Oh my goodness. Beer Bistro is like an upscale Sunset Bar and Grill (for those of you that don't know, it's a restaurant in good ol' Boston that has a million different beers). Located directly across from our hotel (King Edward) how could we NOT go?
Started off with the Belgian frites with house made mayo and smoked tomato ketchup. Oh.My.Goodness. They were delicious!!! A little on the salty side but I couldn't stop shoving them in my mouth.
Joe and I decided to share entrees instead of getting our own. So we ordered the following:
Cheese Nacho Mussels - Yes you heard right, instead of using chips for nachos, mussels are substituted. Oh man was it good. Every mussel bowl is cooked in beer broth and they have about 7 different options. I had never experienced mussels quite in that way before, but I really enjoyed it.
Duck Confit pizza - OH YES. Made with Oatmeal Stout to create a beautiful crust, served with goat cheese, thyme, caramelized onions and sliced potatoes I'm contemplating taking the next flight to Toronto JUST to have this pizza again. Everything about this pizza was magnificent. I LOVE duck confit and I LOVE goat cheese so when I saw they had this on the menu, it wasn't even a QUESTION that we had to order it.
The entire menu looks delicious and I seriously wanted to order everything on the menu. For my drink I got a Strawberry beer and it was really good.
The atmosphere is really sleek and there is even an outdoor patio which is nice. Our waitress was nice however kind of slow. But I didn't mind too much considering our hotel was right across the street.
I would come back in a heartbeat the next time I'm in Toronto. It will take a lot for me to try something besides the Duck Confit pizza though...
