| - My lunch experience here was very close to perfection! When I walked in, the girl at the front wasn't smiling or very warm, other than that, it felt amazing! I sat at the bar, it was my first time dining alone, but it was fun! The bar tender was super friendly and polite. He explained the menu in English for me, made some recommendations for both food and wine and said Bon appetite to me for every single dish!
I took his recommendation for hamachi as the starter, the Arctic chat as the main course and white wine from burgundy as my wine pairing.
Oh boy, all of them were amazing! All the dishes were aesthetically pleasing, and they all had great creativity with a certain degree of twist. The hamachi was very fresh, but the chef used yogurt to add a sense of creaminess.
The main course, Arctic char was cook to perfection! One side were so crispy and the fish was still tender and juicy! I asked for salt for some extra seasoning, and the black chick peas were definitely unexpected for this dish. But they complimented well with each other!
And the wine pairing! So awesome, it brought out an extra dimension to the dishes. It was perfect with seafood for sure, I was able to taste the crispness of the fish. I wasn't a big fan of wine before but now I don't think any meal is complete without wine!
No wonder this place is among the top restaurants in Montreal! Stunning!
