"Farm-fresh Québécois dishes & tasting menus from renowned chef Normand Laprise, plus fine wines. "Eco friendly water, local suppliers-a culinary mastery- a place for private or large group functions, date night or general fine dining experience and large terrace. We wanted to experience this and we would suggest to always call ahead and book before coming to Montreal. Ranked Number one restaurant in Canada- we were very luck to have gotten a spot. Service was on par- we had a server that could speak both French and English and was always pleasant and very knowledgeable of the menu. We had a sommelier speak to us about wines and was actually Impressed with the wine selection we chose ourselves :). We started off we cocktails - I can't even explain the taste- impeccable- mine was with rose water - served with a rose in it! We were offered oysters at first before our appies But did forgo. We wanted to be sure we didn't get full on anything before the main course! We got complimentary bread which was fresh- once again I didn't have much. Our appies was a cucumber spiced seafood pate with a small breadstick! Each bit was savory. Main course- i got duck - med rare with sauté farm Fresh vegetables. My friend got lobster capellini- pasta made today only! Desert - each got one to taste and even better. They topped it off with maple fudge candy that was so soft it melted in your mouth. There was an alternate "tasting menu with dish of the evening and wine parings but we opted to choose our own. I am sure both options would never disappoint! We were able to enjoy a 2h dinner just dining and chatting . Ambiance was elegant but warm and friendly. We got sat right by the wine display which took our vision right down to the wine cellar.
I have been to many fine dining restaurants and I would have to agree with Canada's choice for French Cuisine!
