I had been hearing a lot about this restaurant in Toronto called the Black Hoof and simply had to try it. Here is my story in pictures. Most of the shots were taken at 1600 or 3200 ISO, so lots of graininess (and some focusing issues) -- my apologies.
Part of the blackboard menu at the Black Hoof. The other half was so delicious it had to be censored.
The charcuterie board was full of house-made cured meats including foie gras, terrine, guanciale, duck liver mousse, spicy chorizo, sopressata flecked with blueberries, and several other cured meats. Thanks to my friend Susan for remembering all of this.
Roasted bone marrow served with sea salt and crostini. I could have sucked this all up in seconds.
And the main event -- the raw horse sandwich! This open faced horse tartare melted in your mouth like a fine piece of high grade red tuna sashimi. Hands down the best sandwich I have ever had in my life (I've had many).
Haven't had enough meat? How's about a bacon and chocolate bread pudding to wash everything else down? This semi-sweet dish was the perfect supplement to a very memorable meal.
***Missing from the pictures was the tongue on brioche. Also fantastic.

Even I am craving meat after looking at those pics! Beautiful captures.
Thanks Kat. Anytime you wanna break your veggie stance, I will be there to hold your hand at the BH. Might as well go down guns ablazin'!!!
i am impressed
Impressed as you should be.. the food here is fricking amazing! kudos to the horse meat sammy.. thats a tasty tasty treat.. dont forget to check out their newly opened cafe across the street! it makes a nice waiting room if the hoof is full :)
It is becoming one of my favorite spots in the city. Just fantastic. Am also dying to try the Hoof Cafe as well. I found out that a friend of mine's brother happens to be the head chef there. Will be tough to beat the original Hoof though.
When I went, the tongue on brioche was my favourite part of the whole meal. and we had a freaking amazing carrot cake with spiced pecans. whoa. going back in two days. can't wait.
