rev:text	I try not to set my expectations too high when I hear about a restaurant that is generating lots of buzz for fear that it won't live up to the hype. That being said sometimes I just can't help getting excited. That was the case most recently with Hoogan and Beaufort, a restaurant that had long been on my list of places to try. Hoogan and Beaufort is located in the old Angus Yards. If you are driving there is plenty of parking available on the street and it is all free. If you are coming by transit then your best bet is to go to Prefontaine metro and walk up. There might also be a bus that goes north from the metro but you'll have to check that. The interior is beautiful with its high ceilings and exposed beams. The design can best be described as industrial. They have an open kitchen so you can see the everything that is going on while they prepare your food. If you are only two you might want to consider sitting at the bar which looks directly onto the kitchen so you can see the cooks working their magic. At this restaurant the menu is small and focused. They are one of those places that likes to prepare a few dishes very well. The main appeal of the menu offerings is that lots of the food is cooked over an open fire so that imparts a smoky flavour to it. In fact you can smell that fire going from the moment you walk in. It lets you know that you are in for a treat! We started with burnt focaccia which was delicious. As you can imagine it has a charred taste to it and the focaccia itself was wonderfully fresh and almost delicate in texture. We also split some appetizers of grilled mushrooms and grilled squid. The squid's texture was perfect and there were rice chips with it that added a nice crunch. The mushrooms had a smoky flavour from being grilled. I followed this up with strozzapretti with chorizo and squid. The chorizo was spiced perfectly and the pasta was freshly made so it was very delicious. There didn't seem to be much squid but I did enjoy the meal as a whole. I finished that off with a panna cotta with short bread and mango sorbet. This was the climax to a wonderful meal. The short bread was flaky and buttery while the panna cotta had excellent texture and taste. They had used real vanilla beans to flavour it instead of extract and that definitely made a difference. Every dish's plating was absolutely gorgeous. The service was the one downside for me. We had a bit of a wait at times between courses or when we wanted to place an order. While the waiters were friendly enough they definitely could have been faster. It wasn't the worst service that I have experienced but it definitely wasn't one of the better ones either. When it comes to prices I found that the appetizers and desserts were a little expensive given their size. The mains were more fairly priced though. That being said when you want to treat yourself or celebrate a big occasion the splurge is worth it because the quality of the dishes was very high. It has been a long time since I enjoyed a restaurant meal as much as I enjoyed the one I had at Hoogan and Beaufort. It definitely deserves all the hype that it gets and is definitely worth the visit.
