the love and success and can't wait to go back.
