I knew about this place several years ago when I took a guided tour in old montreal area. Our tour guide took us there to use their bathroom. Years past I went to use their bathroom several other times when I was a guide to my friends and families. This time I finally found a time to pay them back. My husband and I spend a good money there.
We were really interested in a fine experience of absinthe tasting. Our waiter introduced four bottles to us. We took a good sniff before we chose. The price varies from 11$ to 42$ per glass. We avoided the expensive ones. Since we had dinner already, we ordered a cold platter 24$.
We liked the food but found it a little pricy. I really like my drink after I added enough iced water to the liquor, almost filled the cup full. My waiter also explained to us that the milky look after adding water is from the essential oil in liquor. The change of transparency looks magical and assured the quality of the liquor, I believe.
Really fun experience. Not sure I will back because the decor, the seatings and the prices are not to my taste.
