Sometimes, less is more. Gottingen Street’s uber-trendy Field Guide sources its charcuterie from neighbouring Ratinaud, just a block away, but resists the temptation to expand on what’s already a very good thing. The sleek, chic modern eatery habitually showcases its suppliers, and that extends to Ratinaud as well. The board comes with house-made mustard and sourdough bread, but otherwise lets the flavours of the cured meats speak for themselves. It’s the energy of the place – and the craft beer and cocktails – that provide the real accompaniment.
Field Guide is known for their frequently changing, locally inspired menu, their inventive cocktail offerings and for being part of the new Gottingen Street food wave. This isn't white-tablecloth fine dining, but gourmet cuisine in a minimal, vaguely industrial, polished-concrete floor kind of space. Go for the taleggio and quail egg pintxo to start – the cheese is so aromatic, your palate will thank you. You won't want to stop with this dish until the pork belly and kimchi stew transports you to a fermented part of paradise.
If you’re looking for top-notch drinks and locally inspired food, search no more. Field Guide is a no-pretence, friendly spot that nails each and every classic cocktail – and then some! Do yourself a favour and order the donair steam buns to snack on over drinks. They’re dangerously addictive, and a neat twist on the classic Halifax street food.
