On our way to a Yelp elite event, we passed this restaurant, located just below an old (closed) pub I used to go to back in the day and took a quick peak at the menu. I have been obsessing with tartares lately and this menu included several varieties including a bison tartare.
After the elite event we headed over to just grab a bite, a few appetizers and then we'd head over to eat dinner somewhere else. However, I was drawn to at least 2 apps and my bf had his heart set on the Hachoir 2.0 burger, so we decided this would be dinner.
I ordered the foie gras sliders along with the bison tartare and my boyfriend stuck with his longing for the Hachoir 2.0 burger.
The foie gras sliders aren't exactly typical. I was kind of expecting the usual: little burger buns with seared foie gras inside. Instead, the plate came out with a generous portion of foie gras, balanced atop little toasts, garnished with pickled red onions. Simple, delicious and low-carb (wink, wink)
The bison tartare (I ordered the appetizer size) was still a nice portion of tartare, in fact, I can't imagine eating more than I did of it. It was hearty, decadent and yet, still felt kind of light. Strange, maybe it is the citrus, but I didn't feel overloaded. It was quite good, and I look forward to trying some of their other tartares in the future.
By far the hit of the evening was that burger. It's a shrimp and pork patty, with bacon and grilled pineapple, and some very Asian inspired flavours. The brioche bun and the light hit of srirachi and sesame oil made this burger shine. The accompanying fries were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, just the way I can appreciate them most.
Great service, with a cool and relaxed vibe. We loved it and will definitely be back! -

This is an interesting place. I've gone personally about three times. The first time I wasn't really impressed with it. But the second and third times were much better. It's always nice to give a new restaurant a second shot if they don't blow you away the first time around.
I've had the tartare and it was very good. But what really surprised me was the burger. Now it's not that hard to make a good burger, yet a lot of places seem to have trouble doing it. Hachoir nailed it!
The location is also great. And the coolest thing about this restaurant is the old operating room light that hangs over the kitchen. It's awesome! Just don't let your mind wander the way mine did. I try not to think of what stories that lite could tell;) -

Funny story. The service was weak and the drink I had was horrible and was forced to pay 10$ for it. Unhappy I tipped that waiter 10% and he had the audacity to come and complain that I didn't give him 15% WOW! Food was ok, but I won't go back.

Went there for their new 5 à 7 and had a blast. They served beef and salmon tartare hors d'oeuvres as well as mini-burgers. I didn't try the burger because I don't eat bread and wouldn't know what to do with the left over bun while I'm standing up, glass of wine in hand. But it looked good nevertheless.
It was everything I like:
LOUD
French
beautiful people
clean bathrooms
opened kitchen
trendy
did I say LOUD pretty people? -

This is the kind of place that looks like it would be exceptional, but, doesn't quite deliver. Tried it twice and both times were ok. The place looks cool and the staff and clientele look cool as well. Crab cakes were good. Salmon Tartar just ok. Tuna Tartar was very oily. The second time around had the trio of mini-burgers: they were good, but, not worth the return visit. If anything Hachoir is a good first date place for people with some extra cash to burn.

This is no McDonald's! I think the stars were aligned for us. Me and my girlfriend were craving steak tartare, I had just received a newsletter telling me about this recently opened restaurant and I happen to live nearby.
The restaurant has a simple design, yet quite modern. There are is lot of dark wood, mirrors and visible pipes. The wine list is quite nice and the menu features mainly burgers and tartares.
Don't expect simple Angus burgers -- this new place offers pork, lamb, venison, even a crab cake burger straight off the chopping block. I didn't try them but they look amazing
I had the venison tartare which was excellent. You can tell that the meat is of really good quality. It has a smokey taste that not everyone will like tho. My girlfriend had the beef tartare, which was outstanding and full of flavor.
Only minus is that I thought the service was a little bit slow and the dessert menu a little average. I will however definitely come back tho. -

Good wine. Great steak tartare..mmm tarragon. Surprisingly decent salad. Best fries + aioli ever. Not so great dessert.
