This place has been on the top of my list to try out and I got the chance recently to try the ever so hyped restaurant in the country (I think they were voted one of the top best new restaurants in Canada). After reading a lot of the reviews I thought the meats would be really really gamey but I didn't find that at all. Their menu was pretty short and simple which made it easy with the options...we tried the following:
Horse Meat
Tongue Brioche
Large Charcuterie
Lamb Belly
All were excellent, the Charcuterie seem to be the norm on the night I had went and it was a great way to sample a great variety of meats and pate. The lamb belly was excellent as it was very flavorful. The horse meat I found just ok, they make it in a style like a tartar so it was very hard to distinguish the actual taste of horse meat. The Tongue brioche was by far the best, you would expect tongue to be tough and gamey but it was very soft and succulent. Almost reminded us of really fatty Montreal smoked meat.
Overall the experience was worth it, it's not a place I would go every week but a place I would hit up every now and then to get my taste buds going. I will definitely be back to try the brunch at Hoof Cafe.
