| - Simply amazing. Our waiter, Simone (not the owner, but he's worked there for 6 years!) explained the french menu in English to us very thoroughly, labeling each item and giving suggestions throughout. For starters, we had the foie gras mousse, brie cheese, and the fish cake, which came presented beautifully. This was perhaps the most memorable dish I had in my four-day stay in Montreal. I wish I had more, and the flavor was absolutely to die for. The wine pairing, also suggested by Simone, was perfect as well. My friend and I talked about it every meal afterward, saying how it doesn't compare to what we had at Chez Simone. Like, seriously, it was one of the best meals I've had. The greek salad was equally refreshing and good. The dessert THE DESSERT. The roasted apple was A M A Z I N G. The apple was perfectly sweet and the berry sauce (some rare berry that grows in northern Canada) was the perfect amount of sweet to finish off the meal. The only thing we weren't amazed by (but still loved) was the chicken. I think it was cuz we were so full from the starter, but it was still amazing. It's just hard to LOVE chicken. The service was attentive and detailed, and we really didn't want to leave in the end. The price, considering it's Montreal, was not bad at all. Granted, we split everything, but the same thing would have easily cost double. Amazing amazing. Is the first place I'd go to if I ever went back to Montreal. Real highlight of our trip!!!
