| - My wife and I are vacationing in Montreal. She's from San Francisco and knows good veal which is hard to find in Los Angeles, and I love to cook. While cabbing in to town Sunday evening from our airport arrival, we passed by Bis on the way to our Hotel at the Ritz Carlton. We both love Italian and figured this might be a nice alternative to the French bistro leaning environs. The crowd at this indoor-outdoor restaurant was all the convincing we needed. Sunday we dined at a seafood Bistro which was lovely, Monday at Bis. In a word, spectacular. My wife craves good veal and loves truffles, so she opted for the veal in truffle cream sauce.. To quote her, it was "orgasmic, and the best dinner shed'd had in years". She raved all night, including to the owner Aldo, who graced our outside table with several visits to chat. My pasta di mare was loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp and a whole split Maine Lobster served over al dente angel hair pasta in a light red sauce,, equally spectacular. Desert of profiteroles, and ice cream served avogato (expresso slowly drizzled over a scoop) was all perecto! Dinner was so good we have canceled a fancy restaurant reservation and will return later in the week so ny Mrs. can have her veal again not withstanding so many other wonderful sounding items on the menu. Stay tuned for the the update, although we fear not. Upon our return to our hotel, the Concierge asked how it was and advised many other recent diners had also raved.
