Laloux was a delicious meal to conclude our trip to Montreal. First thing to note: there is a dining room side (right) and a bar side (left) to the restaurant. This distinction is important, because it will change the formality of your experience. We sat at the bar, which I believe limited our menu options - though I saw others ordering from a broader menu. However, we were not at all displeased. For $20, each person was able to get two savory plates and a dessert. The food was amazing. I started with a beet salad, then beef tartare and finally lemon tart. The smoked trout was a surprising and delicious dish.
Service was fantastic. The bartender (and perhaps their sommelier) was very helpful with our wine choices. And every member of the waitstaff was friendly and attentive. You could tell they were all working hard and yet still maintained such great attitudes.
You can tell this is a place the locals of Montreal like to visit, and it would certainly be one of my go-to's if I had the pleasure of living nearby. Do visit Laloux.
