| - Post-dating back to Summerlicious '10, Auberge Du Pommier presents itself like a house on the French Countryside. Auberge is a lot more spacious than what it appears outside. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, with a combination of a rustic, classy, intimate, and refined feeling. Inside are stone walls with sconces, candlelight and a large fireplace in the back. After my first experience here, it has become one of my favourite O & B restaurants to come back to.
Came here for lunch, celebrating three birthdays at once.
Ordered:
Appetizer:
Brandade de Morue - It came with a delicate cod brandard (salted cod), which is traditionally paired with a toasted French baguette. The cod was surprisingly creamy and smooth, a refreshing appetizer.
Entree:
Poulet Rôti, Fricassée de Saison - Roasted chicken nestled on a broth consisted of wild mushroom cream, beans, and corn. The chicken captured the natural creaminess and sweetness from the mushroom and corn, making each bite moist and savoury. The highlight of my Summerlicious experience here.
Dessert:
Cake au Citron - The cake was fluffy and sofy, though the sourness from the lemon was too strong to enjoy.
Service here was impeccable and spot on. The waitress made her presence known and accompanied any requests quickly with my table of 9. I mentioned on the phone while I was booking that I was celebrating 3 birthdays, she took me aside and secretly took note of which guests she would be bringing out the desserts with candles for.
I will definitely be back on a regular night.
Note: Underground parking is free when you have your parking ticket validated after your meal.
