| - I love finding places that give value!
L'Usine de Saghetti's got the right mix, so here are your 1, 2, 3s
Atmosphere: Warm! The entire place is draped in wood - floors, walls, tables, chairs... it feels like they've carved out the place from inside of a massive tree. Small(isn) yet disruptively well spaced L'Usine is a great place to be on an intimate date or with a group of friends.
Food: This is where the place comes up trumps - a great selection of freshly made pastas served with a basket of fresh bread and an open bar salad. What's nice is that of the dishes I tried none where over-bearing or overly heavy, which leaves you with the opportunity to really savour the meal at hand. Le Golden Square mile was my favourite choice - extremely well done. Last, L'Usine has a great selection of wines - some of which are 'importation privée (ip) i.e. they have been exclusively procured for the L'Usine. Points! Prices range from $14-$18 per dish, and little more for the fancier varieties (with meats an such) - like I said, value!
Service: the service here is good - nothing overly fancy, in fact the waitresses are quite casual about their work. Not to say that they are slack or uninterested, but they are efficient and hardly noticeable otherwise. Bring some of your A French game when you come - some waitress' communicate best in French here. mais ce n'est pas un problème - juste une autre occasion de pracitice la langue de Molière!
Super great place to pop in for a date or gathering. Will certainly be coming back.
Eat well you all!
