| - I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately this restaurant did not live up to my expectations.
I'll start off by saying that the restaurant is very cute and cozy! I like the brick wall and the caged lights hanging from the ceiling. It looks romantic.
I came here with my brother and boyfriend on a Friday night. We each ordered a cocktail. They don't have names for their cocktails btw. I tried the Vodka Pur, pineapple, lime topped with arugula. My bro had the Bourbon Bulleit cocktail with peach, seabuckthorn which is an orange-colored berry, and black tea. My boyfriend had the Romeo's Gin, cucumber, mint, and wasabi. The latter really didn't taste like wasabi which is a good thing for me because I don't really enjoy the strong taste of wasabi. We all enjoyed our drinks and tried each others. Mine was refreshing and very light... almost just tasted like pineapple juice. The bourbon bulleit cocktail reminded me my bourbon lemonades that I was making all summer.
We shared three starters: the mozzarella, the octopus, the terrine. The Mozzarella came with leek, Massawippi miso, panisse, jalapeño, kumquat (fruit similar to an orange). The Mozarella was good but piece of chees was pretty small. It wasn't spicy or sweet like you would think because of the jalapeno and kumquat. The grilled octopus, rugbrød (Danish style rye bread), gribiche sauce (mayo type cold egg sauce) , almond, radicchio, and vermouth Val Caudalie. The last starter was the quail, pork loin, snail, and savoy cabbage terrine. I was expecting a terrine that we would spread on bread but it was more like three circular terrine wrapped in a pastry. If I had to pick a favorite I would pick the octopus. In fact, these three starters were all very good and we expected the mains to be just as good if not better. The night started off strong! The drinks and starters were so good...
For mains my boyfriend ordered the duck with brussels sprouts, duck sausage, sweet potato, and mustard. My bro and I both ordered the venison with Jerusalem artichoke, leek, cocoa, and blackcurrant. The duck was ok but tasted to me like chinatown duck but he meat was thicker and chewy. The thinner part of the duck was cooked better and was tastier. The venison was a bit chewy and dry and not very flavorful.
Also the portions are small. I left disappointed and not very satisfied. We ended up going out for a drink at 4e mur afterwards and then hit up AA for poutine!
