| - Trilogie is by far the best hidden gem I've been to in Montreal, yet it has one major drawback. Due to the fact that it's open only on weekdays and only for lunch, with quite a small compact space, the waiting time can be long. Having said that, every minute and patience is well worth it. Trust me! Don't be turned off by the long lineups or the 20-30 minute wait, you'll regret not having stayed.
Being a foodie and an avid follower of many other foodies on Instagram, Triologie is a place I had to try. No questions asked. Also because I love to support authentic, and local business.
Once we sat down, our very quiet and kind waitress took our order right away. Ten minutes later, our food was beautifully presented, and served pipping hot!
We began with the vegetarian spring rolls... These are not your ordinary, salty, supermarket spring rolls. These are extraordinary, outstanding, delicious, homemade with loads of vegetables and rice noodles inside. The rice noodles are a unexpected yet delicious touch to them. By far the best I've had!
We also had to try the marinated mushroom salad(VERY spicy!) Don't let the heat turn you away from trying them. These mushrooms were tender, with a nice touch of chewiness and extremely flavorful. Spectacular!
Lastly we ordered two different types of dumplings. Shrimp with lamb, and vegetarian. You have the choice of steamed or pan fried. Both are good! I prefer steamed. The steam brings out the tenderness of the housemade dough. Pan fried adds more of a crunchy, crusty side to them.
Since both dumpling dishes were superb, again done to perfection and packed with flavour. I can't say anything more about them. They were little bites of joy in the mouth.
Overall, Trilogie is a restaurant that I cannot wait to go back. Even if I tried, I couldn't find anything I disliked about the place. As previously mentioned, the lineups are not pleasent, but it's a clear sign of their well deserved success!
