| - Had supper here last night during MTL à Table and our expectations were definitely met.
For anyone not from Montreal, Montreal's restaurant week comes around once a year and participating restaurants offer a 3 service "table d'hôte" menu at reduced prices. Everything on the menu looked delicious and everything we ate was indeed awesome!
To start off, the waitress brought us delicious home made foccacia with aioli butter. The party seated next to us kept asking for more - that's how good it was.
For entrées, we had potato and caramelized onions croquettes (served with beet salad and aged cheddar), & corn pancakes topped with nordic shrimps, avocado and chilis - both delicious. As the main course, we had the pan seared Arctic Char which was served on a "crispy" polenta cake, mushrooms, butternut squash and red wine sauce. The char was cooked to perfection with crispy skin and all. The polenta cake wasn't cripsy as advertised and needed seasoning, but overall a tasty dish. We also had the hanger steak "à la plancha", served with root vegetables & hand cut fries. Meat was cooked to perfection but some kind of sauce to bring the plate together would have been even better. Finally, the deserts were simple but very good, although we were stuffed by that point!
The overall experience made me curious to go back and try the regular menu (and brunch)!
