I stumbled upon Cinquieme Peche last night with a friend. As we were strolling in the Mont Royal neighborhood, it started pouring heavily. We ran into the first place that looked reasonable, mostly to avoid the rain. Our lack of planning, as it turns out, paid off. Cinquieme Peche is a small, highly imaginative French brasserie serving a limited amount of starters and entrees off a chalkboard menu. For our starters, we had the seal (yes, the kind that clap and do tricks) tartare and a lobster broth with scallops, mussels and pancetta. The tartare was interesting, the meat itself is fairly bland but the texture was pleasant and went well with the capers. My lobster broth was subtle but pleasant. As for the mains, I had the filet served with broccoli rabe, escargot and gnochi. An unexpected combination but was perfect. My friend had the sea breem, seared on a pan and finished off in the oven. It was served with artichoke puree and roasted fennel and a light tomato sauce. Outstanding. The owners, two brothers, are from France and have been operating this restaurant for 7 years now. Although it is expensive, I would highly recommend it.
