^ Lunch at The Smoking Dog French Bistro is a combination of local and downtown business people, many of them very regular, and neighbourhood residents. Because it’s a French Bistro we see most people having a glass of wine, usually along with a glass of sparkling water, but pretty well always a glass of wine with lunch.

At the Smoking Dog we are best known for our Steak Frites, and we serve that dish often both at lunch and at dinner, but the dish we are featuring today is a lighter meal that is equally popular at lunch, great for a business meeting or for sharing between friends. The dish is pâté with baguette, green salad and cornichons. We serve a classic country style pâté; Pâté Maison – Pork, liver, onion, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper, very simple. It’s served with gherkin pickles, or cornichons, a little side of Dijon, a fresh warm baguette and a green salad tossed in simple light vinaigrette for $13.
