"2017-12-16T00:00:00"^^ . "Restaurant Miel was my favourite discovery this year. This quaint industrial chic venue located in Pointe St Charles is nicely decorated with its dark walls, light wood tables, industrial lighting and comfortable sofa seats, and offers a great laidback feel where you can high dine at an affordable price. \n\nWe started with cocktails; I chose the cosmopolite martini, which was light and refreshing, made with tangy ginger and cranberry. My foodie group and I ordered an array of dishes to share and I can honestly say that everything was spot on! We tried the artichoke dish with lardo, broccoli with almonds and pear, the beet tartelette, duck hearts with string beans and cr\u00E8me fresh, duckling with squash and apple, the homemade gnocchi with poached egg, and scallop risotto. Every dish was spot on in terms of preparation, perfectly seasoned, incredible flavours and texture and the portions were more than generous; we couldn't help to take a doggy bag home. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert but the choices were soooo tempting. The wine selection was great, offering a great selection by the glass as well. \n\nThe service was more than pleasant, from the moment we where greeted and throughout the service, our wait staff was attentive and personable. A thorough explanations the menus from cocktails to the food was presented and special attention for dietary changes, the restaurant was greatly accommodating. \n\nOverall, this resto made it to my top five in Montreal, and I will gladly return to try their other plates and deserts too. Hopefully, brunch will be on its way soon too!"^^ . "0"^^ . . "5"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . . .
