Once you decided that you are going to Montreal, do yourself a favor and book a reservation online ASAP. Reservations goes by extremely quickly. I made my reservation by the skin on my teeth. There were only a handful of availability...And I made my reservation a month in advance! A thing like that!
If you love food then The Liverpool House is your Shakespeare and the dishes are sonnets love sonnets designed to swoon you out of your pants (or at least unbutton it due to the gluttonous effect it will have to your waist).
It's a bustling atmosphere with intimate spacing. The aesthetics is cool with effortless charm and character. We were early for our reservation but was seated promptly. The menu is written on a chalkboard on the wall but unlike our time at Joe Beef they gave us paper menus. I take away a star because we asked for some food to be wrapped so we can take it to the hotel with us but we never received it and we felt rushed to leave our table.
We started with a lovely Horse Tartare topped with a small salad and raw egg. I have absolutely no qualms about eating horse (a romanticized pretty version of a cow), and it was one of the better tartare I have.
Hubby had the half rabbit with fiddle head fern and rabbit roulade. Tender and delicious.
The highlight of the night (and of our Montreal/Quebec City trip) was the Foie Gras Breakfast Sandwich with a sunny-side up egg, bacon, and maple syrup. Oh My Gras! Each indulgent bite was rich and heavenly. I highly recommend this dish.
The food is a bit pricey but not to extravagant; for 1 appetizer, 2 entree, and 2 beers the bill was 129.70 CAD/ 99.20 USD. I say that is a steal for the well crafted decadence they present.
