| - Coming from New York City, I wasn't just going to settle for just some "good" restaurant, especially since Montreal is known for great food, so after some recommendations we decided to go to Tripes & Caviar. I was not disappointment. The food was delicious, different, and made meticulously. The menu, which consisted of items such as bone marrow, calf heart, sweetbreads was chosen carefully and executed well. For appetizer, I went with the bone marrow and after the first bite, they had my attention. It was cooked perfectly, and sent me into that happy place we all have when we eat great food. For dinner, I decided to go with the pig tail tacos which were delicious and layered with flavors that made them unique and addicting. After I finished them, I almost wanted to get another order because I knew it may be while before I would get to eat these decadent creations again.
But it wasn't just about the food in this place. The ambiance was different. The place is simple yet was set up with decor that made you look around over and over to make sure you caught a little more of the details. I was also impressed by the music. This particular night they had a playlist of old-school hip hop, which was not too loud, but, at least for me, sent me into memory lane and some the good times of my youth. It was perfect. Good food, good music. And finally, the service. The manager was well versed on the menu, and he was a great bartender as well making us some cocktails showing us he was not messing around with his craft. Before we left the owner greeted us, gave us some great recommendations on places to go and made us feel right at home in his city.
People who live in Montreal need to go here and people from out of town need not to miss the opportunity. From the downtown it takes less than 10 minutes in an Uber or cab, so there really isn't an excuse...that is if you want to settle for mediocrity.
I wish these guys only the best and expansion of their great work with this restaurant.
