| - One of the best meals we had while we were in Montreal. That lamb shank...oh my. Let me tell ya, I was holding myself back from picking it up and gnawing the meat right off of the bone. So tender and flavorful. And it was HUGE! I mean, look at that pic! Of course, I finished every last bite. (Gotta pad that muffin top.) b. enjoyed her duck confit, which was also cooked very well and came in a large portion too. The sauce made a nice pairing - complemented the meat without overpowering it. But in the end, I think my lamb shank KO'ed b's duck, hands down. Our appetizer, the foie gras, was okay, nothing special. But we also had no idea what "au torchon" meant when we ordered it so maybe our expectations were off. We probably would have done better with the beef tartare, which looked pretty good from the looks of the table next to us, but we were pretty meat-ed out by that point in our trip.
Service was friendly enough. When we arrived early for dinner, I asked our waiter whether we could be seated on the second floor in front of the open balcony. In typical French form, he responded with a short but polite, "No, is impossible." This tickled us. Oh, if only I had a French accent.
