This is the best meal I had in Montreal...and this is coming from a New Yorker who loves food and just came back from a Paris trip. The waitress guided us through the meal from beginning to end selecting the perfect wine to pair with the food, and she was never wrong. The appetizers are second to none: horse tartar (don't miss on ordering this life altering dish...ignore that it says "horse"), foie gras (rich and succulent), the smoke meat croquette (don't underestimate them) and last but not least half-dozen oysters which had the perfect balance between brine and lightness.
For the main course we went for the classic lobster spaghetti (did not live up to the hype but still excellent) and finally the best dish of the night: "pork happiness" with a pork belly wrap-around with a side of bone marrow and escargot.
For dessert we went for the hazelnut/chocolate cake and it was the perfect end to this once-in-lifetime experience.
Our meal was bliss and any trip to Montreal without including Joe Beef...is just not complete. If you find a reservation, make yourself a favor and GO!
