My husband and I don't go out for fancy meals often. Maybe once or twice a year. This was worth every penny!
We came to Montreal (and Nova Scotia) for our honeymoon and needed a nice place for dinner before a show. On a recommendation from the concierge at out hotel, we chose Restaurant Bonaparte. We made a reservation, even though I'm pretty sure we were the first ones in the door for dinner service.
Oh em gee- one of the best meals EVER. I started with the lobster salad (still thinking about it. A SALAD.), we had french bread, a bottle of wine. To drive the point home about the salad, it was a bit of lettuce and some shredded veggies with huge chunks of lobster meat and a hazlenut vinagrette. Seriously, I can still taste it if I close my eyes...
For an entree, I had the Scallop Delight- scallops in truffle oil, and Gordon enjoyed the Dover Sole in pine nuts and butter. Delish. Creme brulee and Creme caramel for dessert.
We were seated in the window which was a great spot to be in Old Montreal. The service was top notch and the waiter helped me choose a nice wine.
A great meal and a highlight of our trip.
