First off, La Mere has opened a NEW location on Highway 7 in Richmond Hill - congratulations!
I've been back a many times at this Scarborough location, and they are always busy - even on a random Tuesday night this week! Again, recommended for small groups of 2-6 ppl. Unfortunately, they don't take any large group reservations :(
They now have a new fancy menu with colourful photos, and still offering the same food items (I prefer the old menu design better, mainly because I memorized where all the items are lol!)
I'm still very happy with their food (service.... not so much but I don't blame the woman, she is working her butt off by herself! She is very quick on her feet.) I would highly recommend the following:
1. Marinated pork bones - MUST order!!
2. Marinated pig stomach with cilantro - *spicy*
3. Shredded potato salad - very crunchy
4. Stuffed beef/pork/lamb meat pancake
5. Spicy lamb meat on toothpicks
6. Sweet potato balls with red bean paste filling
7. Glutinous rice balls in sweet light wine soup
One more thing to note: I never really liked their noodle soup dishes... tried it a few times. I like the fact that the noodles are chewy (+1) but the soup base is very off for me. Maybe that is how it should taste like (?) but I'm not a fan, sorry! Everything else on the menu is delicious! Definitely a place I will frequent often :) Keep up the great work!
