| - The only downside to this place is the fried chicken: It doesn't come in buckets. Why?! WHY!! (It's *that* good!)
So, turns out the South-West's (Little Burgundy) newest bar is a-mazing.
The interior is divided in many different areas on 3 floors (3 bars), offering a wide-open-space (with bar, cocktail and banquettes-for-two seating) on the main, as well as a sexier, dim-lit (hello blind dates!), area on the second floor, and an intimate dim-lit bar on the lower level.
Hey girlfriend, if that's not enough to give you a ladyboner, know the interior design is by Braun-Braƫn - think Pullman, Big in Japan, Mangiafoco, Benelux...
The [experienced] staff is super nice and friendly, and chatty, and cute (read: hot) to boot.
The music is a mix of great (to my taste, ok!) tunes ranging from harder rock to pop to soul. A well crafted playlist. NB. The bar will also hosts DJ nights - Jordan Dare, DJ Cherry Cola and DJ Babi Audi are already regulars.
Now, back to the food.
Besides the crispy and oh-so-delicious fried chicken (which does not come in buckets!), I tried (on both occasions) the crab cake burger, the salmon gravlax salad and the roasted cauliflower (how couldn't I?! cauliflower is 2014's "new" hot veggie - bye bye kale!). Everything: delicious. FIlling. And consistent from one time to the other. Next time, I'll have to try the creamy polenta and the brownie with eggnog ice cream!
Plates are small, but big enough to share (we split the 4 between 2 people) and decently priced ($6 for both cauliflower and potato salad options - $16 for the sturgeon caviar).
Oh, Rufus, je t'aime!
This place gives me butterflies.
Can't wait to see how it'll grow on le Sud-Ouest!
