At first glance, the exterior appearance of the restaurant can reject: a small wooden shack on the edge of a passing boulevard. I must admit, the time of his predecessor, the late Gerry pizza, I had never dared set foot. To blame, it seems, since the place was quite crowded. On learning that the chief Vincent Chatigny (Bouffe on the run) regained the place, I saw the scene from a different eye and my aversion has slowly turned into curiosity.
I could not help but smile when I parked in front of the log cabin. I felt like visiting an old distant uncle living the remote countryside. Upon entering, one almost wants to wipe their feet on the carpet and sit close to the woodpile.
The place was packed on Friday night and immediately it puts us at ease. We really feel disembark in the relationship, the guests chatter from one table to another. I glance at the scenery, the seal is intact. You really believe in my uncle Roger. The place has retained its rustic appearance. It's old fashioned, but that's fine as well. It was frankly disappointed either way. Too bad the room is separated, the back room seems to have undergone major renovations and the bar also gives the taste to celebrate.
The pleasant smell of smoke fit us. I look to neighboring tables and I notice that the dishes are placed in the center of the table to better share between all the guests. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. You feel in a party of the new year. Without astonishment (the restaurant's name predicted it anyway!), The clientele is mainly composed of the male, but women are in the minority, they do not seem at all displeased them.
With the menu, we will be a tough offer: meat and more meat! Of course, smoking is honored and all meat will soak it. Like other customers, we choose dishes to share. We start the celebrations with Turf & Turf. A nice plate for real carnivores as it is composed of a beef brisket topped with foie gras pad. The main course, we attack Heritage Combo question of taste a little of everything that makes the house better. It tasted two delicious ribs standing out gently from the bone of a knife and fork, tender brisket and sausage. Honorable Mention for the sausage that stood out for its abundant flesh meat. I also appreciated the fact that it was not greasy at all. Question to enhance the treat, add a extra bacon (home) to plate. A stroke of heart! And again, the fat is made discrete to the delight of my liver. To add some vegetables to all this upstream of meat, we also miraculous's order the sweet potato in the side. mascarpone cheese stuffed, cooked slowly and topped verdurettes, it was simply exquisite. What a surprise: two cocktails were ordered too much and it's on our table they land. A little attention that warms the heart! For dessert, we let interpellate the giant lemon tart to share course.
Biceps BBQ quality across the board, primed dishes in simple, unpretentious but with great attention to detail.
There are few restaurants where I already think that I shall command the next time before they have finished my first service. Now that I have met the Biceps, would visit again, at least to try the BBQ chicken, there are also lobster, oh and not forgetting the meat loaf with foie gras ...
