Situated in a small renovated house, typical of its old working-class Hull neighbourhood, Le Tartuffe provides a contrasting backdrop for upscale European cuisine.

Dried cranberry blinis are covered with tender sweetbreads and luscious foie gras. Down-home lentil salad meets a long-lost relative of maple-glazed pheasant. And this is only for starters.

Mushroom lovers go GAGA over the veal medallions in a morel and cream sauce (Check out prices for morels if you can find them.) Local Emu Steak -- White meat lovers' red meat substitute -- gets a culinary facelift with pepper and cahors wine jelly sauce.

Food allergy sufferers get a break with special attention from a concerned chef. Somewhat of a rarity. Ample wine list to choose from. Would love to see more Ontario VQA.
