By 6000 | 6000 | January 27, 2012

We had a really good MBCC meal out at Societi Brasserie in Tokai last night, where the Tall Accountant poured himself this particularly spectacular glass of beer. I would particularly recommend their mackerel pâte with spicy chutney and the wonderfully-cooked filet au poivre. One question that did arise, however, was around the difference between a Bistro and a Brasserie, given that [...]
