Great new addition to Montreal food scene. Sitting somewhere between Maison Publique and Dominion Taverne in terms of quality, price and style this is hipster food at a price even the grungiest hipsters can afford. Nothing here is crazy high quality, but the enthusiasm and vibe of the place make up for it. We started with oysters (too big and too creamy and took way too long to get to us - hint, don't have your bartender also be the oyster shucker), but passable. The escargot was your standard buttery affair, but the quality seemed a little higher than most places, the snails big and toothsome and maybe even fresh? The fried quail was bland and boring coming off pretty much as a smashed and deep fried chicken wing. The coup de grace was the hotdog for two - a Lady and the Tramp style weiner big enough for a couple to share absolutely smothered in fried shallots and resting in a butter fried bun. Yum!
But, the one thing not to miss is their cream soda cocktail. It's tequila, campari, popcorn bitters and a splash of cream soda. Seriously the best cocktail I've had in a year!
