| - Montrealers like their chicken- a la St Hubert, Au Coq and so many others.
Therefore, Gordon Ramsey's selection for Montreal to revamp a classic was perfect. And now, Gordon Ramsey has poutine in his repertoire!
Who knew this old BBQ Joint had turned all fancy? I decided to stop in for a weekday lunch on the request of a true Montrealite. There was a quick 20 minute wait to be seated in a booth.
The space is gorgeous. The look is Old, French, Country. Everything fits in with the look.
The staff were quick and old-fashioned as well. But they failed to talk up the best menu items, (making a point to tell me the crab in the crab and shrimp role is canned) and didn't adequately explain the fry options.
I ordered the shrimp and crab roll, despite the sub-par recommendation, served with house-made spicy chips.
The other folks at my table ordered the quarter chicken meal, served with fries. The confusion came from the fact that "Regular Fries = Spicy salted fries" and "Special fries = fries with regular salt". Make sense to you? Maybe if you've been going to Laurier BBQ for years you know that the regular fries are spicy???
Desserts were displayed in these gorgeous cases. But, I just didn't have room for it. Will definitely be back for a light dinner and dessert.
Highly recommended for anyone- to impress clients, with your baby/children, with your fellow ladies-who-lunch.
