| - Oh la la! Best dining moment in Montreal. We went there for early lunch, (Read: How to do expensive places on a budget). Decor was very spacious and modern, yet still held a warm & intimate feel. Service was outstanding, top notch.Our waiter was very attentive & informative.
3 course menu for lunch, 26-30$
-Appetizers:
Foie gras mousse, ground cherry, nuts and mesclun (fois gras was too buttery and rich for my taste, but it went along perfectly with the thin honey bread & nuts)
Rabbit terrine, salad, croutons and mustard vinaigrette (delicious)
-Entrees:
Leg of lamb, merguez, rosemary sauce, pesto, garlic purée and eggplant stuffed with peperonata. (my favorite dish! Everything on that plate was perfection!)
My fiance went with the plat du jour, a braised oxtail, delish!
-Dessert:
Biscuit Joconde, dark and milk chocolate ganache, nut liqueur, florentine and pistachio
Cheese cake, white chocolate, blueberry, tarragon sugar, yogurt and blueberry ice cream
Every course came with a choice of wine. I opted for only the White tha came with my app. Good pairing. We also sat in view of the 7,000 wine bottle cellar and did some great people watching. Also, good thing about a lunch time reservation is the choice to be casually dressed up rather than full blown dressy.
Overall, the dishes were creative, delicious, and had a beautiful presentation. Left with full, happy stomachs.
