| - This was one of my favourite meals in Montreal. Simple, homemade food, at a family-run establishment.
We had reservations for dinner on a cold November night. We were seated upstairs in the loft-style restaurant. There was live music playing downstairs, however we could easily hear everything from the second floor.
Their special soup with homemade bread was delicious. It was the perfect balance between thin and thick, and it was very flavourful and creamy. The waitress advised me that her aunt comes in every morning and makes all the baked goods in-house!
The famous mac and cheese with Christmas ham did not disappoint! It was velvety, sweet, creamy and delicious warm goodness. It is comfort food at its best, and I dream about this dish to this day. Well executed and I can see why it's the best seller on the menu.
The Ultimate Experience: Pork belly with a puree of vegetables was also very good (runner up to Mac and Cheese). I suggest sharing this dish and the mac and cheese with someone, as both can be too rich to indulge by yourself. However, if you are up for the challenge, go for it! Montreal is all about gluttony!
Dessert was nothing to write home about. A simple creme brulee and a bread pudding dish that was forgettable. Service was A+, and the wines and beers were great.
I will return to Le Robin Square soon!
