| - Living in Kensington Market, La Palette was a little slice of Europe in my backyard. Now it's moved to Queen St W, the quality of the food has suffered.
Admittedly, it was an extremely busy Sunday night of a long weekend. The tables were full so my husband and I sat at the bar. Service was super friendly, and as quick as can be expected when the restaurant is maxed out.
We ordered the green salad to share. It was lackluster and skimpy. The two pieces of bread that came to the table were burnt on both sides.
My husband ordered the duck confit (his favourite dish). He said it was okay but a little dry. The spaetzel was watery and not very flavourful.
I ordered the wild boar dish. The smoked pork belly roll was amazing. However, the striploin of boar was dry and tasteless and required too much bland chewing to enjoy. Also, the potato salad was just ok.
When speaking with the bar man (owner?) he said the weekends were super busy now that they had moved but that during the week they had time to really spoilt their guests. That may be, but when I'm spending over $100 on a meal for two, I don't want excuses, and my experience of your restaurant is based on right now, not a promise for next time.
Overall, this was a disappointment and we won't be going back or recommending to anyone.
