| - This is the best meal I have ever had in my life. Also the most expensive; we spent about 300 for two people and that's getting steaks and appetizer and dessert. This is one of those places where, while you're waiting between courses, they give you a little tiny bite-sized snack where they pack in about ten different flavors into an item that's maybe 5mm across, and every menu item has a list of fancy ingredients a mile long.
For example, instead of "asparagus," it's "asparagus: lettuce, camelina oil, radish, scallions, leek oil mayonnaise." Which is delicious, by the way.
The steaks were juicy. The desserts were sweet. The servers were all over us. They offered to call us a cab at the end of the meal, but we were staying within walking distance. And then when we went outside, it just so happened Joute Fountain was just finishing up that fire show.
There is also the tasting menu option - for $170 - which I might do if I end up in Montreal again. The items that come out are all random, chef's choice, with one exception: you can opt out of the foie gras. I don't approve of the way foie gras is made, so I appreciate that.
