I went to La Palette recently with my favourite guy for a late dinner. We asked to be seated in the row of seats facing out the front window. I like the vibe here - it's cozy.
For appetizers, we ordered the fried camembert and the escargots - both were good.
For the main course, I ordered the horse tenderloin and my date ordered the chicken. The horse was flavourful and more tender than I expected horse meat to be. The chicken was interesting because the breast and the thigh were cooked differently - the (exceptionally moist) breast was roasted while the thigh was deep-fried and both were seasoned differently.
For dessert, we ordered the chocolate mousse and the creme brûlée. The chocolate mousse was very light but not chocolatey enough for my tastes. The creme brûlée came as three mini creme brûlées: vanilla, chocolate and lavender & honey. I like the lavender one the best.
I would go back for the chicken dish and the lavender & honey-flavoured creme brûlée.
Note to management: please don't pile the garbage on the sidewalk right in front of the restaurant. For those of us who were sitting at your window seats, looking out at garbage wasn't the most pleasant view.
