We went to Arôme for dinner few weeks ago to celebrate our friend's happy birthday (his wife tried to make it a surprise dinner, but he was just too smart to know the arrangement).
white tuna steak cooked medium on grilled vegetables and capers. the seafood cuts that this place uses are thick, juicy, fresh and cooked very well to request.
seafood linguine in a tuscany tomato sauce was exquisite and among the best i've tried. before they used a saffron butter sauce but today was a pleasant surprise. i usually evaluate a restaurant by their seafood pasta dishes.
steak with showstring fries and cheese cooked to perfection and melts like butter in your mouth.
arome is the restaurant inside the hilton lac leamy which is a top notch steak and seafood restaurant in hull (gatineau). their menus' themes are constantly changing with the seasons which makes this place have high rate of return visits. the service is TOP notch bilingual and the clientele very upscale. their prices are higher than most restaurants in ottawa but very reasonable for the quality, taste and presentation.
I really like their fresh bread (flat bread, walnut bread and white baguette). We ate most of the flat bread and walunut bread while we were waiting for the appetizer to come.
This is the Prime Rib. I tried one piece and was really melt in your mouth. I can't remember if he ordered 10oz ($39.90) or 20oz ($47.90). But it was huge and my son can't finish it.
I ordered their catch of the day. I really don't know what fish it was. The server told me it was called Mei Mei and I had no idea of what type of fish it was. I joked to the server if this was Chinese fish.
I tried their Grilled poultry Arome style (also part of the 3-course meal, $29.90). Taste was not bad and my rating was 3.5 out of 5 for what I ate.
My husband had this Seafood fettucine ($42.90 from their 3-course Table d'hote menu) . Very rich and creamy sauce (as expected). After finishing this, he had no room for dessert any more.
This is the Chef's inspiration (cold appetizer - advocado sauce over chicken over mashed sweet potato) . The server said the chef changes the appetizer every day. Taste was okay. I preferred the western style potsticker I tried last time.
