Full Dinner Report from Le Cellier.
Beef and Barley Soup - rich beef broth and fresh vegetables $5.99
Verdict: Very light and tasty according to DF's dad.
Beefsteak Tomato Stack - with caramelized onions, marinated mozzarella and yuzu vinaigrette $7.99
Verdict: Caused some suprise when it turned up as DF's mum was expecting something tiny which this is anything but! She thought it was really tasty.
Spicy Chicken and Chipotle Sausage - with creamy polenta and sweet onion jam $8.99
Verdict: DF got these but found he couldn't finish them as they were too spicy for him. He does have a very sensetive pallate but I thought they were very hot when I tried a bite too, not sure if they were supposed to be like that. Not the best unless you like hot food.
Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup - smoked bacon and Moosehead beer $5.49
Verdict: The DIS classic, I couldn't eat at Le Cellier without trying it! I thought it was delicious, nothing like what I'd expected. A lovely warm, frothy consistency, I imagine it would be even better on a cold winter day. Not too cheesy either.
7 oz. Filet Mignon - with roasted Yukon gold potatoes $27.99
Verdict: This was DF's option as he doesn't like cheesy mash, yes it's well done - I apologise (his dad was the same - poor waitress almost fainted!) He loved it.
7 oz. Filet Mignon - glazed with maple barbecue sauce and accompanied by cream cheese mashed potatoes $27.99
My Verdict: This was mine, medium without the BBQ sauce as I wanted the full flavour of the steak. It was the best steak I have ever had and certainly earned Le Cellier it's high DIS reputation in my eyes. We will be coming back here on honeymoon next year and I will certainly be ordering this again. DF's dad enjoyed his incinerated one too.
Seared Free Range Chicken - over sweet corn pudding and roasted fall vegetables finished with mushroom broth $19.99
Verdict: DF's mum ordered this as she doesn't eat red meat. Despite picking over the "weird stuff" under the chicken for a while, she eventually decided it was one of the best chickens she's had.
Chocolate Moose $4.99
Verdict: Despite being on the dining plan, this was the only dessert we ordered as we had a birthday cake for DF's mum coming this night. We just had to have one though as we'd seen it go to another table and DF's dad wanted a close up look! It was very tasty indeed and came home with the cake to live in our BCV fridge for the rest of the week.
Cake pics will be on the cake thread tonight.
