  • Called for reservations on December 1st, midnight, didn't actually get a confirmation until mid-Feb. Score! It was our first time in Montreal. We drove up that morning and went to Mirabel for 6pm. A nice drive in a pretty, rural area. Wish we drove out earlier so we could look around some of the other sugar shacks first. This place was a bit chaotic. Our seating was at 6 and we didn't have to wait. We were at the bar and it was a nice way to talk to the friendly (and typically beautiful - jeez an inordinate percentage of the population of Montreal is really good looking) girls serving us food n' drinks. We started with cocktails - a maple daiquiri and a maple Manhattan. Both were pretty good, but the daiquiri didn't go as greatly with the food itself. We wish we had drank more of the delicious maple beer. The courses were great and very varied - our favorite was probably the foie gras with baked beans. Or the sturgeon cannelles in mussel sauce. Or the blood sausage and squid ink pasta. Or the ham. I don't even normally like ham, but this was transformative ham. Like, I could cry thinking of that ham. We actually really didn't like the duck dish. There were four desserts, all amazing. We took home 3 tins of leftovers. It's a lot of food. The whole experience wasn't our favorite of the trip though. It was very sort of touristy, in a way. I know it's a destination, restaurant but there were a lot of big group and photo flashes and loafs of bread stuck with sparkers and things flambeed tableside for show. We felt rushed. Courses kept coming out before we could even try the last dish to come out. It just felt like Get-em-in-get-em-out. I'm grateful we sat at the bar and could at least chat with our server and get a little history, but still, the descriptions of the dish were really minimal. Despite being so touristy, you can buy the $40 cookbook in the gift shop, but not any actual bottles of maple syrup. Or maple beer. Bummer. We'll probably try to come back again next year, but it'll be with tempered expectations. The food was fantastic, it was the ambiance itself that left me wanting more.
