  • Very groovy place that I haven't been to in years and I'm not sure why. I work nearby and even though there are plenty of options in the Harbourfront / Esplanade / Union Station area, a lot of them are either fairly pedestrian or don't really cater to the vegetarian in the crowd (i.e. me). Okay, I guess that's not really fair...there are a lot of good places, I'm just picky (and a vegetarian). Plus I was taking a friend out for dinner after work to ask him to be in my wedding party so I wanted to impress at least a little bit. He's more hip than I am (at least when it comes to food) so that meant no Jack Astor's, no Fionn MacCool's and no to any of the places that severely limit my dining options. So C'est What? is what (what?) I settled on! They had a bouncer dude (which can always be a little off putting, I won't lie) but he was friendly and kindly told me that I should go inside to wait for my buddy rather than loiter outside, seeing as they were having a beer tasting that night and it would very soon be packed! I haven't even stepped inside and I'm already liking this place! After thinking about it though for a minute we didn't even end up technically doing the tasting thing...it's just too complicated. You have buy tickets and then you trade the ticket (or two or three depending on the beer) for a little mini cup and then you keep track of which ones you like and rate them...you get the point (or not). This is getting to be too much work and will surely cut into our drinking time. So how's about just getting half pints of whatever looks cool and going from there? Sounds good to me. So after perusing the incredibly impressive beer menu we decided to basically stick with cask ales and go with as many as we could. Most were winners, some were disappointments and I'll be damned if I can remember what was good and what wasn't. I took a blurry photo of the list but I probably should have done so AFTER we marked it up with our ratings. Oh well. At any rate most of them aren't on their regular beer menu, although they do have an impressive regular list as well as rotating taps. And they're all Canadian and mostly local. Very cool. Of course I've now completely forgotten to mention the food that initially drew me here but then again a good selection of beer tends to do that. I went with the Adobo Black Bean Burger and it was quite good. Not your standard soy, meat analogue veggie burger and also not loaded with mushrooms (for which I was thankful). Very tasty and not at all dry. My friend had the Buffalo Burger (he approved) and both the regular and sweet potato fries were very yummy. Service was fine despite the busy night and they were even good enough to secure my attaché case that I had half-drunkenly left behind. I guess my one minor knock is that our server wasn't super knowledgeable about the beer list but I'll chalk this up to the fact that a lot of them weren't typically on the menu. So must definitely come back to C'est What? and will probably make it my go-to place for after work beer and grub. Too bad they can't have a beer tasting every day!
