| - This restaurant has amazing food! My colleague and I were looking for a good place that was in walking distance to the hotel. Based on the yelp reviews, we went here. We are so happy yelp didn't let us down! Just as Frederick Y. said previously, a must-go restaurant in Montreal.
We had no reservations and were able to walk right in. The ambiance is very quaint and relaxed, but not casual. We were seated and immediately dove into the complementary relish tray. The olives and sausage were a tasty prelude to the wonderful meal to come.
We both had the onion soup. Even though it became notably saltier as we continued to eat, it was good. The house red wine was very good, too.
Next, I had the lamb shank and my colleague had the duck. This was the most tender and flavorful lamb shank I've ever had! It was in a dark, rich gravy flavored by sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. Even the root vegetables on the side were very good and not just an afterthought. My colleague thoroughly enjoyed the duck entree, which was accompanied by an apple gravy. Lastly, even though both of us were totally full, we decided to share the profiteroles. They were filled with ice cream and swimming in a wonderful, semi-sweet chocolate sauce. This was the perfect ending to a great meal.
