Came across this place by chance and thought the idea of aboriginal Canadian food sounded so interesting. We came on a weekday night and the place was actually quite empty. In short the food was delicious, one star off for the price and the cocktail which was pretty mediocre.
Foie gras: I do like foie gras but only in small amounts because it is so rich. The foie gras here actually came in a pretty big size and I must say it was executed perfectly, smooth and creamy and flavorful. However we still had a bit leftover because it was too rich. The crisps also paired beautifully.
Whelk: My mom and I both agreed that the whelk itself was a bit bland. Even though the texture of the whelk itself was great, juicy and fresh, I don't think the beurre blanc paired well because as something without a lot of intrinsic flavor, the whelk definitely needed a more flavorful sauce.
Duck: The duck was beautifully cooked, moist and juicy.
Mushroom salad: Also very good and the hazelnut crisps and green pea puree(I think?) also paired really well with the mushrooms. The mushrooms themselves were a tad bit oily but I think the oil is what also gave them great flavor.
Chocolate tart: I really enjoyed this tart! In particular the chocolate filling was warm and melted and the meringue topped with hibiscus powder was really unexpectedly good.
Drinks: mom had a glass of red wine which tasted fine. I ordered the urban green space cocktail but to be honest did not enjoy it very much. But to be fair, drinks are a really personal thing so I won't be too harsh on them.
