The server said it was tempura batter. It really wasn't tempura but it was tasty none the less. We split the 10 oz smoked meat sandwich platter ($15) which came with fries, cole slaw in a vinaigrette and dill pickle. The meat was hand cut and delicious! Nicely flavoured and pretty lean. Rye bread was fresh. They added yellow mustard instead of letting us do it ourselves. (My partner is not a fan.) We also split an entré sized Caesar salad. ($7) Romain could have been a little smaller. Croutons were fresh. Cheese was lovely. Real bacon bits. Presentation was very nice. Friendly atmosphere. Obviously full of locals. Very clean and bright. Recently renovated. Kitschy tavern style chairs and tables. Menu is limited. Smoked meat, spaghetti, nachos, poutine, pizza (all come with smoked meat on top) and wings. For this type of restaurant it was ideal. Another note about the service, I mentioned above that we split the smoked meat platter; it was served split into two baskets without being asked. A very nice touch.

Everything was good, EVERYTHING. do not hesitate to try this restaurant. It's a bring your own wine/beer + the owner/chef is so sweet.

The food was so good that we ordered an additional pasta to our tasting menu and thank god we did - that was possibly the star of them all: perfectly cooked, with a perfect combination of pancetta and tiny shrimps. Just when we thought we couldn't be blown away anymore, we were served an absolutely sensational dessert. I don't like lemon merengue, but that lemon merengue was the perfect combination of tartness and sweetness that I can't even describe. The service was wonderful and the back patio is a really nice setting. I still am in shock from this meal over a week later.

Started with lattes, mine was a dirty chai (chai with a shot of espresso). Never had that before, interesting combo, but not for purists :) We each had the crèpes salées, savoury crepes filled with asparagus, cheese and ham, with hollandaise. Oh the ham was so good, big pieces and wonderfully textured. We each added a poached egg, because why not. Potatoes and a small fruit cup also on the plate. A maple butter for the fruit was absolutely amazing, but no way to eat all of it and I felt bad for the wastage of something so delicious. Would return yo try a grilled cheese sandwich, of which there are so many to choose from and seemed a hot item coming out of the kitchen. Service had zero flaws and was quick and efficient. About $30 each on the bill with tip, a very satisfying experience.

This diner certainly had a…read moreFrench-Canadian feel to it with smoked meat sandwiches etc. I ordered a small spaghetti (love that they had 2 sizes) and a small Caesar salad. The salad had a little more going on than a typical US diner Caesar salad. Instead of a flaked Parmesan style cheese they used a softer grated cheese plus there were good sized pieces of bacon or chewy pork in the salad. It was very interesting and flavorful. The spaghetti was good, served quickly and nice and hot. The sauce seemed like a bolognese style minus any dairy. I say that because it had finely minced carrots and celery (I think) in it which I've seen in recipes for bolognese but don't typically see in home or commercially prepared spaghetti sauces in the US. I would have appreciated some grated cheese on top of it or available to add myself but none was offered and I opted not to ask. Overall I think this is a good example of a mid-level cafe type eatery. Not fine dining but not a greasy spoon either.
