Hoogan et Beaufort

“the plating is literally instagram gold - duck breast fanned over roasted root veggies with micro-greens adding color, even the sauce got drizzled with care. it looks amazing”

“the lighting is so dim in the dining room that even my phone's night mode was working overtime just to get a photo”

“getting a table at 9 on saturday felt like winning the lottery honestly - the place stays energetic all night and the kitchen is consistent even during the late rush on Molson Street”

“the cocktail menu changes way too much - the drink i loved last month is gone adn theres no similar option when i came back”

“the sauces at Hoogan et Beaufort are seriously impressive - thier beurre blanc is perfectly balanced with the right amount of acid and richness, like really silky and technically skilled”

“the vegetables were definitely overcooked - the asparagus had no crunch adn the carrots turned to mush which honestly shouldnt happen at this level haha”

“the bar area is spacious and actually comfortable if you're eating solo, and you can see right into the open kitchen from thier. the bartender knew his stuff about food AND wine pairings”

“seriously tehy forgotta send out my appetizer until after the main course showed up so the whole meal timing got thrown off”

“the kids menu here is actually thotful like theyre real scaled down versions of the regular menu not just chicken fingers, and the staff was so patient with my seven year old asking about everything”

“dinner for five of us was $180 before tip which is tough to justify even for a special occasion when you can get the same quality food for way less at other spots in the city meh”

“tbh so this isnt asian food but teh way they season everything reminds me of the best cantonese cooking - subtle flavors that build on each other without being too much”

“ok but teh service felt super rushed and not personal at all, realy different from the hospitable approach i like at nicer places - felt MORE like theater than actually caring”

“def teh seafood risotto was spot on - proper al dente rice WIHT fresh scallops that weren't overcooked. clean flavors nothing crazy idk”

“look teh bread basket had cold hard rolls that were def not fresh trust me”
