  • Where or where do I begin with this place? Well it is probably the most well known high end foodie restaurant in Montreal and rightfully so, because the food here is exceptional. Not to mention this is kind of a who's who place to go in Montreal - just look around at the other tables and you will see dudes peacocking and ordering bottles upon bottles for their party. The décor is pretty dope too - the feel of the place is dungeon like but also I would say decor-wise a modern twist on the 70s? They have fringe lighting and quirky fixtures and statues all over the place, not to mention a pretty swanky playlist. I don't have any other words to descibe it other than swanky; that pretty much sums it up. Now onto the food...The ginger martini is a must try. It's delicious, and if I had more time to drink cocktails, I would have ordered another one. It is perfectly balanced cocktail, not too large or too strong but just the right size and flavor. We started with the snow crab and braised piglet risotto, the former of which was light, refreshing, tasty; and the latter rich, heavy, and full of flavor. We had the Julien Labet, Cote du Jura Fluer de savagnin "en chalasse" 2008 which went beautifully with the crab. Two completely different dynamics but both great choices nonetheless. For dinner I had the surf and turf; lobster which was expertly prepared and sirloin perfectly cooked with a nice red once you cut into it. Basically there is so much flavor and complexity in all these dishes that my taste buds were doing backflips - they didn't know what hit them. My husband got the bison special and I never thought a tough meat like that could taste so tender and rich. It was much larger than my meal so be prepared for a larger portion; we probably could have split it. I had the Italian wine by the glass - the Vignalta igt Veneto "marrano" 2006 since I like a more full bodied old world wine with steak; my husband had the Orben Rioja 2006 to go with the bison. And the dessert was just as good! We had the berries with cream and the house gave us a glass of sparkling rose - my favorite wine with dessert. Now the blueberries in this dish were pretty amazing - so small but bursting with so much flavor, I've never had anything like it. So rich and such a great end to a great meal. Five stars all the way around.
