I passed by at the end of day hungry and disappointed that they were out of the sandwiches I'd heard about, but when I asked the owner for suggestions on what I could eat asap she immediately said: ribs. Yes. One bag of smoked ribs to go please. The bag cost $12 and she threw in a full loaf of sourdough bread.
Let's stop for a second and talk about how hard it is to find actual sour dough in Montreal. It ain't easy to get the proper sour flavour you taste in SF and think about for ages afterwards. But the boucherie bread is perfect. It's certainly not what they're all about (the sausages! the steaks! oh my!) which makes the perfection of it all the more noteworthy and appreciated.
The ribs though the ribs - dry smoked, sweet with a crackling heat... ideal for picnics.
