Where is the city's best steak tartar?
We’re presuming you mean steak tartare and not steak tartar, raw meat mixed in pickles and Miracle Whip.
The quintessential French bistro dish deserves a classic Parisian bistro setting and you get both at La Societe (131 Bloor W, at Avenue Rd, 416-551-9929, lasociete.ca) in the Colonnade — beautifully chopped steak in caper vinaigrette topped with a poached quail egg, crunchy cornichons and a frazzle of deep-fried potato threads ($18) served in a bustling fin de siecle room that wouldn’t be out of place on the Boulevard St. Germain. C’est formidable!

Every cocktail bar I've tried in the city messes up a basic Gimlet. They pull out their iPhones and look up the recipe and invariably find the American variety (a country where Rose's Lime Cordial is no longer available so bartenders have made odd substitutions, like straight lime juice). Does anyone in this town make a decent Gimlet?
Messing up a Gimlet is definitely a sad spectacle. It’s best prepared with gin, lime juice, simple syrup with the optional garnish of lime. How hard is that?
