Suk: 4/5
Not sure what stars were aligning on our last visit to Montreal but we were able to get into both of our first picks by calling day of.
Friday = Joe Beef
Joe Beef = Everything you have heard and more
Everything you have heard and more = gluttony without apology.
Our last minute reso's meant we were seated at the bar. This may be a negative to some but for us was a big bonus as bar seating tends to be our preference.
I forget our bartenders name but he was fantasticly fantastic. Due to our bar seating, it was difficult to read the menu (regardless of it being in French) so rather than strain our necks and our memories of high school French, we had a conversation with the bar man about what we like/don't like.
What resulted was a meal we will never forget Ever
Oysters, yum.
Pigs Head, what? Redonculous amazing - if it is on the menu when you are there, do yourself a favour and eat it regardless of squeamishness. I thought I would have a hard time with it and didn't. It was one of the best things I have ever consumed. Ever. Like ever.
Beef tongue, what? For us, this was too much of a literal presentation as it was presented as it had existed. A large tongue presented on a plate. Visually, there was no denying we were about to eat a cow tongue. We had told our barman we would be okay with it so we felt completed to eat it. Essentially, it tasted like a dense beef hot dog so it wasn't terrible but it was just way too big of a portion for two people to finish. Perhaps this was amplified by the fact that a 1/4 of the way through I realized I was using my tongue to eat and taste the the equivalent of another animal. I am not going to lie, there was an element of gag. Maybe a little too "farm to table" for my enjoyment but that is my hypocrisy, not Joe Beefs.
Veg time!!!! Pastrami carrots. Delicate thin carrot slices marinated in pastrami spices. Yes please. Every single day, yes please.
Foie gras. This is where the unapologetic gluttony becomes a CAPITAL statement. This is also where Suk deviated from the best meal of his life to get me the f out of here. So perfect and rich. Our barman doubled up our portion of the foie and although it was so delicious, it was too ample and rich for us to end our meal with (says Suk)
Our experience at Joe Beef was fantastic, from the service to the atmosphere to the food. It is rare restaurants with this type of notoriety deliver on their promise. Joe Beef killed it Thank you.
