17 02 2008Had a delicious meal at Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar the other night and wanted to share some photos. Since all the dishes are small tasting plates, they recommend ordering 2-3 dishes per person.

We started off with these two dishes…

This grilled halloumi plate was delicious. The peppery wild arugula worked really well with both the cheese & the sweet, roasted beets. (I can’t get enough of beets!)

And here is their take on poutine, a classic Canadian dish. Their Yukon Gold fries were served with lamb merguez sausage, goat cheese (?) and thinly sliced green onions.

This was the olive wood-smoked whitefish, served on a bed of warm potato salad. It’s a really light dish and if you like smoked salmon, then you’ll probably enjoy this as well.

And here we have the entrecĂ´te of beef served with northern woods mushrooms. Brock found the meat a little tough (it was served on the rare side, which I actually prefer and I didn’t mind the “chewiness” so much) but the sauce and mushrooms were really good. We sopped it all up with some sourdough bread.
I was impressed with how their menu changed daily (I visited their website today and saw a couple of items that had already changed from the other night) and I thought the service was spot on as well. It would be great to go back with more people, so we’d be able to order a larger variety of dishes off their menu.

Great photos… it all looks great. Did it taste great? How were the prices? Can’t wait to try it…
Yes, it was all very tasty. Prices ranged from $5-14 a plate, but I’d say the majority of the dishes were $9-11.
I’m a huge fan of the poutine at JKWB
I got reservations for next week!
I went and it was great! Thanks for the recommendation!
