| - I'm a huge fan of Amsterdam Brewery, their 3 speed is the best light beer I've ever had. I know they already have a successful restaurant in the harbourfront area so I was very excited to see what Barrel House has to offer. To start, the interior is simply stunning. The different lights, furniture and decor create a unique ambiance that I've never felt before. The beer was excellent and they have 9$ beer flights (amazing!). I tried the Richmond & John which had the 3 speed, raspberry wheat, light ale blonde and adventure brew which happened to be the hell which had a citrusy undertone.
I took a recommendation from a good friend to order the buffalo cauliflower which ended up being super tasty! I'm not someone who's into buffalo sauce so this dish really changed me. It was beer battered, deep fried cauliflower chunks, lightly tossed in a subtle buffalo sauce, then laid on a bed of creamy ranch dressing. So definitely would recommend ordering this!
I also tried the butternut squash ravioli. I actually ordered this dish without reading the description so when it came I was pretty impressed! It looked like something that would come out of a five star restaurant. Giant ravioli pieces, tossed in a thin pesto, topped with juicy mushrooms, sundried tomatoes and fried batter pieces. I probably wouldn't order this for myself next time because of the portion size (great value for what you pay), and order this as a share plate with friends (very easy to split up).
Overall great experience here, they've only been open for a short period now and it's honestly getting a lot of traction! I will definitely be back again!
