This place was really great! We were visiting from out-of-town with some friends and had a hankering for French food, so this is where we ended up. For appetizer we had a cheese board and an order of foie gras. Both were generously portioned and delicious. My entree was a beef tartare which was dressed perfectly. Other items on the table were a steak frites and a beef bourguignon that was rich and hearty, though very salty. Another great item was the duck confit. They know how to do duck in Montreal, and this was no exception. It was cooked perfectly-- moist and tender on the inside, with the skin perfectly crisped. The decor was very classy, and the quiet jazz playing in the background only added to the ambience created by mahogany furniture and copper ceilings. Our waiter was very friendly. The restaurant was pretty empty as we visited on a weeknight, so he hung out to chat with us for a bit. He told us a lot about Montreal and recommended a great wine. If I ever return to Montreal I'd happy return to La Societe again!
