number of shareables including lobster potato salad , which is ample for two , though the decision to share might be regretted . The eye-catching plate deliciously marries golden roasted fingerling potatoes with buttery poached seafood , a few dollops of yuzu aioli , shaved pickled shallots and pretty taro chips .
Divine seafood chowder brims with jumbo black tiger prawns , scallops and half a lobster tail in a fennel loaded tomato broth .
For beef critics , nothing is spared . Canadian prime and wagyu , the highest grade Japanese import , is gaining quick favour . Opt for the thick cut wagyu pastrami sandwiched in brioche , and striking taste reinforces the appeal of fine dining . For a truly sublime downtown experience coupled with next level cooking , a table at 529 Uptown is not to be missed .
ciao ! reviews LE COLONIAL
Neighbourhood .... St . Boniface Address ... 4- 208 Marion Street Phone .............. 204-231-3005 Entrées ...................... $ 7- $ 22
Tucked in plain sight within a strip mall in the French Quarter , Le Colonial is a clever homage to the colonial history that has shaped Vietnam ’ s culinary identity , marrying French technique and ingredients with the boldness of South Asian flavors . The result is a menu that showcases the savory intersection of two rich culinary traditions .
This modern diner offers a fusion of dishes , where fragrant bowls of phở and herb-filled spring rolls sit alongside tender beef bourguignon infused with lemongrass . It ’ s a fresh take on
the intersection of these two culinary traditions , and it ’ s quickly earning a loyal following .
The interior is sleek and inviting , with coffee-toned love seats , leafy plants , and floral William Morris wallpaper . The contemporary yet comfortable lounge feel is drawing a young , fashionable crowd . Whether for a casual lunch or an evening out , the space hums with an energetic vibe that suits both couples and groups .
A standout dish is the phở-inspired beef carpaccio : delicate , raw beef slices marinate in a sweet , tangy vinaigrette , crowned with fresh herbs , pickled and crispy shallots . It ’ s an effortlessly fresh start , blending familiar tastes with a surprising twist .
Pretty presentations of prawns are another highlight . With their crunchy lettuce and fragrant herbs , prawn salad rolls are an uplifting
