My thoughts:
I came here with coworker DQ to celebrate us both having gotten a permanent position at work - wahoooo :) We came around 4:30pm, and scored a sweet and cozy spot next to the window so that we could watch the pretty lights of Yonge/Dundas Square as well as hustle and bustle of stressed-out Christmas shoppers ;o)

This is an international microbrewery chain headquartered in France, hence why the French and English name in the post's subject line. They carry various beers as well as brew some of their own in-house. Check out these tankers, er, tanks!

We opted for a pitcher of the blond beer, which I personally found tasted weird, but then again, I generally only drink Canadian, so it could be my lack of experience with different beers.

The first page of the menu resembled the front page of a newspaper and was full of interesting facts about beer. I learned a few things that night, such as that beer makes your hair shiny and that it is a source of vitamin B. Who knew? And another reason for me to drink beer? Sure, why not! 

For food, we ordered a basket of sweet potato fries - a favourite of both DQ's and mine - for $5.95. These were delicious - thin-cut but breaded and crispy. The dip was a dijon mayonnaise. The serving size was pretty small though.

We also ordered nachos ($11.99) with guac ($2.50 extra). The nachos as a whole were good, but like the fries, were a smaller order than what I'm used to getting at other restaurants. But pretty much every chip was loaded with cheese, which I absolutely love, so I guess that made it worth it. The guac tasted tasted like it was 'diluted' with a lot of sour cream, so it wasn't worth it for the $2.00 extra that we had to pay. 

The service was friendly and quick, although our first waitress, who was only around long enough to take our order, seemed a little distracted and disorganized. The place is huuuuge! Make a point to go (that is, if you don't actually need to go) to the washroom, and you will see just how deceivingly massive this place is. 

On our way out, we noticed a little but stand asking for customers' input on the restaurant's service. It was primitive in design, but the idea was original. I thought it was a cute touch.

Will I be back? Absolutely!
