You all know how much we love the Hoof Cafe, It's sad to see it go.
We've written two reviews of their brunch here and here, but have not mentioned their dinner menu, so before The Hoof Cafe closed its doors two weeks ago, we went to try out their fried chicken.
Although you might not be able to have these mouth watering dishes again, fear not, we're optimistic about what BHCO will bring to us this spring!
The dinner is tapa style and the dishes are meant to be shared. First we had the Deep fried chickpeas. I've never had chickpeas this way, but I loved it. It's a light appetizer to start with. Then, there came the gnudi, which is essentially a naked ravioli, and the deep fried pork belly (I think). Both were tasty.
Now, the fried chicken came with four biscuits gravy and hot sauce. The biscuits were charred on the grill, and went great with the fried chicken. The chicken itself was well made. The amount of batter was just right, and they were deep fried to perfection. The only thing is, we thought the chicken lacked a bit of character. Adding a bit more unique spice in the batter would add a lot to the taste of the chicken.
Let me say, we were very impressed with the desserts. We had the banana split and the Hazelnut ice-cream with caramel glazed apple cake. The moist apple cake and hazelnut combination was the winner on the table, but the banana split was also very good.
This is our last post of the Hoof Cafe, although we will miss it so dearly, we're excited to try out the black hoof and BHCO soon!
