| - What a great experience.
6/5 stars go to Sarah, our amazing waitress who was funny, personable, and dead on with respect to the food recommendations. She made this place an extra special 5 stars.
We walked into this place at about 3 in the afternoon, attracted by the bright window display and the ham models hanging in the window. Unfortunately, we were told that the kitchen was closed because the kitchen was busy stuffing turkeys. The only options for us? Sandwiches, charcuterie plate, and the cheese plate. Poor us.
Feeling not a bit disappointed, we order the rillette de canard sandwich, the roast beef sandwich, the charcuterie plate and the cheese plate. The food arrives at our table, and it is huge. The cheese plate was piled high, as was the charcuterie plate. The charcuterie plate, in particular, was a steal at $14.95 - home made pates, terrines, rillette and assortment of meats. Everything was fresh and lovely. Sandwiches were generously stuffed. The Rillette de Canard sandwich (recommended to us by Sarah) was to die for. The four of us ate and ate and ate, and still there was more food on the table!
At the end of it all, we decided to order some more rillette de canard to take home with us (we were due to board our plane that evening). All of that food, including the extra rillette, and a glass of wine came up to $89.00 not including tip. A true steal.
I would highly recommend this place as an affordable and yummy option in old Montreal!
