| - I came here with a few friends for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm not a huge meat eater, and organs, innards and other such delicacies are not normally my thing. However that day I decided to be open to experimentation and was pleasantly surprised.
Our first serving was the Horse Tartare. It was a good dish to start and not what I expected raw horse to taste like. It was like sashimi but meatier.
Then came the Bone Marrow. We had high expectations for this one, but it was nothing special in my opinion. Though, this was a fun part of the evening. The bone was heavy and had souvenir value so my friend asked to take it home... not an unusual request it seemed when the waiter was ready and eager to have it 'wrapped up' ; )
Third came the Tongue on Brioche. This was one of my favourites. The shredded tongue pieces were tender and flavourful, the brioche was nice and buttery and the mustard sauce and sweet pickles were a perfect compliment to the dish. I would have liked to have this dish to myself.
Fourth we were served the Liver and Onions. This was an interesting take on liver and onion and worked together nicely. The onions were extra sweet and came with a green sauce--- not sure what it was but it was good--- on the side. I was also happy to receive a more substantial portion of food after having had multiple dishes that were tiny in size.
Fifth we had the Cotechino and Smoked Sweetbreads. This was the one dish I was very hesitant to try... eating pancreas just didn't seem right at first : / ...However, this was the biggest surprise of the night when I found myself enjoying the sausage style sweetbreads and took multiple helpings.
Sixth we had the Chicken Fried Quail. This dish was basically fried chicken done right. It was tasty, as fried chicken done right normally is, but it was too small and regular fare to stand out to me much.
Sixth we had the Baby Octo Salad. This one was a bit of a disappointment. The octopus was too chewy when it should have been more tender and it was lacking in flavour.
Finally we had 'The Dessert.' This was essentially apple cobbler with salty ice cream. This dish grew on me. At first I remember craving for the ice cream to be sweeter, but with subsequent spoonfuls I came to enjoy the saltiness, it somehow worked.
All in all this was a very interesting and fun experience. I will be back for the brioche and the liver and onions. We missed it this time around, but next time we will also definitely get the Foie-Berry Shortcake, sounds uniquely yummy! ; ))
