| - I went to Montreal to train fellow colleagues for a couple of days. After work on my final day, I decided to pull out my Yelp app and figure out where to go for dinner. I found this place, added the address to my GPS, and drove off.
I love pies. I've never had an Aussie pie. I'm adventurous. When in Montreal... haha!
I lucked out and got a parking spot right in front of the store. I went to pay for parking. The dispenser asked me to enter the parking number. I looked. I couldn't find it. I guess that parking was free, so I walked into the store.
You can eat there. However, there are two tiny tables that are high like bar tables. Instead, I checked out the selection of pies and dessert. I was in heaven!
The store sells warm pies. Perfect! I bought a couple and decided to spend a quiet night eating them in my hotel room, which had a kitchenette. I got the steak and mushroom, and steak and cheese pies.
To go, I grabbed a twelve-pack of frozen sausage rolls. The woman asked if I had a cooler. My car always has a cooler. I guess that this fact alone proves that I am a foodie! I reassured her that my hotel room had a full fridge. I'd freeze the sausage rolls before driving back home. She seemed relieved.
The woman at the counter was helpful and friendly. I paid by credit card and left.
I returned to my hotel room and noticed how carefully the pies were wrapped. A cardboard insert protected them from any bumps. Each pie was carefully labelled in its own bag. It was a nice touch that was highly practical.
I tore into the steak and mushroom pie. It was divine! The pastry was flaky and buttery. The pie filling was generous and delicious. I loved the mushrooms. They complemented the steak well.
I then ate the steak and cheese. So good! It's comfort food wrapped into a neat, flaky pie. Yum!
I haven't tried the sausage rolls yet, but they are safely in my freezer. I am going to guess that they are equally as yummy as the pies.
When I'm back in Montreal, I need to add a pie run with my bagel run. What a wonderful gem of a place!
