Last night I died and went to "WTF are you eating heaven"! Seriously Fear factor has nothing on Black Hoof's exotic menu, and despite being scared shitless I had complete faith in my fellow Yelpers... man am I ever glad I did!
Lets start with the arrival. After reading horror stories of hour long waits for this place, hubby and I decided to be at BH right as they opened for dinner. This proved to be a smart idea as we were immediately seated.
Our waitress was great: friendly knowledgeable and generally a pleasure.
I guess you could say the decor is "minimalistic barn chic". Lots of untreated wood and unpolished sheet-metal help give the place a very no frills and almost masculine appearance... we are after all about to eat "Noah's Ark" worth of meat!
The menu had no veggies in sight, which is good news for me, bad news for my arteries! We started with a small charcuterie and the roasted bone marrow, both were amazing! I hate liver, even in fancy spread formats and yet here I was devouring their incredible Duck Liver Mousse Pate.
The roasted bone marrow freaked me out a bit at first but one bite of my bread with this jelly wonder (and a bit of salt) and I wondered is all marrow was this good!
Last but not least, hubby and I ordered the raw horse meat sandwich with hot sauce. This was by far my favourite part of the meal! The horse meat was tender and the flavour was beautifully intense.
As everyone has already mentioned, they only take cash and debit here and most starters and main dishes run between $15-$25. Definitely worth the money!
