Looking for review: La Palette
I've eaten there twice since it opened. In a word...fantastic! Great French bistro food at very fair prices and a fabulous selection of bottled Belgian beers including a number you can't buy at the LCBO. Also carry the only French beer available in Ontario from a great little micro named La Choulette (strong, amber biere de garde...also not available at the LCBO).

Ok, I checked out La Palette, and it is good stuff. They have pretty much every Belgian, French and Quebecois beer you can get in this province. I had a Sans Nom, which worked quite well with the crepe frite.
Those on a budget will be happy to note that there are some items on both the food and beer menus are quite respectably priced.
And an interesting note, their "mainstream" beer is Niagara Falls Millstone, which shows a bit of creativity I think.

Well, I went to La Palette today for brunch. I was most impressed. It is a fantastic little bistro, with a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and a cool decor. I had a crepe filled with apricots covered in a maple glaze - yummy. And to complement this, a delicious draught Blanche de Chambly.
The beer selection is very good. They have BDC and St. Ambroise Pale Ale on tap - and unlike the Esplande Bier Markt, the Blanche is served in 20oz. glasses. And as Josh mentioned, virtually all Quebec, Belgian and French bottled beer to come out recently is available.
It would be wise to make a reservation for dinner on a weekend night - during brunch I overheard the place was fully booked for the evening. I'll definitely be going back soon.

He wasn't the one who exhumed this thread. But he has me wondering...and maybe it's just a brain cramp...what other French micros are around these days? Is he referring to the remnants of the biere de garde order Joe took in last fall? Or is he referring to that delightful Boris? What am I missing?On 2004-03-10 16:31, rabbit wrote:

On the topic of Quebec micro's (yea I know, complete topic turn), is there a new micro in Quebec called,'Huit' or '8' or 'eight' or something like that? I just heard of a sizeable equipment purchase that would mean a fairly big start-up coming soon. Could be something new and interesting on the horizon.
