Still dreaming of this meal. My partner & I went to Mauvais Garçon for our anniversary & enjoyed the'Menu Experience' which was a 7 course meal of some incredible dishes. We ordered a few extra as well because we like to try things. A fancier version of comfort food - right up our alley. The service was also impeccable & the vibes were great.
Slide 1: Caesar Salad house dressing, parmesan chips, herbed croutons. 10/10 probably our fav of the night but it's hard to choose.
Slide 2: Burrata - basil-arugula hummus, roasted chickpeas, pomegranate, zaatar, confit tomato relish. Again 10/10. We inhaled this.
Slide 3: Beef tartare -'jerk' aioli, grilled scallion, plantain chips. I never tried beef tartare before & was nervous to because I don't typically eat a lot of red meat. I appreciated the flavours but Jason enjoyed this one a lot more. 8/10.
Slide 5: Popcorn chicken - garlic, maple & dijon glazed, carrot, cucumber, chipotle mayo. This was not part of the'Menu Experience' but we wanted to try it - 10/10. Incredible. Our eyes were rolling behind our head.
Slide 6: Fried Pierogi - potato, caramelized onions, cheddar, beer-braised cabbage, dill yogurt. 8/10. I really enjoyed this one but Jason felt there was too much dill (he's also not a huge dill fan where I am). Melt in your mouth delicious.
Slide 7: Chicken Sliders & Truffle Fries - buffalo fried chicken, slaw, ranch, chipotle mayo. 10/10 another favourite. Chicken melts in your mouth. I'm usually not big on buffalo but I really enjoyed this. The fries were amazing too.
Slide 8: Cookies & cream. Need I say more? 10/10.
They also have a vegetarian menu too fyi! Thanks Mauvais Garçons for a wonderful experience!!
Nous sommes venus souper pour la St-Valentin. L'ambiance est super, le service aussi & la nourriture encore +. Nous avons pris le menu expérience : mention spéciale au tartare de thon & aux gnocchis. Le tartare de boeuf semblait haché & non coupé au couteau, mais c'est bien le seul bémol.
Belle ambiance, bonne nourriture & excellent service. Le bartender Jonathan a su bien me conseiller dans ma sélection de cocktails & de vin. Moi & mes amis avons passez une excellente soirée.
L'espace est intime & chaleureux, créant une ambiance conviviale qui met immédiatement à l'aise. Le concept des menus dégustation en 6-7 services est parfaitement exécuté : chaque assiette arrive avec précision, créativité & une explosion de saveurs.
Les plats sont soigneusement présentés & démontrent une belle maîtrise des textures & des associations. On sent une cuisine réfléchie, moderne & pleine de caractère.
Le service est attentionné sans être intrusif, ce qui renforce l'expérience globale.
Une adresse idéale pour une soirée gastronomique dans un cadre cosy & authentique.
We had the valentines day fixed menu (with drinks) & everything was incredible.
Amazing for sharing & tasting a bit of everything.
So good ! We were so full.
Service was great.
Atmosphere was beautiful.
Cannot wait to come again
Food : le menu de 65$ n'est pas frais & pas bon , les tartares prêts de Costco même le thon était encore congelé 🥲. Trop de vinaigre & saucés extra salés que tu finis par te sentir incapable de continuer à manger des 1er plat (malgré que j'avais fin).
Service : le serveur se comportait bien mais a dû faire une erreur volontaire :) nous avons demandé un seul menu 65$ & d'autres plats pr la 2eme personne, on a demandé clairement si c'était possible & nous a confirmé oui & il a même résumé avant d'aller chercher la commande ok menu 65 x 1 fois & l'autre plat , à la fin il est venu nous dire que c'était 2 menus de 65 + plats…
Atmosphère : dark, music forte, pas assez d'espace , tables extra petites pour les plats
