| - We were walking towards Old Montreal and hadn't had lunch, and it was getting pretty late. I was looking for a place still serving food a little after 2pm, and while headed to another location we walked past Boris Bistro. I saw the really beautiful patio, with plants and wrought iron tables and umbrellas, and I decided to stop in here instead. I'm glad I did!
It's so relaxing to sit in their really beautiful outside patio area, but it's still relatively private; it's walled in from the street. It feels a bit like eating in a garden :)
We got caught up in the moment and ended up ordering a bottle of rose :) We're on vacation, so day drinking is OK, right?
I had the salmon tartare with salad and fries, and my husband had the half portion of scallop and shrimp risotto. I thought his risotto was the perfect size for lunch, but him being him, scarfed it down and was looking for more food. Luckily, my tartare came with a huge portion of very tasty duck fat fries and lots of greens, and I had plenty to share. I really enjoyed the slightly spicy sauce that I ended up using on everything.
Summary: solid food, friendly service, and a really nice atmosphere.
