The Wild Game Feastivül (Nov. 4- Dec. 6) was on at the Bier Markt, and me and Jess got sucked into the restaurant with the help of some strategically placed signs outside of the building.
Alberta bison carpaccio ($10):
The meat was sliced super thin. The taste was similar to beef carpaccio, but Jess noted that the taste was "softer". It wasn't gamey even though I expected it to be so. I enjoyed the texture of the meat as well as the peppery seasoning on the edges of the bison slices.

The apple flavour seemed pretty subtle to me. It wasn't as exciting as the apple flavoured beer that I had at Beer Bistro. While eating my dinner, I wished that I had ordered a dark ale.Nunavit caribou osso bucco ($25):
The celeriac purée tasted like mashed potatoes with extra grainy texture. Jess really liked the vegetables, but she said that she'd prefer a properly cooked steak over the caribou. The meat fell apart really easily, but it wasn't that moist. It was okay at first, but a bit hard to eat after a while. I would've liked more sauce to counter the chewy dryness of the meat. The entree was quite large, and I didn't manage to finish my plate.As Jess said, this is a great place to bring someone you might not want to talk to because it is really loud and packed with people. I suppose it would also be suitable for friends who talk too loudly for quiet restaurants.
From this experience, I don't think I am a big fan of eating wild game. Well, not caribou at least.
