| - I'm really surprised a French restaurant IN Montreal was just mediocre. I was so excited to try out this place since our normal places closed down. We arrived at 5:30 since we had to leave by 7:40pm. The waiter hurriedly gave us the menus, then almost immediately asked what we would like. Dude, we haven't even had the chance to take a look at the menu yet. Fine, we finally decided. Some of us ordered from the prixe fix menu which consisted of these things: creme brulee foie gras (this is what gave the restaurant the 3 stars), salmon tartare (ok, pretty flavorless), porkchop (dry and chewy), beef cheek over mashed potatoes (also dry, a little more tender), and rabbit leg (juicy and fork tender). My cheesecake was weird, it was more like a mousse sandwiched with chocolate brownie. I did not like it. I also tried my bf's sorbet, which was pretty good. It had raspberry, mango and lemon. The lemon was bitter, but the mango and raspberry was smooth and fruity.
By the time we finished our dessert, it was past 8pm. It made me wonder why the waiter didn't rush us through dessert. I don't think this place is worth going back.
