memroable experience here - definitely worth the trip and having the power out - yes its old montreal - and it was summer - made it special. we tried calling to get reservations but it seems like you have to get them at the right time - we got them through the conceirge at the hotel we were staying for the week - for the next day at the bar - it seems it was just luck but we got in - so i'm guessing maybe calling a little bit before they open around 6-6:30 is the best option.
the tomato salad. i can't say how the other reviewers were spot on.. fresh ingridents and the dill, fried cheddar, armenian cucumbers, and heriloom tomatoes - and believe it or not the dressing is white baslamic vinegar - just says allot about how important it is to eat fresh, seasonal, and simple.
i had the duck breast with truffled peaches and foie gras - the spanish chorizo gave it an added and appreciated complexity.
do try the bloody ceasar with the crab claw - the sweetest crab i had in ages ... a great appertif to start the evening.
the staff is great here - they are busy but they were able to make this a very memorable dinner. of course its about the food - so kudos to the kitchen staff for producing these dishes to perfection.
being a popular desitnation in Vieux Montreal - there's good company with the other diners here especially at the bar.
keep the address handy and if you have GPS - you'll be able to spot this place as its very non descript.
