| - We stopped in on a Friday afternoon around 2:30pm while on our way to Montreal. There were a few people in the restaurant finishing up their lunches, and we thought we might be in for a dismal dining experience as we missed the lunch rush. Boy were we wrong! We were promptly greeted by our waiter who was cheerful and friendly, and he let us choose our table.
He gave us their limited menu that's served between lunch and dinner time, and kindly reviewed all the options with us. A few moments later he returned with the full lunch menus and informed us that we could order either menu if we wanted to! This was a really nice gesture as we were the only ones in the restaurant at this point and the kitchen would have to switch back to "lunch mode" to prepare an order from this menu. Our server reviewed the lunch menu with us as it was in French and we did not understand everything on it.
I ordered a flight of beers to start with and he promptly brought over the 3 lightest first, and later brought the three darker ones once he noticed I was almost done with the third. Now that's service! I got to enjoy each beer at the optimal temperature! After the meal, I asked to try Raftman, which is one that I have not seen in the US. He brought over a sample for not only me, but for my husband too.
For lunch, I ordered the vegetarian manicotti, although I cannot remember exactly what it was called on the menu! It was delicious. Fresh made pasta filled with a ricotta cheese and vegetable filling, covered in an herb-y creamy sauce with assorted colored carrots and cauliflower. I could have eaten that herb sauce by the spoonful, it was soooo good!
My husband ordered the grilled cheese with apples and caramelized onions, which was perfectly grilled to a deep golden brown, stuffed with lots of onions and apples. It was served with a small salad of greens, lightly dressed. He really enjoyed it!
Oh yes, and our meals came with a creamy root vegetable soup that was silky smooth and full of flavor! and a small piece of cheesecake for dessert!
After our meal, I mentioned that I wanted to purchase some of the Unibroue beers, so our server showed us to the little store and pointed out the limited edition beers and also the ones that we probably wouldn't fine in the US. Super helpful! I purchased three and cannot wait to enjoy them.
We had an incredible experience here on a freezing Friday afternoon! Amazing food, great beer, and five star service! I wish I asked for the gentleman's name who served us, he gave us a great experience! Out of our whole 3-day weekend experience in the Montreal area, this place was head and shoulders above the rest.
