épicerie

When you think of a neighborhood place, this is it. It’s tucked away in the Rosedale community. Parking is sparse but once you overcome that, you walk into a Paris-like atmosphere. Quaint, quiet, small, bright, chic. I really love the vibe. The drinks were great. I got a coffee rum drink that was surprisingly clear (!!) and a vieux carre. They cost $18 each which is high. The food is also delicious but it’s pricey. The only complaint I have is that the biscuits came out very dark. While it was edible, I would’ve preferred if the waitstaff didn’t serve it and got another batch. We ate the entire plate of biscuits but the outside was slightly too crunchy. The pastry case is beautiful. It was definitely fun to go with my girlfriends ; I’ll have to try it with the family but maybe it’s too nic

Food: We ordered the trout tartare, French onion soup, fried shrimp po boy, and burger and frites for roughly $100. -The trout was placed on delightful cracker with a generous serving of trout roe. It was rich with bursts of salt from the roe. I would just have added a bit of acid to round out the dish. -The French onion soup had excellent flavor and the bread and cheese were perfectly baked on top of the soup. Exactly what you imagine when you think of a perfect French onion. -The fried shrimp po boy has excellent. The breading was delicious, and the sauce took it over the top. -the burger and frites was the only thing that I felt was truly lacking. It was just a bit too simple for me for 20. Maybe I’m being a bit too harsh though as I had previously had the best burger in my life whi

I truly enjoyed the beef tartare and the café ole cocktail, however my partner ordered steak frites which took a very long time and it arrived cold. When I said something about it, it took an even longer time for it to arrive. Only for it to be microwaved... or at least taste that way. Service was excellent. However, I am extremely disappointed that I had to pay $55 for my food to arrive cold and microwaved. Which is why I am giving only three stars.

I had the steak frites which was 55 bucks, I believe among the most expensive item on the dinner menu? The steak was indeed very tender and the sauce and bone marrow butter was very flavorful, however most of the plate was the fries. The fries were straight up not good. They taste like it's straight from Sysco, not even like rally's/checker's tier of frozen fries. Just boring straight cut fries that were only seasoned with salt. I would honestly take fresh McDonald's fries over the fries on the steak frites anytime of the day.For 55 bucks, I had hoped that the fries would have been triple cooked or something, and tossed in some proper seasoning. The ham and cheese croissant that I got was excellent though, even without heating it up, it had excellent crunch and the sesame seeds added a v

I got the shrimp po boy. I thought it tasted good and it was one the items that I think is worth the price given the portion size. My friends also got the pear and blue cheese pastry and the pastrami sandwich. The pear pastry was really good and the pastrami sandwich was a good size as well. $28 for a quiche is kind of much for the portion.
