| - Was told by some locals that Joe Beef was a must have while we were in town, unfortunately, we were unable to make a reservation and attempted to squeeze ourselves into the Liverpool House instead by sitting at the bar. I'm more of a "sit at the bar" type of gal myself, so had no trouble with this suggestion. Our only mistake while here was that we ordered wine by the glass instead of the bottle, because we eventually drank the whole bottle.
As for food, we started with the Foie gras, which I was super worried about. My boyfriend urged me to give it a try and I actually really enjoyed the dish. For our entree, we opted for the Lobster Spaghetti, and I would swear on my unborn child that this is the best seafood pasta dish I have ever enjoyed (I'm from Florida, I know seafood). Honestly, I can't remember if we got dessert or not because of the wine. But, I do recall that our bartender was so friendly and helpful.
Near the end of the night, after dessert, he asked if we wanted coffee. I never drink coffee but figured a cappuccino might help get me out of my seat. When asked if I needed sugar, I replied: Bring me all your sugar. He brought about 7 full jars of sugar, it was a you need to be there moment. At the end, he gave us a shot on the house 'cause he thought we were humorous. All in all, this was our best meal in Montreal and I will absolutely return the next time I'm in the city.
