Over the past few months, I came across a number of glowing reviews on this new restaurant in many publications, whether in La Presse, The Gazette or the Montreal Mirror. Knowing that my girlfriend and I pretty much have an obsession with saucisson sec (having spent my childhood in France will do that to you!), this was on top of my must-try list. I was just waiting for a good occasion to go. Last night was the night and boy was I not disappointed!
The place has that modern bistro feel--chalkboard menu, and an open kitchen. Because it is pretty noisy, it's not the first date type of resto. We sat by the bar and the chef came to chat with us and described us the menu. Very nice fellow...actually the whole staff was very friendly and helpful.
We were literally blown away by everything that we tried. I love how the chef can make delicious dishes with simple ingredients...I mean everybody can make something delicious with lobster and foie gras. An example was the pasta with braised pork kidney that we had. So comforting! I cannot forget the plate of charcuterie... melts in your mouth!
Will definitely come back as it has become our favorite restaurant in Montreal
