What a Beer List!
This place has the best beer list I’ve ever seen! A wide selection on tap and in the bottle, with nothing ordinary in site. It was great to be in a bar/restaurant and not see a single Miller Lite in site.
The place was very crowded and we had to wait about 40 minutes for a table in the dining room. Once we were there it was great – the menu for food is just as amazing as for beer, with a variety of unique items that you can’t find everywhere.
I will definitely be heading back to Hop Leaf:)
Dishes I tried:
Organic Montreal-Style Brisket
Good stuff – the brisket was amazingly tender. Stilton Macaroni was great. A great meal that helped soak up some good Belgian beer.
Mussels and Pommes Frites
The best way to start a meal here:)
