Chef Teo Paul (Union, Heart’s Tavern, Côte de Bœuf) opened his Hamilton satellite restaurant in late 2023. That same year, he decided to move into the apartment above it and cook at least two services a week. Fans of Paul’s cooking will find Le Tambour’s steak-celebratory Parisian menu, quality wine list, horseshoe-shaped bar and wine-barrel high tops quite familiar. But one key difference here is the open-fire stovetop inspired by the one at his grandfather’s cottage, where Paul’s love of steak may have started. Naturally, the smoky, charred prime cuts take centre stage, but it’s tough to top the talk-of-the-town burger, topped with a gooey layer of American cheddar, house pickles and secret Tavern Sauce. On the side: perfect fries.
