Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Duncan Ly

From the OpenTable editors: Bar Chouette lives up to its name - a French slang word for “cool” - with its buzzy vibe and killer cocktails. Chef Duncan Ly plays with French flavors and seasonal ingredients in dishes like hanger steak tartare with charcoal tapioca crackers. The drink menu shines just as brightly, offering riffs on staple sippers, like a rosemary brown butter old-fashioned.

Amazing food and a nice space on a warm day. Service was just ok but I got the sense the server was quite new at the job. She was attentive but forgot a few items we asked for. That being said given how good the food was we really didn’t care! Nice wine selection as well

Great night and great food. Having never been there before we asked our server to bring us her recommendations. While I wouldn’t normally choose all seafood, these choices were outstanding. Service was impeccable and kind. Will be back.

We recently had dinner here and it happened to be during their happy hour and it was so good! We got a couple cocktails (the lavender haze I believe it is called is amazing) and a variety of snack, small and raw plates. They were all really good portion sizes and everything was delightful. Our favourite dishes were the Stracciatella, beef tartare and the milk buns. The service was really fast and the place itself is really cute. We will definitely be going back to try the rest of their menu.!
