  • It was OK - for the prices and the what the menu was said to offer, I expected better. We were told right off the bat that the main courses were small, so they suggested you order 2 per person......... that threw me off right away because main courses already were priced around the $20 mark. Yes, they have a tasting menu, but when you're not a pasta eater, or too keen of red meat, you prefer to make your own choices. They gave us bread to start, which at least was warm, but was basically a baguette. My husband had to request olive oil because the butter tasted like nothing, really. So between the 2 of us, we started with the Bison Kofta... basically 3 meatballs on a chickpea puree. Absolutely nothing special and made me nervous for the meal to come. I hate when you go to a new restaurant and read good reviews and then the meal starts off on the mediocre/bad side of things. Then we had the foie gras, which was 2 small round pieces of cold foie gras, 2 toasts, and a teaspoon of fig marmalade. This was the first time I didn't really enjoy foie gras... it's supposed to be a treat. But served cold and looking like liver pate, we were a little disappointed. Especially with how small the portion was. Cannot believe this was in the main meal portion of the menu. Do not order this as your main, you will leave starving. The fig marmalade was good though, it went nicely with the foie gras. But again, would've preferred it warm or pan fried. Then we had the sweetbreads and duck magret. The duck... mehh.. again, I've had better and so have you most likely. The sweetbreads were delicious though - I'm a big fan of sweetbreads so it's difficult to do this wrong. Both were served atop of a portion of creamy parmesan polenta which was probably the tastiest part of the meal. But again, the portions were small to OK. Again, at a restaurant like this, you either expect to be blown away with the taste, or leave completely satisfied. There was nothing innovative about their meal, no flavor combinations you haven't tried before. Vertige is not a dinner destination I will go for again - in Montreal, you can find a better spot for a $100 dinner.
