| - I go to Montreal twice a year for the day for shopping. As much as I love the city and the shopping at Simon's, I love to source a new place for an indulgent lunch. This year I stumbled on this place, and with a $12 CA cab ride arrived here, alone, ipad in hand.
The owner seated me and offered apologies for the all french menu. He returned for an interpretation, but alas while I don't speak french, I do read food french.
The setting was neat and small, it's obvious that the "in crowd" has found this place. The patrons were as neat and pretty as the setting. The menu is a plate composed of choice of starter and entree. I had the salad fraiche which was like a healthy slaw of fresh greens. Marvelously fresh and nice. The bread and 6 choice condiments, served along side, crashed my slow carb diet. Awesome touch.
My entree was the lamb chili of sorts wrapped in a chard leaf. It was served with broccoli, carrots and a mustard parsnip mash. The entree was ample and nice, though the leaf was hard to cut through, had it been steamed it might have been better. Service was very European, and the wine selection was nice and my Alacante was awesome with the lamb.
Nice job, love to try the fish and chips and the fries on the table next to me looked awesome.
