Coquitlam BC
This is my second visit to the Coquitlam Tap House. The first time was only beers so that visit doesn’t count.
I’ve been to the Surrey location quite a number of times for drinks with friends but quite quickly learned the food there is not great. I hear since then they have new chefs. Maybe it’s better now?
I will say I do find the Coquitlam location much nicer as it’s brighter and more welcoming.
Today I tried all three beers they had on special.
I was rather taken by the Deep Cove Chocolate Coconut Porter.
It’s a darker beer with a really nice balance of chocolate and coconut. Neither flavour overpowers the other and it is a full bodied beer. Not Guinness heavy though. Just the right amount of mouth fee
I must be one of the only people who likes it though. They are blowing it out at $3.50 a pint.
This was only stop one tonight so I just had a small plate. The Spicy Ahi Tuna Crispy Crunch roll.
There’s a lot going on here, but it all worked together in what was overall a nice dish. Soy, sesame, scallions, peppers, cucumbers, seaweed, tuna and an orange wasabi aioli that finished it off.
Sushi-ish?
Whatever I liked it. Something I would have again.
Food 7/10
Beer 10/10 That’s gonna be a new favorite if I can find it again.
