La Salle a Manger has a neat urban streetside cafe type of feel to it. Very open type of feel with windows that open to the street giving it that feel that are streetside. Service was good as you would expect. The menu seems to change with the local ingredients which was nice.
We started with the gravelax and the burratina. Both very good and would recommend. I admit that I probably didn't venture too bravely into the menu perhaps as I should. There were 5 horse dishes including horse tartar and horse osso bucco. As an american, I'm just not used to these types of dishes. I think if I were to go back, I'd recommend you go in one of those directions. I had the Salmon, which was quite good, but could have been prepared anywhere. The cauliflower puree with heirloom tomatoes and peas however made the dish worthwhile.
This restaurant was recommended by one of the servers at Liverpool. I would certainly go back for another try next time we visit Montreal.
