| - $27 for appetizer, main with coffee/tea what's not to love?! The only thing is are you ready to have a full meal after 10 pm?!
Restaurant Lemeac is the Best deal in town. Great if you want to go on a late night eating date that won't break the bank.
Making the reservation on Opentable is quite convenient and for a Sunday evening there's no problem at all in securing a reservation. A leisure walk from Laurier Station or you can catch a bus over. The neighbourhood is nice and plushy, fun even for window shopping since all of them were closed.
We shared:
House Smoked Salmon
- "fresh" with a good bite
Escargots, Portabello Mushroom and Tomato Ragout, Basil Butter Sauce
- Love the presentation, nice contrast of colours and texture
Duck leg confit, roasted fingerling potatoes and salad
- The confit itself is A-OK, surprisingly moist, The only thing it the plate is loaded with cheap package salad that was not too fresh
Braised beef short rib, barley stew, Swiss chard and mint pesto
- off the bone tenderness and good mix of lean and fat. The most interesting part though is the barley stew which was prepared perfectly with such interesting texture and complexity in taste
Washed down with Côtes du Rhône Villages Sinargues, Pierre Henri Morel 2010 ($11) - light and but peppery with a sharp finish
Restaurant Lemeac can be quite noisy at time so you might not hear what your date said but just nod and smile and all will be good.
I think I will be bring my date again next time when I am in town!
