| - Atop of Auberge Vieux Port is a wonderful terrace with a spectacular view of Old Montreal and its Port. We had been here a few years ago and were blown away by a White Sangria we were served using white wine, lychee and white cranberry juice. We returned this year and were hoping for a repeat enjoyment.
Yes, they still offered a White Sangria, but it was prepared differently (insert sad face here). But wait, there's more! There was now a Clear Sangria on the menu that was made with Prosecco, white cranberry juice, and peach Schnapps. Just had to try this! We ordered a pitcher ($50) and some food. The Clear Sangria was fantastic (insert happy face here).
Since we were sharing the Sangria we also shared the Grilled Cheese Canard ($18) and Tartare de Crevettes ($26). The duck grilled cheese was delicious and came with chips and some salad. The shrimp tartare was fresh, tasty, and came with some toasted baguette slices and more of the salad that was with the grilled cheese.
It can get a little cramped with everyone wanting to be on the roof on a beautiful day. Our server, Marie Noel, took excellent care of us. Our water and sangria glasses were kept filled throughout our stay.
As a final note, we found out just a little too late, that the terrace at the hotel we actually were staying at, The Nelligan, a sister hotel of Auberge Vieux Port, was serving a White Sangria with lychee! Oh well, next trip!
