Having dined at both the Toronto and Montréal branches of La Société, I think the Montréal restaurant stands out just a tad more in my books. The service was exceptional.
As for the food...
I loved the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were plump, mild and served at the perfect temperature.
They had a nice French Onion Soup: full-bodied and topped with a golden aged gruyere.
I wasn't a fan of the Waldorf salad: the vinaigrette was too rich and overpowering for my palate.
The short ribs were absolute perfection. The soubise was rich and creamy, the meat was incredibly moist and the gremolata really livened up the dish.
The sweet potato gnocchi was also a standout. The brown butter, sage, kale and house-made ricotta came together well in this dish.
