My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Bistro Florin on Grand Prix weekend. We had tried to get into O'Thym without a reservation, but failed and were wandering. We noticed this cute place (very new at the time) and found that it had a great outdoor seating area in the back of the restaurant.
The staff was amazing. They spoke both French and English and we believe the owner is from France
We started with drinks and an appetizer. I had a nice white wine. We had an escargot in a puff pastry - to die for! My main was a grilled salmon with veggies. The fish was perfectly cooked and dressed with a tasty (but fattening) French buttery sauce. We split desert.
We left a few hours later after having a leisurely dinner and completely satisfied. If I lived in Montreal, I'd be here much more often. I look forward to going back and hope it stays around for many years!
