| - La Capital deserves five stars for the food and six stars for the service.
I'll start with the food:
I started with the carrot and coconut milk soup (to my understanding it is their Thursday soup), which was some of the best carrot soup I've eaten anywhere.
I also had their special, which was a shredded pork taco trio. The flavor of the meat rivaled some tacos I've had in The Mission in San Francisco (a place known for great Mexican food). If you like spice, I also recommend asking for the 7-pepper sauce. They make it in-house and it was a great, moderately spicy complement to the pork.
They have 3 cocktails, a Paloma, a Margarita with homemade habanero syrup, and a Mezcal Old Fashioned. The old fashioned was not mind-blowing, but a very good drink that I would order again.
Finally the flan for dessert was a great little treat to end an already good meal.
Now I would also like to commend the waitress, Sandrine, for the best service I've ever received in Montreal. She took the time to describe every drink and sauce in detail, and consistently made sure that everything was to my liking. She also talked to me about the history of the restaurant, how it came to be in Chinatown, and a little bit about each of the owners. It's the little things that can make or break the experience, and Sandrine ensured that I'll be coming back to La Capital again, and next time I'll bring friends.
