| - We're from Toronto and booked for a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. Best decision we made all trip. We sat at their newly chefs table seating area that fit 8 of us. We went with their tasting menu that they made up for us. The menu consisted of:
A whole Sea Bream - Perfectly cooked and garnished with veggies and lemon. So simple and well done.
A 14oz steak with potatoes- perfectly cooked steak
Tuna & Tahini- One of my favourite dishes all night, we all wish we were able to have more of this. Tuna was so creamy in flavor and texture and it just melted in your mouth. I've never tasted tuna with tahini before, delicious!
Spicy Fried Chicken - Best fried Chicken I've ever had, I enjoy spice, the batter was perfect and so flavorful, it wasn't heavy and the chicken was incredibly tender and juicy.
Lamb Neck Cavatelli- I really like lamb, it was little on the salty side but still delicious.
Vegetarian Cavatelli - I thought this wasn't going to be as good as the lamb neck but I was wrong, I really enjoyed the light sauce with garnishes in this dish.
Veggies with light sauce (not sure what it was but was light and fresh)
Dessert - pancakes with butter maple sauce (best pancakes I've ever tasted, they should just open up a pancake spot)
And and arrangement of home made cookies, and chocolates (Unreal)
Also a round of shots were included in the price of the dinner
We ordered a round of shots plus few bottles of wine so in total between 7 people (leaving out the bday girl out) we paid $102 before gratuity per person.
The ambiance, the staff (who was incredibly accommodating and naturals at servicing), the decor, chuck hughes, the chef danny smiles and his whole team really gave Montreal a true gem. This is starting to sound like an acceptance speech so I'll end by saying....go there now.
And if Chuck if youre reading this....its not too late, please open up a spot in Toronto.
