| - This place was amazing. My wife and I were walking around Old Montreal and we noticed two restaurants, Version and Chez L'Epicier. After hitting the web on my phone we realized that they were both owned by Laurent Godbout. So when we got back to our hotel, we asked the concierge about both of them. She responded that Chez L'Epicier is more traditional French so we went with that one.
When we got there our table was not ready so we had a drink at the bar. Once our table was ready we ordered a glass of champagne and got down to business. My wife ordered the "Homemade smoked salmon, gribiche sauce with lobster oil, fennel waffle and thickened vodka and black pepper cream". I must say that this might be once of the best appetizers I have ever eaten. It was simply amazing. I ordered the "White asparagus velvety soup, porcini and truffle oil,
mushroom mousse, shallot chips". The soup was also amazing with the mushroom mousse out of this world. For our main course my wife got the vegetarian option since she didn't want to have salmon for her appetizer as well as her main. So she ordered the "Confit tomatoes arancini, cepes mushrooms purée, boiler onions gratin, gyromithe mushrooms. Now, last year we were strict vegetarians for a whole year and I don't think we can say that we had one meal that tasted as good as this one. The risotto was fried into a cake and accompanied by some great tasting vegetables. I on the other hand ordered the lobster (didn't have on the menu so I can't post actual description). This was probably the best lobster I have ever had. The tail was infused with some injection of wonderful goodness and then it was accompanied by two claws with each one having a poached quail egg on top. Under each claw there was a potato of some sort that was to die for. For dessert we split the "Medley of crèmes brûlées". There was Pistachio, Coffee, Honey, and Chocolate flavors.
Now when you walk into the restaurant you will see almost a little store. There are amazing little gourmet items that you can purchase. For instance, you can get truffle oils or even homemade marshmallows. But the one thing that caught my eye was Laurent Godbout's cook book. So after dinner I asked our waiter if Chef Godbout was actually there that evening which he was and I asked him if I could get the cook book signed. So after a few minutes the waiter came back to my table, asked me my name and was off again. A minute later he came back from the kitchen with the cook book autographed by Laurent Godbout. It was a great ending to a great evening with my wife out in Old Montreal.
