| - I was so attracted to Boris Bistro the minute we walked by on our first night out in Montreal. It looked like an old building that had nothing left but the facade, where through a gate you can see a courtyard full of chairs, tables and giant umbrellas confined by the two tall buildings on each side. The night is serene, lights twinkling, if I had to pick a perfect summer dining setting, this would be it.
So the second night we tried to retrack our steps to find Boris Bistro again, which was somewhat difficult without having read the name the first night. When we found it, we were delighted to hear that they had available tables.
I had the trout salad with walnuts and spinach, and my husband had the home made parpadelle with chorizo. Both under $20. My dish was light and yet flavorful. The fish came in a good portion and was quite filling. The chorizo was really tasty and the parpadelle was rich but not disgusting.
Despite being in a hurry, we opted to try the maple creme brulee for dessert. It was delicious, although I couldn't really tell the maple taste in it.
It's also a fun place to people watch. Large groups of friend and people on their first dates, drinking lots of cocktails and having a good time. A great place to dine on a summer night.
