| - I tried the first Tartar of my life here. And it was HORSE Tartar!!!! Before I came to Black Hoof, I didn't even know horses are eatable. I mean, they are so adorable!! I felt a little bit bad for horses, but I also have to admit it was the best tartar I every tried until now, much better than beef tartar or duck tartar. The horse tartar was well-seasoned, extremely fresh, and I felt like it just melt between my teeth when I chewed it.
This place is extremely popular in Toronto and it seems alway packed. Thanks to one of my friends who just hang out in Downtown Toronto the whole afternoon, we got a very tiny table around 6:30. Remember, this place doesn't take reservation at all. And it only has couple tables available . A lot of people were just waiting outside on the street for a quite long time when I was eating. Therefore, if you want to get a table, better make sure you get here as early as possible. First come, first served. Also I don't think it is not a good place for a large group of people.
I also tried another dish call "Fried Sweetbreads". To be honest, I had no idea what Sweetbreads was, not to mention eating it. At first, my friend told me it was just fried chicken ball, and, call me naive, I actually believe them!! I tried it out, and it didn't taste like chicken a little bit. The texture was much softer than chicken. I had to use google to find out what "sweetbreads" was, and after seeing all the pictures of raw sweetbreads, I lost my gut to try another piece. Don't take me wrong, the Fried Sweetbreads from Black Hoof was delicious and impressively yummy. I strongly suggest everyone to give it a try at least once in your life.
My experience in Black Hoof is "exciting", and I don't think there are many restaurants that are able to make me feel excited the way Black Hoof does.
