I’m a pretty simple girl. Food and alcohol are basically the two things I need to be happy. So what better way to spend my Saturday night in good company and delicious food.

I finally had the opportunity to visit L’Gros Luxe this weekend and needless to say, it definitely lives up to its name. Not only is the atmosphere perfect for a cozy date night, but the food is incredible. Looking over the menu, I just wanted to order one of everything until I remembered I was in public and eating enough food for an army isn’t cute.

We started off with a pitcher of sangria because even though it isn’t summer, sangria is my and my best friend’s go to drink. Filled to the brim, the pitcher was topped off with fresh lemons and lime and let’s just say, they don’t cheap out on their alcohol. For the first time in a long time, I had sangria that tasted like it was actually made with red wine.

Our food arrived as soon as our buzz began to set in. We may have gone a little overboard, but it was definitely worth it. I would definitely recommend their pulled pork sliders with jalapeno peppers and coleslaw. We also ordered their Mac N’ Cheese du Moment and Poutine L’Gros Luxe. The mac n’ cheese was the perfect amount of gooey and filled with delicious bacon and crispy onions. The poutine had a Mexican twist to it and was filled with tortillas, peppers and topped with fresh guacamole. If there’s a way to my heart, it’s through guacamole.

As if we hadn’t eaten enough, we decided to get some dessert because why not. Imagine vanilla ice cream. Now imagine it with chocolate sauce. Sounds good? BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE. The ice cream is surrounded by deep fried cookie dough balls. Yes you read that right. Deep. Fried. Cookie. Dough. Needless to say, we died and went to heaven.

Staying true to the title of this blog, I was incredibly happy when I got the check. The whole evening cost less that 40$, which made this broke girl super happy.
