| - Wow! My girlfriend and I were in Vieux Port, and we knew we had to come here. We came on a Friday evening, and we only waited about 10 minutes, despite them being one of the most highly regarded restaurants in the city. The moment we entered the first door, we noticed that the second had a sign that asked restaurant goers to wait between the doors as there isn't much space inside. However, a driver greeted us immediately and gave an estimate on how much longer we had to wait. She quoted us 30 minutes, but she gave us the option of taking bar seats if we wanted to be seated immediately. Because we were famished, we took the bar seats.
The inside of the restaurant is quite small, but feels homey. There is a TV that played a video of a beach view, and the music was instrumental and not too loud. The lighting in the restaurant was low, so there was an overall subdued atmosphere.
My girlfriend ordered their famous Mac and cheese, and I ordered their "ultimate experience" pork belly. I'm not kidding when I say that this was the best food I have ever eaten in my entire life. The pork belly just melted in my mouth and the purees were wonderful.
I had the best dining experience in my life and I will not forget it. A must-try if you live in Montreal!
