  • Nominated for people's choice award in Air Canada Enroute magazine, we could not pass on the opportunity to dine here during our recent weekend visit to Montreal. This intent almost came to nought on Sat night when we could not find reservations for dinner. I called up the restaurant and spoke to the reservationist to check if there were any tables or cancelations for the evening. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they could make arrangements for our party. I was then kept on hold for a while only to later be informed that they cannot accommodate us. I was bummed with the service since it was getting pretty late in the night and we almost started driving towards the restaurant. Anyways, upon checking opentable for sunday reservations there was no problem getting a table at our desired time. The restaurant is on a quiet street and was not too busy when we arrived. The service was as expected given that only a few tables were occupied. I was disappointed to learn that they don't have any pisco sours or a cocktail menu but they offered a full service bar and limited wine menu. We mostly stuck to the small plates and ordered a bunch. The amuse bouche was mind blowing (it was a duck heart dipped in huancaina sauce). This only set the bar higher for what was to follow. Unfortunately there were a few misses with the rest of the dinner. Octopus was too sweet since it was glazed with maple. The first few bites were interesting but the sweetness was overpowering with every subsequent bite The crispy shrimp was creative but overrated. The sauce again erred on the side of sweetness but you cannot eat w/o it since it's dry. I quite enjoyed the thinly shaved phyllo crust on the shrimp though - very light although it was deep fried Tiradito of Red deer with foie gras did not pack the flavor punch we were expecting. It was a good dish but not a great one. The lucuma dessert was probably one of the biggest disappointments. For those who've never had lucuma will most likely like it but for those who've tried it before you will definitely notice the difference. The ice cream itself was not sweet but the dulce de leche added the sweet component to the dish. I liked the fact that they added some cocoa nibs to balance the overall sweetness in the dessert. Our favorite was the asian style crispy duck arepitas with foie gras torchon. It was juicy and the fresh chinese buns were the perfect fluffy pillow to absorb the jus. We craved for more and ended up ordering it again. There was definitely creativity on display but none of the dishes except the crispy duck would make me order it again.
