"Walking into Cabaret l'Enfer the name already signals its intent — a deliberately provocative 'Hell Cabaret' that, according to Massimo Piedimonte, has naturally selected a clientele of the cool, fun, hedonistic, bon vivant epicureans and created an exciting vibe in the dining room. Creativity here is as much about context as cuisine: menus draw inspiration from the surrounding Brutalist architecture, local music and street art, and even sun-warmed tomatoes from their vines, and are described as love letters that can be playful or political; the restaurant is now moving toward a chapter focused on paying homage to Indigenous cooking and customs beyond mere acknowledgment." - Ty Gaskins
