| - Terrific service last night at my favorite casual spot on Le Plateau-Mont-Royal Montréal. My third visit with terrific attention to detail. This is the place you want to spend the evening - prepare to invest a couple hours with your date or friends and wind through starters, mains, and desert! We were impressed with our waiter as well as the presentation.
The appetizer "La Tarte Aux Tomates" It was so well presented that we took a photo. We loved the perfect puff pastry, mascarpone, onion confit, and mozzarella was terrific and it paired well with our white wine. Our wine was delightful and fun! If you want a bottle of white thats crisp, enjoyed young with elegant depth; go for the Malvasia. I'm not a fan of tomato sauce, but Roméo pulls it off with authentic richness. I know this because I had a slice of my dinner date's Calabrese and was stunned. If you love well done crusts and lighter flavors - go for the La Flamande. I was very impressed and will order again! The cream sauce was rich, yet lovely. Perfect pancetta, fresh leeks, with flavorful mozzarella and parmesan: you won't be disappointed.
Oh and don't worry at all about your French, they give fabulous service in French, English, Yum, and Mouthfull's of food!
