| - I made a reservation for Chabrol two weeks in advance, but when we actually arrived there were still a few seats left at the bar. The atmosphere is lively and incredibly loud, so you end up shouting for your friend to hear you.
The restaurant is quite small and the kitchen is even smaller. You can see it from the bar, and it's literally one chef busily making delicious dishes. If you want to use the washroom it's downstairs.
My sister and I split the appetizer (pork liver mousse, quite yummy) and the dessert (the famous apple tart!). For the dessert they pour the fluffy cream over the tart right in front of your eyes. We got the lamb and the duck, both of which comes with bread to soak up the sauce. We ended up packing them to go because the portion was quite large.
I'm giving Chabrol a really high rating because their service is so friendly and wonderful! Their staff is chatty, always smiling, and attentive to your needs. I dropped by on my birthday and they gave me dessert with a little candle on top.
Usually after your meal the restaurant will serve you a mint or a candy, and at Chabrol they gave handmade lemon... cookies? I'm not sure how to describe them. As well, the waiters were very generous with the lemon cookies! If you wanted extras they will gladly give you more.
It's a lovely restaurant with great staff, pretty good food, but it's a tad noisy. I might drop by for a special occasion again.
