| - Que Supper Club is one of the newest spots on Queen East and takes a mish-mosh of Southern BBQ with Asian and Latin inspirations to a serious new level.
Complete with their own version of "Redneck Sushi", Fusion Tacos, and more, Que looked too interesting to pass up, so I decided to pop by here last week with a group of fellow foodies to check it out.
We came on a Tuesday and Que was pretty empty. There were a few other diners but we mostly had the place to ourselves. The décor is sleek and modern - and it really seems to set itself apart from many of the other establishments near Queen & Parliament.
While the service was extremely friendly, we did feel that our waitress could have been a bit more present (check on us more often, refill water more often, etc.) given that they were not busy and there were not too many other patrons in the restaurant.
We started off with a pitcher of pear sangria and it was light, refreshing, and fruity. A little light on the alcohol, but perfect for a warm summer evening.
Onto the good stuff: the FOOD! The menu has a lot of interesting variety, and different sizable plates. If you want to order an entrée for yourself you can do so, or if you want to order a few plates for sharing with others many of the items are easy to do that with. I sampled the following:
Kim Chi & Bulgogi Beef Tacos: OHMYGOD. These are done RIGHT. The flavours of the Kim Chi & Bugogi beef were fantastic, the taco shell was warm and fresh and perfect, and they came with a big ol side of their delicious signature fries (think shoestring fries, but thinner, crispier, and with some spice. Fantastic.)
Korean Short Ribs: A-OK. Not knock your socks off like the tacos, but still yummy.
Crispy Jerk Redneck Sushi: We couldn't come here and NOT get the redneck sushi. Think regular sushi, but warmer, and this version came with bacon, rice, coleslaw and plantain. Also on the A-Okay front. Their coleslaw is fantastic but the flavours I felt got muddled a bit. I think I'd like to try a couple other versions of the sushi to get a real feel for it.
Que Brisket with Garlic Mash: The garlic mash was fantastic. Like, lick your plate clean fantastic. It also came with some melt in your mouth carrots and broccoli. Brisket fell apart nicely, and had some good flavours going on.
Skewers: The skewers are cheap and great bar snacks. The shrimp was seasoned fantastically and I would eat TONS of those skewers. The apple pork was more dry and lacking on the flavour front - I'd stick with the shrimp going forward.
Overall, Que is really a gem of the area. There is so many things on the menu I want to try, so I know I'll be back!
