| - Well, a real pleasure! An attractive, comfortable restaurant that oh, by the way, happens to be kosher. The missus and I were visiting Montreal; looking for a kosher spot for dinner. I'd heard of this new place through Dani K's YeahThatsKosher blog.
The tag line says steak and Italian, but the menu is quite complete. We started with the Tuna Bombs and the Gnocchi Poutine. Tuna bombs were too spicy for the missus but just to my taste. A spreadable, tuna tartar with a nice kick.
The Gnocchi Poutine, as documented elsewhere, is to die for. Little pillows of potato covered in lamb and gravy. A guilty pleasure not to be missed.
We then moved on to the Mixed Grill Platter for two. A spectacular array of grilled meats, cooked to order, served on a thick wooden cutting board. A plate of grilled vegetables, a bowl of well seasoned mushrooms and onions and rather good French fries completed the entree.
We enjoyed a very good 2013 Barkan Cabernet from a short but adequate wine list. Waitress, Kim, was quick, knowledgeable and attentive. Host Amir was warm, friendly, gracious and accommodating.
All in all a terrific dinner that will likely be the capstone of our Montreal vacation.
