| - When I'm away for business, eating can be a sad affair... you have to realise that many business travellers only see the light of day from an airplane or a hotel ballroom and when I can escape to a recommendation from one of our locally-based teams, I jump on it.
This was one of the recommendations. Incidentally, also one of the only things that's open on a Sunday/Monday in the winter... but a fantastic find it was! Not only was our waiter tri-lingual, which allowed our Italians to order in Italian, the French to order in French and the rest of us to order in Canadian... but they were lovely and chatty and gave us some great recommendations.
There's an excellent cocktail list, do have a look.
We went with some tuna tartare starters, oysters and risottos, some other seafoody pics, one of our party had the rib eye and said it was a bit fatty for his liking but to be fair, this is a seafoody restaurant.
This quite possibly captures what the best parts of being French-Canadian should be: welcoming, cosy, great food and they helped us get taxis for the way back to the hotels. If you're visiting, put it on your list! NB: we tried to make a reservation but nobody picked up the phone so we tried our luck and just happened to get a table.
