VIBE
Wow. Nora Gray...what do I say? The ambiance reminds me of what Black Hoof was back when they started. It's a bit bare bones with wood paneling, a few pictures on the wall, some comfy booths and a great bar (which is where we sat). It's the warmth of the staff and the rustic food made with love that really made our meal stand out.
WE ATE
From blood orange and beet salad to tarragon rabbit ravioli to our sea bream for two served in a container shaped like a fish, our meal was one of those perfect Saturday night meals. The fish was incredible - salted perfectly and lots of lemon on the side for flavour made me feel like I was in Sicily (let's forget that it was over minus 20 Celsius in Montreal!).
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
Nothing "gray" about this meal! This is definitely a spot to bring a group of friends or have a few drinks and an app before heading on a Montreal resto hop. It really does feel like going over to a friend's house for a kick-ass dinner.
