There's a few things that are necessary in life to make a cold winter bearable. A well-made wool sweater is one, hot beverages is another, but one that always hits the spot is comfort food.
Located on St. Denis, Mache serves up Pate Chinois (Quebecois version of Shepherds Pie), Poutine, and other local comfort food.
I tried the "New Style" pate, mainly to see how pulled pork faired in this fashion. I must say, it's quite good. The portions were spot on, the pulled pork wasn't over done or dry. I liked how there were leeks in there, to add a bit of different texture in the pate. I think something like celery or even diced carrots would be a welcome addition...something crunchy would've sent this dish to almost perfection.
I'll have to come back to try some of the other interesting fare they have here.
Highly recommend this place!
