| - Situated in a trendy neighbourhood and a stone's throw away from the much celebrated ice cream shop Bilboquet, this is a perfect spot for summertime lunch on the terrace. Even when braving the cold winter months, this restaurant offers a good selection of comfort food and the interior decor is quite chic and inviting.
I'd recommend the gazpacho and one of the tartare plates. The portion sizes are good for such rich cuisine. If you're feeling spunkier, why not try the delicious mini chorizo pogos? They're bite-sized wonders that shouldn't be passed up! The beet salad is quite filling and offers an unexpected bite...think beets, pecans, greens, grapes and delicious goat cheese, with great presentation. Though it may not be as innovative as the other dishes, another stand-by is the macaroni and cheese, which is decently good, but not the best I've ever had (try the pulled porc mac n cheese with truffle chips from Mbrgr for a foodgasmic experience).
The reason this restaurant gets a 3/5 rather than a 4 is because the food is pretty good, but isn't, in the words of Russell Peters, "mind blasting." It's a cute spot to go hang out in the summer time if you're in the area, but nothing to write home about, except for maybe the pogos, which I wish would come in regular size :)
