| - This elegant restaurant in Vieux-Montréal is an excellent, high-class (and pricey) choice for a fancy night out.
When I first saw Le Robin Square, I originally mistook it as some sort of luxury hotel. From the outside, the first thing I noticed through the windows were the huge chandeliers and the stylish furniture. When you walk inside, you'll instantly fall in love with the ambiance: it's sophisticated, bright, and comfortable. The staff is all extremely friendly and they treat you like royalty. Because it's quite popular, it's difficult to get a table without a reservation, but fortunately I came early enough in the evening.
The menu is relatively small, and it changes often, so you know the chef (who's also the owner) has carefully curated each option. I got "The Ultimate Experience," which was a huge slab of braised pork belly. It was tender and delicious (and fatty!). I also ordered the seasonal vegetables, which turned out to be roasted beets, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli - these were also amazing.
Overall, I had a lovely time here. The food was good, but to be honest, you can get good food at a lot of places in Montréal - the true allure of Le Robin Square is the ambiance and the experience. Come here for a special occasion (or just to treat yo' self), and you won't be disappointed.
