| - It's Friday night, you didn't quite make plans but you want to maybe spend a nice night out in Montreal with the significant other. You think of all the places you might want to go but realize they're probably pretty booked and you didn't make any reservations. Hm. What does Yelp say? Yeah, been there, it's okay. Umm that place looks nice but way too expensive. What's this? Robin des Bois? Volunteer staff? Proceeds go to charity? Nice looking menu items? What the heck, let's try this spot. Call to make reservations just to be on the safe side. Get there and realize no reservations needed this particular night. What a charming place. Inviting, cute decor, customized chairs, a piano on the stage... And we haven't even looked at the menu yet! Let's see here... grilled octopus confit? Umm yes please. Creamy mashed potatoes? Roasted carrots parsnips and beets? Green beans cooked to perfection? What kind of magic did they do with these shallots? A mashup of all the best, buttery, comforting things to put in my belly. And I can get a glass of whisky? I'm overwhelmed. I hope they don't offer dessert. Oh, okay, I'll get that creme glacee avec fraise et meringue. Siiiigh. Splurging so much never made my wallet feel so good. And compared to other places in town, this was a bargain! Looking forward to coming back SOON.
