Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Lansdowne

Boyfriend and I went and split three dishes, which came recommended from a server. Onion soup, warm shrimp salad, and the steak frites. Everything was fantastic. We ordered our steak medium, and it came out very medium rare. Our server returned it, the manager came out and apologized. They returned with a corrected steak and more frites. Definitely recommend eating the frites with the steak in one bite. Good one their own but together- chef’s kiss! All of the food was incredible, and felt like we were back in Paris for an hour. Only critique would be for the bread to come warm to the table, or the butter to be softened so it could easily spread on the bread.

My first time at Charlie was a sinner. was absolutely memorable and I’m still thinking about dinner and dessert post-meal. The Charred Broccolini, Triple Cooked Fried, Mama’s Meatballs and Chocolate Pot De Crème are absolutely wonderful. Everything was delicious and I cannot wait to come back again— compliments to the chef and fabulous service!

I requested my steak done medium well. The first came out rare, the second came out medium rare. I absolutely hate sending food back and I’m never that person, but I just can’t do bloody meat. It’s the one thing I need well. My last and final steak finally came out well. The steak should’ve been entirely covered by the restaurant, but it wasn’t. Our drinks were comped, but the steak was definitely more than a couple cocktails. The food was good, it was just a disappointing first time experience.

The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is pleasant and reasonably quiet. The service was great, and they offer a wide variety of drink options.

What an amazing place! Hands down the best empanadas I’ve ever had in this city. Had the pleasure of talking with Jezabel & Mariana Velasquez along with many other interesting local women for the kick off of Cookbooks & Convos. It was most definitely a night to remember!
