I went to Parts & Labour for the first time last week after my boyfriend heard about it...
We just had the address for the place and didn't realize it was an old Pro Hardware store converted into a restaurant/lounge/bar. We missed it the first time going by.
The decor is simple and slick with lots of community tables and a large bar. I had the Sea bass carpaccio to start which was served with yummy radishes, green onions and an amazing drizzle sauce. My BF had their warm salad which was a special that day and all the veggies are locally grown and/or from their roof-top garden. It was delicious.
For my entree I had the Horse Tenderloin. I was skeptical at first as I have never had horse before but my BF encouraged me to give it a go. I must say I was so surprised at how amazing and tender it was. First of all, it was served on a huge cutting board that I almost wanted to steal for my own use at home, but the meat was cooked to perfection, medium-rate, juicy and just melted in my mouth. The portion size was just perfect for me and it came with some aparagus, mashed potato and bone marrow which I gave to my BF to suck on. My BF had the Cornish Hen which was very good as well but I think he had food envy when it came to the horse.
I encourage anyone to check this place out it's a hidden gem.
