On our trip to Montreal, my boyfriend and I gave ourselves the pleasure of one nice fancyish night out, and this was our go to from all the amazing write ups we've read. We were not disappointed!
We made the reservation a week before, and the only times they had were either 5:30 or 10:30, we opted for the late night meal instead of the early bird special. This was a much better choice! The place was buzzing with happy customers and a delightful staff.
The food, alright, I can't even talk about it still because I can't find anything like this in New York yet that isn't unreasonably expensive and too uppity for my taste. But I will give it a go. The pickled beef tongue is still my favorite dish I've had in a really long time. I tried beef tongue for the first time a few weeks ago and now I'm hooked. It was so moist and the bread was the perfect crunch to the tenderness. We also had the beef tartare, whose presentation in itself was beautiful, and the zucchini flowers. Now the main course, we obviously had to try the Duck in a Can, and I was not mad about that. It was moist and delicious and I love a good presentation of food.
If I'm ever back in Montreal, which I hope to be, I will be back and I will eat all of your duck in a can and more.
