| - Exhausted and depressed by the number of overrated, mundane, and often questionable restaurants in Montreal, I was astonished by this gem. Every little bit of the decor, atmosphere, music and food was personalized and original without being over the top. I had their:
MUSHROOM LOVER
2 poached eggs on a leek bread-pudding,
creamy mushroom béchamel, pancakes,
almost mashed potatoes, fruit cup,
goat cheese tomato, baguette
CAN 13.95
Subtle and interesting flavors with great presentation. It is not haute cuisine, but it is convincing and authentic.
The service lacked any of the belligerent retro-attitude towards serving an English speaker, and was competent and attentive.
The value for money of La Cantine's pricing cannot be topped.
A recommendation without a singular reservation. Almost unimaginable.
