A friend and I went to Montreal for the weekend strictly to eat at this restaurant based on the review of a friend. All I can say is Wow! Salt cod fritters were wonderfully crispy outside and tender inside, the sea urchin special was simply devine. We also had two other appetizer specials and shared the duck in a can and a bottle of wine.
If you aren't looking for a romantic night, sit at the bar to watch the kitchen work it's magic. The kitchen staff are cool as a cucumber and the wait staff is extremely accomodating and quick to offer suggestions.
Make a trip to the bathroom to see constant cooking video steam on the flat panel...yeah, I said the bathroom. At first it was odd, but then it was genuinely entertaining.
Overall the food quality was outstanding, they used lots of seasonal ingredients in the specials, and combinations were creative and presented beautifully.
