funny story
we were trying to go to the restaurant next door and accidentally walked into this one and once we were seated i did not want to be a jerk and take off
let me start with the fact that i did not want to eat in griffintown but i was starved and i refuse to get around montreal other than on foot and we were at least a 40 minute walk from home
all the places that we walk by in this neighborhood seem a little too trendy for me and i did not feel like dealing with it
so glad i was hungry and gave in
le fantôme features a tasting menu which is something that i had enjoyed elsewhere in the past as it gives you a chance of trying different things without totally overdoing it
at the end of the experience you might still feel you ate too much but i not as guilt inducing as if you had eaten 10 full sized meals
they do ask you about allergies and aversions and will customize if needed
our last plate was supposed to be pork but it was duck instead and there was no explanation for this but it was very tasty just the same
just wondering how the pork would have been as it is my favorite protein
even things that i normally would not order or eat were real good
veal which i never eat was great
cooked fish which i often avoid was great
particularly the char which was like eating a piece of butter
so good
service was attentive and on point
ambiance very nice
good background music
definitely a must try
