I came and swooned and consumed and thought How Beautiful and Comfortable! And how Chalereux the service! So easy going, smart and comfortable! Such a beautiful well-appointed cozy room painted a warm green with bright white moldings like you find in all our old apartments here, and thick vintage wooden tables and buffets.
And the food. The food. The food. The PEI and Nove Scotia oysters were so sweet and fresh and amazing and the mignonette was classic and perfect. The grilled buttery halloumi is my new favourite food and I loved the beet salad with goat cheese as well. The quail was very tasty but warning for the vegetarians and the faint of heart, this comes with claws and face. Freaked me, for one.
I loved the dry Greek white wine our charming waiter suggested and just the whole smart easy going feeling here. And the beautiful cheese cart that puts all dessert carts to shame in my heart with its gooey savoury goodness pushed me over the edge to 5 stars. I'll be back for sure, beautiful new option in the neighbourhood for dining with wise friends and loved ones. Apps were around $12, mains around $25, wine and cocktails in the $10-$15 range.
