| - The name is a bit odd, but given that they don't serve traditional tapas, it's probably fitting because when you start reading the tapas menu, and don't see the traditional spanish fare you have a confused look.
They served a variety of cuisines, but seemed to specialize in Fois Gras and Tartars.
The service was excellent. Had no issues waiting for a table, they even made extra room for us on the patio.
To drink, we had the sangria. Absolutely amazing. We didn't go for the XXX version which contained an obscene amount of alcohol, but what we had was perfect. My wife also had the Lychee Supreme which was a sort of like a Lychee Sangria made with a Gewurztraminer wine, and I had the Caipirinha, both of which were very fresh and fantastic.
For dinner, we had the following:
a. Saghanaki - Pan fried Greek cheese with flaming Ouzo. Amazing.
b. Sweet Potato Fries with a black truffle mayo. I loved the sweet potato fries. Not overly greasy, and went perfectly with the mayo.
c. Grilled Garlic scented Shrimp served with a watercress salad: Amazing! Cooked perfectly, and the watercress salad hit the spot.
d. Salmon Tartar with wasabi crunch: Phenomenal.
e. For desert, we had the creme-brule trio. This was really excellent. Three ramekins with amaretto, milk and chocolate creme brule. My favorite was the one with the amaretto. Not overly rich or sweet, but just had a great crust and a perfect custard.
Really great service and excellent food. Perfect end to a fantastic day in Montreal.
