The tataki tuna tacos are out of this world. Sooooo good, I will go back just for that. It's a nice place, nice ambiance, the owner so nice & friendly.
Popped in for a family brunch. Chose the place for the decent rating & being failry expensive according to Google ($$$) & we wanted to take no chances. Service was a bit slow at starters, but we weren't neglected. Place does not scream child friendly, but our 4yo got fixed a juice & plain fries, which she enjoyed. We had beef & tuna tartares from the brunch menu. Portions were smallish, but we expected that, paired with some parm-truffle fries it actually was perfect. The two cocktails we ordered were also quite good. We sat inside & the ambiance was great, comfy chairs, nice plates & themed decor.

Food is good, my favorite was the tuna & burrata. The tasting menu is overpriced for what it is. Better to get the dishes individually. The music is obnoxiously loud & the TV playing movies distracts from the decor.
Délicieux. Excellent service. Brunch dimanche: nous avons pris oeufs, tater tots, bacon, frites, café & crêpes bleuets citron. Les plats manquent un peu de couleurs, quelques fruits ou légumes colorés feraient toute la différence.
Mauvais Garçon was such a great surprise! Émile, our server, was incredibly helpful & made our experience even better. Everything was delicious - from the beer to the plates. The restaurant follows a tapas-style concept, with dishes meant to be shared, & the ones we've ordered were amazing. Make sure to get the Brussels sprouts & the fried chicken sliders!
It was just a quick stop to pass the time, but I honestly can't wait to go back!
La nourriture est vraiment excellente, nous avons pris le tartare de thon, de boeuf, la burrata, les taters tots, la salade cesar & les tacos de thon, franchement la nourriture vaut le detour. Par contre le serveur 0/20, ne nous a pas expliqué qu'il s'agissait de tartare a partager, n'a proposé ni dessert ni café, & ne s'est pas excusé quand l'un des verre a explosé dans la main de l'une d'entre nous (après l'avoir apporté deja félé sur la table), & n'a pas offert de pansement. Nous avons du l'appeler a plusieurs reprises pour qu'il vienne a notre table alors qu'il y avait seulement 2 tables dans le restaurant.
Bref, allez y pour la nourriture excellente, mais pas pour le serveur du midi
Nous avons pris les choux de bruxelle, le poulet frit, la burrata, le tartare de thon, la crème brûlée, le haze, le oaxala. Tout etait de-li-cieux. Excellent service & ambiance agréable.
Super soirée chez Mauvais Garçons !
Ambiance chaleureuse, service au top & des plats à tomber (gros crush sur le tartare de boeuf & les arancinis). Le menu dégustation vaut vraiment le détour.
