The atmosphere is really neat, lots of local art on the walls which was pretty cool. We ordered drinks and brisket to share. I'd have ordered my own if I'd have known how small a portion the meat is. It's 3 slices of brisket, it was very very good don't get me wrong but the portion is really small compared to the sandwich. I didn't like the potato salad, but I'm fussy, it's more on the vinegary side which I wasn't expecting. My partner liked it, so I suppose it's a preference thing. The cornbread is 5/5! Overall it's not bad, just keep in mind the portions are on the smaller side but tasty. And the drink was perfect!

Did not know that it was located in Beyond the Pale, but I guess this is the area beside the brewery that serves food. The takeout portions are smaller, expect fries or salad orders to be a "side order" size at a restaurant. Although it was tasty, a $25 pulled pork sandwich with no sides and not much special going into the sandwich is a bit middle of the road. Would get it again, but more likely if other BBQ places were closed (as many are on a Monday night when I got it)

The menu is focused on BBQ meat, so vegetarians and vegans, unless you want to eat mostly sides, this place isn't for you. The BBQ at YKO is out of this world; everything tastes of fragrant spices and charcoal BBQ. I was worried about the chicken being dry, but it was tender and wonderful. If you're a fan of goat or plantains, you HAVE to try them! The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because ordering and picking up is a disorganized mess. If you speak French, it may go easier, but expect to wait.

We asked for the leanest cut and the lady gave us a piece by the back leg and it was nice and lean. I heard that the prized cuts are near the ribs and belly, where the meat is fatty. No thanks, I hate fatty meats, lol. So I'm sure she was happy that we wanted the "less desirable" lean parts, lol. The roasted pork was tasty. Not too salty. I don't eat the skin, but my parents said it was not as crispy as places in Toronto. They enjoyed it nonetheless. The store also had Peking Ducks when we were there for $36.99 each. They also sell BBQ chicken and BBQ pork, but we didn't see any when we were there (we were there fairly early though, before 11am, so maybe they bring them out later). They have combos for lunch where you can pick 1, 2 or 3 types of meats with rice. I remember that the 2 meat combo was $12.99, which isn't bad. Service was quick and efficient. Street parking only.

The Short Version: Pricey restaurant at the Lac-Leamy…read moreCasino. Food was delicious and service was superb. The Long Version: My husband and I had dinner at Arôme and everything was great from start to finish. We had reservations for 5pm so the restaurant was nice and empty when we arrived, but it gradually filled up and was bustling when we left around 7pm. I had a cocktail, the Soleil Spice ($13.05) and my husband had an 8 oz glass of Pinot Noir ($16). We then shared the Duck Confit Wellington ($29) as an appetizer and we shared the Seafood Plate ($129) as our main. I had a second cocktail, the Sur L'eau ($15.22) and my husband had a glass of 20 year old port ($14.50). By this time my husband was stuffed, as he ate more of the seafood plate than me, lol, but I still had room for dessert and when I heard there was a dessert buffet table, I opted for that ($14) haha. The Soleil Spice was easily among the top 5 drinks I've ever had in my life! It was fruity and spicy, but subtle spiciness that builds and only hits the back of your throat. It was so good. It had brown rum, pineapple juice and ginger bear and a "spicy tropical infusion." It was garnished with a slice of dried blood orange. I will dream about this drink. The Duck Confit Wellington was more like a big spring roll, lol. The pastry was very thin and crispy and the filling was like tender pulled duck. It came with some leafy greens with pickled oyster mushrooms and a port reduction. It was very tasty, but pricey at $30 for such a small portion. The Seafood Plate was impressive. It was 2 lobster tails (each cut it half), 4 jumbo shrimp, 4 scallops, 2 pieces of fish (we had our choice of salmon, cod or pickerel and we went with salmon), mussels and clams. All the seafood was laid on top of a bed of risotto and the Seafood Plate also came with asparagus and pickled celeriac, as well as a grilled lemon cut it half and some garlic butter. The seafood was delicious, albeit a bit salty. The lobster tails and shrimp were plump and juicy. The scallops were nicely seared. The salmon had a delicious smokey taste. And the clams and mussels were nice too. I was not a fan of the risotto as it was too cheesy smelling but my husband who enjoys strong cheeses loved it. So he ate pretty much all of the risotto. I liked the al dente asparagus and the slightly pickled celeriac. I did not enjoy my second cocktail, the Sur L'eau, as much as my first. This drink was way too sweet for me. It had Chambord, Rosemont elderflower liqueur, berry and elderflower infusion, and white cranberry juice. It was garnished with 3 raspberries and a wedge of lime. It had good flavours but way too sweet. I should have gotten a second Soleil Spice instead, haha. The dessert table had a lot of options. I wanted to try one of everything but my limited stomach space did not allow this, lol. I still did pretty well though, I tried their cream puffs (pastry was dry and filling was whipped cream and I prefer custard), tiramisu (was good), carrot cake (was moist), macarons (great texture), flan (delicious and not too sweet), lemon meringue tart (tasty, but the crust was a little too hard), and the best dessert was the strawberry pistachio mousse cup (so rich, smooth and delicious). My husband looked at me in disbelief as I ate all these items and said I must have two hollow legs. Haha. Our server was Daniel and he was fantastic. Very attentive but not intrusive. I really appreciated how he advised us that the seafood plate was large. We originally planned on ordering 2 appetizers but he advised that would likely be too much food, and he was right. We would have been bursting had we also ordered the calamari as planned, not to mention then I wouldn't have had room for dessert, lol. He also let me take a look at the dessert table buffet so I could decide if I wanted that option or order dessert from the menu. Overall we had a fantastic dinner at Arôme. The decor is upscale, but there's no dress code. We saw people in tuxedos and we saw people in cargo pants and baseball caps during dinner. It's more casual during breakfast of course. We stayed overnight at the Hilton Lac-Leamy and our room price included the continental breakfast buffet. So we had breakfast there the next morning. The selection was good with cold cuts, cheese, pastries, breads, fruit, yogurt, granola, smoothies, juice and coffee. The continental breakfast listed price was $21/person. The hot breakfast with eggs, and hot meats like bacon and sausages was available for an $11 upgrade (it sells for $32/person), but we did not get this. The food was tasty but not worth the listed price for breakfast, in my opinion. Dinner was worth it though ;) The restaurant is attached to the Lac-Leamy Casino and the Hilton Lac-Leamy Hotel. Lots of free parking. Review #22 (2026)

I got takeout: the 4 pieces fried chicken combo $11.99 to share with my husband. It comes with fries and a can of soda. I got Dr. Pepper. I wasn't asked what pieces I wanted so not sure if there's any choice, but I ended up with 2 drumsticks and 2 thighs. The chicken was ok, but it wasn't all that crispy and was too oily/greasy for my tastes. The seasoning was good though. It had flavour. The chicken was moist and tender, not dry. The fries were made from frozen and they were battered. Again, I felt they were ok, but nothing outstanding in my opinion. Service was efficient and nice enough. They are located in front of an apartment building. There's limited free parking behind the restaurant on the second level (up a slight ramp). They are marked as "for Cosmo Mart customers only." From there you can enter Cosmo Mart's upstairs back door. You'll need to descend a steep flight of stairs though if you enter this way. Otherwise, you'll have to go down the ramp and around to the front main entrance. I didn't see any readily apparent street parking close by.
