| - One of the most pleasant restaurant experiences I've ever had, and no, I am not affiliated with Boris Bistro in any way! I'm just a happy tourist from New York City, specifically Brooklyn!
Duck fat fries were on me and my friend's mind as we made our way back to Old Montreal on our last night in this elegant Canadian city, resolving not to leave until we've tried Boris Bistro's legendary fries. But they paled compared to the service: our waitress was extremely nice and even though we only had 2 glasses of wine, 2 beers, and duck fat fries, she kept on checking to see if everything was all right and let us stay for two hours, never made us feel rushed, and even offering snuggies (available for all their customers) when it got a little chilly!! All I kept thinking about was: joie de vivre! This is what life is about: enjoying wine, good company, great conversation, great setting- outdoors underneath umbrellas and trees with chirping birds- and duck fat fries!
I wish I could rave and rave about the fries, they were great, but nothing out of the ordinary. Crispy and firm, with a bit of mayonnaise, each fry was delish, but I couldn't figure out how they differed from regular french fries other than the name. Yet I'm not backing down from my 5-star rating because my Boris Bistro review takes the whole package into consideration, and the whole package was an early birthday present wrapped up in elegant wrapping paper and a pretty ribbon tied with great care.
I left Boris Bistro and Montreal absolutely glowing!
