Where to have your last meal in Montreal when some of the other great places you went on the trip are closed on Tuesday? Try something new! And we are very glad we gave La Chronique a try. Of course go with the tasting menu with the wine pairing because that is what we did and it was amazing! 5 courses was available the night we went. It appears that it changes looking at the other reviews (this is a good thing!) But we had a number of amazing and interesting dishes. And this was still after a week of having amazing dishes. The creativity of things in Mile End makes me so jealous! The sweet breads with foie gras, truffled polenta and roasted mushrooms is something I will be dreaming about for a while.
Service was excellent. The wine pairings worked beautifully and the waiter/somm was very excellent in explaining and talking about the wine without letting other things get away from him. And I was very impressed when a table came in after us with three kids and he still treated them in a very professional and delightful manner. Oh to be a kid who got to eat here!
Yes, it is pricy. But treat yourself, there is a lot of skill in putting things together and the wine list is fascinating. By doing the tasting menu with the pairing you get to sample some things that you might not have had a chance to do so.
