My Au Cinquieme Peche's dining experience is just complete opposite of Au-Pied-de-Cochon's.
I called twice regarding my reservations and my calls were always answered promptly by a nice gentleman who is exceptionally accommodating.
I love ACP already right when I walked into this cozy, rustic farm house setting... with no menu aside from what on the board. The same gentlemen being our waiter offers to take my jacket... yes please!
The vibe here is laid back and no people rushing around... the setting is intimate and quiet with mostly locals...Service is attentive and sincere... definitely not a "tourist" scene. I like that!
ACP's menu has limited choices but what we ordered seems to all nicely plated, prepare with care with the local ingredients.
Saumon fumé - $11
- "Smoking" Salmon Sashimi nicely presented on a smoking vent
Ris de Veau (Veal Sweetbread) - $31
- Deep Fried Dumplings Stuffed Sweetbread
Cheese cake et confiture de prunes - $8
- I never really like plums.. but this is delicious... tart of the cheesecake goes well with the light sourness of plums
The staffs are just so knowledgeable with every aspect of the menu and wine list... This is one of the time I enjoyed listening to my waiter goes on and on about the ingredients and the preparation of each dish... (the accent yes!!)
Au Cinquieme Peche is just a perfect ending to my weekend in Montreal.. and one of the place I don't mind a repeat visit... Really, they have "seal' on the menu...
