Last night in Montreal definitely calls for a nice steak dinner! My first option was Vieux-Port Steakhouse next door, but a two-hour wait and the hostess's snootiness turned us towards The Keg. It was still an hour wait, but the folks at the front were super nice.
The bread we got was fresh out of the oven. Super soft.
Appetizers:
Escargot- The description said stuffed mushroom caps, but it wasn't. It was just escargot and mushroom baked in an escargot dish with curry sauce. It was oily and not what I expected, but still delicious. The sauce was good for dipping bread.
Bacon-wrapped scallops- self explanatory. It's always a good, bite sized appetizer. Scallops were fresh.
Entree:
Keg Combination: 10oz Prime Rib with grilled Tiger Shrimp- The shrimp was nothing spectacular, but the prime rib was one of the best I've eaten. It was not mostly fat, as some places would have it. It was very flavorful and tender. The au jus wasn't needed, but still really good!
I chose mashed potato as my side, but they also gave me roasted veggies!
I was worried that because The Keg is a chain that the food would be mediocre, but it was absolutely delicious! Definitely worth coming back!
