It's meatloaf delivered by the hands of God. I think it had lamb in it but I can't tell. The loaf is covered with a mild curry and sweet mustard sauce with fine herbs giving it a gustatorily orgasmic bouquet and then covered with cheese. It took a while to get my plate because you can only fit so many dishes in the salamander oven that gives that unforgiving trait that all au gratin dishes have... pure ecstasy. It was served with a purée of potatoes and carrots with a side of green salad with a light touch of oil and vinegar. Just take a look at this and try to hold back the drool.

So the sandwiches looked great. They have a one-item menu every day; the desserts looked fantastic. They have wine for the wine-lovers and pig-out-frenzy-worthy deserts. All for a not cheap but not too expensive average price of $15(Can) per meal. But what a meal and what an ambience with its metal, its damaged concrete and aged wood foundry from the late 19th century or early 20th century. The only complaint — and this is a minor one — is the chairs. To keep the metallic and wood feel they have these grey metal stools, which are the same ones I had in art classes, that are a tad uncomfortable. But who cares with food so good and such an environment? And it only adds to its cachet.
