| - A bright an airy atmosphere beckons you in at the corner of Saint-Laurent and Fairmount. At lunch, it was a vibe mixed with new moms and bebes, power lunchers, ladies lunching and refined men enjoying a beer. The lunch menu is brief and beautiful. Grilled cheese sandwiches, salads, charcuterie plates on the small half of the sheet; pastas, stews, hash on the larger side.
My $15 corned beef hash was perfectly topped with a runny sunnyside up egg. Hat tip to the chef - seems to be the toughest egg to master. The corned beef was juicy, yet flaky and melt in your mouth. Overall it looked slight for the price, but with so many rich flavours, it was the right size afterall. As is the trend right now, it was topped with an arugula salad. The spice of it was quite the accompaniment.
My dining pal had a salad + fries, which our server described as her lunch of choice, nicknamed the "angel and the devil." The fries, which are served with mayo, are more like pillowy wedges. I was privy to a bite, and then I must admit, I couldn't stop myself, and ate nearly half (gasp!).
