Projet Pilote
Verdict: Run
The truffle gnocchi is to die for; Celine says probably the best gnocchi she’s ever had… and that’s saying a lot - they shaved the black truffle right before your eyes.
Item: Gourmand Fries, Real Truffle Gnocchi, Smash Burger
Cost: $100 for 3x mains and 3x beers (beers about $8 per pint; gnocchi was $30, burger $17, gourmet fries $16)
Comments:
Bumping interior where you can see the distillery and brewery with the best Motown beats going on all night - we even noticed that they pumped the bass and reduced the mids and treble so it would be a nice conversational environment
The rest of the food was just ok (i.e. smash burger tasted like a slightly elevated Big Mac) so that takes the rating down a few decimal points for inconsistently amazing
Beers were tremendous - Jeremy loved the stout that was flavoured with cardamom spices
Services was overall very very good and we were lucky to get a spot at the bar seating on a busy Saturday evening
