| - (Pause)... I'm trying not to swallow my own vomit. I mean... the Duck n' a can I ordered (watch the Youtube video, if u haven`t had the pleasure in person). Let me get this clear: the service, the resto, the novelty, everything is A-one! I seriously love the concept and it deserves all the hype it receives, 5 stars for creativity! But the main favourites like the poutine, Dn'C etc... my god... zero regard for flavour balance. So go ahead, bring it on APdC lovers, but if you have half a tasting palette in your mouth, you will O.D. on salt and creamy, fatty richness. Many people love it. So the novelty is cute and foie-gras vampires who are legally deprived of foie gras in NYC will flock to APdC (as would I), but I don't buy into this as a Montréalais. The desserts (not that they are important after eating a Pig Head) pulled down my rating, as well. Unfortunately for me, I was wearing my reality goggles through my courses and although I had an amazing time- cet endroit est une vraie inside-joke culinaire. And I could only laugh at the irony. Would I go back? No, I rather go to Juste pour rire. I rate it 2 stars, on the premise that this was my first and last time coming here. If this food came-off of a foodtruck for 18$ or less per plate... ahh... then 4 stars. Otherwise I believe this funky concept is misplaced as a restaurant. This kind of sinful, sloppy food belongs in styrofoam packaging, not fine glass plates... if you get my drift.
