First off, by far the best restaurant we have been to in Montreal (thus far!) The service was exceptional and the staff very friendly. This is a cute and quaint spot located in Old Montreal. The ambience is charming and had a rustic feel to it. Our food journey, while we sat at the bar begins...
1. Amuse Bouche- Huitre and Foie Gras (Oysters)
Foie Gras topped with a coulis sauce and combined with the taste of the ocean was definitely worth it! Must try..
2. Paella
Squid, shrimp, scallop, morcilla, chorizo....all of these ingredients combined to give you the authentic spanish taste that will leave you wanting more..
3. Braised duck leg parmentier
Paired with a side of bay leaf and coriander scented salad. The pulled meat....beyond tender....topped with a thick layer of butternut squash and Foie Gras..absolutely amazing! The Foie Gras really enhanced the flavour of the meat and added a kick to the bite!
The drinks...
1) Pimm's Cub - wonderful flavours of the carribean, topped with pomegranate and fig.
2) Tsar - martini-like drink paired with rosemary, topped with caviar.
Would recommend this spot to anyone visiting old Montreal who enjoys an authentic experience!
