A nice find amongst the many French restaurants in Montreal/Old Montreal. The space was a larger than we initially though so there was plenty of room for us at about 9:30pm on a Tuesday night. There was a live guitarist finishing up when we got there.
We started with the braised lamb poutine and the French onion soup which the waiter told us they were known for (I think maybe all French restaurants say this.) The soup was great and cheesy. The onions had definitely been caramelized well. The poutine was also good, but the fries were a little skinny for poutine so the gravy:fries ratio ended up being a little to high for me.
My mom and I both got the sesame crusted lamb with the goat cheese potatoes. Lamb was cooked perfectly medium rare and the sesame crust was crunchy. Could have used a touch more salt. I LOVED the potatoes, they give you a huge slice of goat cheese - as much or maybe more than the amount of potatoes they give you. That's what I always hope for in cheesy potatoes.
For dessert we split the apple pie, which our waitress told us was their best dessert. Coming from the US (specifically the southern part of the US) it was not apple pie as I know it because it was deconstructed. There was a pie crust surrounding a very artistic looking mound of cinnamon apple slices. That being said, it was tasty and much less dense/filling/intense than a typical slice of apple pie. It's served with maple syrup (of course) and ice cream.
Our waitress was super friendly and smiley which I always appreciate. She also kept our water glasses full which generally equates to an A+ in my book.
A bit pricey, but a nice special occasion place in the scenic old Montreal area.
