| - Excellent french food and fine dining.
I went to this place after buying a voucher deal online which offered 3 course meal for two for 60$ which was a great deal otherwise I would have never considered this restaurant.
Although it's just at the corner of a busy street in Old Montreal, the exterior looks very dark and it's dead unless you have dinner late in the evening.
First impression walking in is that I felt out of place, my boyfriend and I are in our early twenties and the crowd is definitely a mature one.
Restaurant has a charming, classic old style feel.
We had their ceasar salad which is made to order in front of you, dressing was whisked on the spot, made from scratch, one of the best salads I've ever had.
Some of their main courses such as filet mignon and shrimps are also flambee and cooked in front of you. My filet mignon was generously cooked in butter along with the shrimps. Cooking was perfect, very tasty.
Desert consisted of lemon tart pie, perfect pairing of tart and sweet.
No complains about the food, everything was delicious.
But here is the problem, 3 course dinner literally took 3 hours.
Staff and diners alike, everyone moves at a very slow pace. Fortunately, we were not in a a rush and we were enjoying the experience.
Bonus for their women's washroom, there was a bottle of lotion which I thought was a nice yet rare addition.
