text: CotedesNeiges has not always been known for its upscale and trendy restaurants Despite some few good adresses it has always been viewed as a mecca for cheap but still tasty food With the openings of a few notable restaurant in the last years and with Taistoi et mange we are now onto something In fact this beautiful and hip place opened its door last summer and just from the outside you could see that the atmosphere is more SaintLaurent than the usual CotedesNeiges we knownnNow as for the food I remember their initial menu was a cuisine which consist of a fusion between spanish and korean food which was quite unusual but the end product was extremely tasty and differentin a good way Now I went back yesterday to realize that the type of cuisine has completely changed to southern food It was a bit of a shock at first because I really did enjoy the idea of the korean touche being a fan of this type of cuisine but after one bite of my salmon tartar i understood that they may have changed the type of cuisine but the quality and innovation of the meal had not changed one bit In fact the salmon tartar had a touch of lemongrass in it and it changed from the usual way that tartar is usually made Same goes for the beef tataki a simple yet effective meal I thought had a different twist from the other places because of the gochujang that was added Followed a Cobb Salad that I can only describe as eccletic with full of texture nnAlso the day we went tuesday there was a special Ladies night and who does not love a free drink There seems to be a promotion every day so it might be a good idea to drop by and check their promos And even without their specials the price of the food is quite affordable nnOverall an amazing place that I highly recommend in an area where trendy place has not always been the norm Who knows cotedesneiges might become the next hot spot
