It looks like a nice restaurant. Is it a place where you can just grab a pint, or is it a place where you're kind of expected to order a full meal?Belgian wrote:Rogue 7 Hop on draught at La Palette, extremely nice place to chill, drink and ppl watch.

I'm gonna make an effort to get over there soon. How's the food, BTW?Belgian wrote:Rogue 7 Hop on draught at La Palette, extremely nice place to chill, drink and ppl watch.
Didn't eat there yet, though the menu looks impressive. Yelp reviews are not consistently positive for every dish, but I might get a small bite there for fun. Draught lines were pristine! I would at least tip nicely if only having beer and not bison tenderloin. They do a Prix Fixe too...napoleon wrote:It looks like a nice restaurant.

Infamous for the horse steak you mean. Orval is supposedly a good pairing!Craig wrote:La Palette, formerly of Kensington Market and now of Queen West, is a place I would go for a good meal. They're famous in Toronto foodie circles for being the place to go in town for a good horse steak.
I haven't tried it personally to say if it's famous or infamous. I've heard it's quite delicious though. One of those things I've been meaning to try for like 5 years now, but never seem to get around to it.Belgian wrote:Infamous for the horse steak you mean.

The steak frites looks enticing. Tenderloin isn't my thing unless you do something more than grill it (I recommend it seared rare and served with shallots, port wine deglaze and cream - basic French way.)
By infamous I mean it was in the news, protesters outside there being a real pain in the top round. I guess anything you do in Toronto outside the usual will attract a fringe response.Craig wrote:I haven't tried (the horse steak) personally to say if it's famous or infamous.
Having been regularly exposed to the Royal which clearly illustrates the relationship between horse flesh and wealth, I have often made the observation that since the demise of the horse as the primary means of transport and its diminished role in gaming, the beast really only serves two roles in North American society:Craig wrote:They're famous in Toronto foodie circles for being the place to go in town for a good horse steak.
Are those bottles of Yakima still running $20+ in local bars?cratez wrote:Le Castor Yakima IPA (bottle)
It was $16 at Thirsty tax in, and we split it among four people, so not too bad.skootles wrote:Are those bottles of Yakima still running $20+ in local bars? Sigh, should have just checked an extra bag the last time I was in QC, bottles were $6.99.cratez wrote:Le Castor Yakima IPA (bottle)
