Although one usually gets decent steak tartare at a steakhouse, where are everyone's favourite steak tartare places?
My old standby was the Movenpick restaurant in Toronto, but sadly the Canadian franchise was sold a number of years ago and the restaurant only exists as Marche, a prepared foods outlet. Recently, I've been frequenting the bar at the Fairmont Boston Copley as their steak tartare is very generous with the olives

Yup, green olives. Sounds weird but it works.
I usually get the bison tartare at Pied de Chochon but when traveling I often wonder about hidden gems that are not steakhouses.

good steak tartare is tough to find, recently we enjoyed it recently at Leopold in Chicago:
slagel heart of ribeye tartare | $16
shallot, caper, farm egg yolk, frisee, whole grain mustard, chef's toast
meat was finely chopped.
With some good Belgian beer, Mrs Sweet Willie & I were 'yumming' it up, our waiter had a chuckle as I guess we were being a bit noisy
Leopold's website: www.leopoldchicago.com/menu/116-food-menu
(and if you go, get the main entree of the smoked rabbit, out of sight!!)
We have a number of very good Middle Eastern restaurants in Chicagoland, I'm looking forward to trying some lamb tartare next time I go to one.

So now I am craving it again. I am going to be up in Montreal this weekend - so i was hoping you could recommend one of those places that prepares it fresh and will do it plain style.
