| - I will put it bluntly...absolutely a must-go if you are ever in Montreal!
As others have stated, the French food here is incredible. I believe they try to get as much local fare as possible, and you can really tell in the quality of the ingredients and the taste of the food. If ever there was a desire to get some excellent French fare, this is definitely the place to go!
I actually found this restaurant by accident while looking through another website, but seeing as how there are so few reviews for it here on Yelp, I thought I should add one. ;-)
I had a fantastic meat lover's dish (Assorted Mignardises...) of foie gras, duck leg (girlfriend got the duck breast), tenderloin, and rack of lamb. My girlfriend had the duck breast special of the day. Woah, what a combination! The sauces they used were in some cases subtle, others contrasting, to the different meats and were really spot on! As a wannabe foodie, I have to admit, I was impressed.
Foie gras...well, not my favorite, but I am willing to go with it when it's on my plate. Geez louise, does it always taste this good?!?! I really thought I was eating a very well flavored meat pudding that just melted in my mouth. I have had foie gras before, and it did not taste like this...outstanding!
To be fair, you can't compare the quality of certain meats to that of the United States...truly, I have travelled around the world and outside of the Wagyu beef in Japan, there isn't meat available that can rival the quality that comes from the States. Knowing this, I can say that though this wasn't the 'best' beef I have ever had in my life, it was certainly excellent!
Lamb chops, this is usually hit or miss. On this one, definitely a hit! Fantastic, and with nice contrasting flavors to not overwhelm the taste of the lamb.
The duck leg was moist and delicious, and my preference for dark meat definitely skews my opinion here...my girlfriend had the duck breast. For my taste it was a little dry, but she seemed to love it...it wasn't my meal, so other than the taste I had, no further comment.
We finished off with the chocolate mousse...OMG! It has been a while since I have had really good, rich, thick and creamy mousse. Whenever I order it in restaurants it usually comes out looking and tasting more like pudding than mousse. Disappointment to say the least. But, the mousse here was fantastic! You know it's delicious and made just right when the first spoonful enters your mouth, sits there on top of of your tongue, and as it floats there it envelops your taste buds with the richness of chocolate that we all love! Wow! Great stuff!
Highly recommend it!
