THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Coeur Restaurant Review:


The team behind neighborhood taverns Memphis Taproom, Strangelove’s and Local 44 shows a knack for conjuring engaging watering holes with appealing eats. Their latest, inspired by the cuisine of Montréal, continues the winning streak. A bar backed by exposed brick and lit by amber pendants dominates the front room, while the table seating extends to a parallel space. Chef Andy Tessier celebrates the sort of rich French Canadian flavors made famous by Au Pied du Cochon. Try the grilled tarte flambee with caramelized onion and sweet roasted apple, or the polenta fries with homemade hot sauce to start. The poutine burger with cheese curds and brown gravy and the house-smoked brisket on rye with raclette and garlic aïoli make for hefty sandwiches. The house specialty rotisserie chicken with creamy confit potato and sweet cipollini onions is comfort incarnate. The affordable wine list weighs heavily on all things Gallic, while an interesting mix of Euro and domestic beers and a small list of cocktails with names like the Brown One and the Fizzy One round out the potables.
