| - I can't believe what I'm reading in the two star reviews. This place is a real gem. Great food, service, price and location.
I had Coq au Vin, which was probably the best prepared chicken I've ever had. The manager ordered it after we walked in (my mother stalled for a long time before ordering), so I figured it had to be good. The potato ladkes were delicious. Vegetables perfect. The sauce was amazing and the chicken tender off the bone. Perfect. The buns were crispy and hot, the mediterranean salad was au naturel with olive oil. Very tasty.
My mother had their Sicilian pizza, which had salmon and scallops on it with mussels still on the shell. She said it was excellent. I didn't try it, I was too stuffed.
The bill came and it was extremely reasonable. The prices ranged from $12 to $14 each for our meals for huge portions. Service with a smile.
The front windows of the restaurant look out on beautiful and romantic St-Paul in Old Montreal, facing 18th century architecture. The snow was falling on the cobblestones.
The only thing I could call attention to would be the decor, which could use a reno, but it was fine. My mother liked it though, so who knows. I disagree with those below who say it looks like an Applebee's or Denny's. It's much more upscale looking than that.
