đ«đ· Le Pagase - Montreal's Cozy & Affordable French Gem! âš
đ Le Pagase, Montreal This charming French bistro was the first proper meal of our 2023 Canada tripâand we still dream about it! đ„đ· đœïž Why It's Special: âą Homestyle portions (huge!), fair prices, and warm service. âą BYOW (bring your own wine)âstaff happily uncorked ours! âą Book ahead (itâs tiny and always packed). đ„ What We Devoured: Starters: đź Profiteroles au Boeuf BraisĂ© et ChĂšvre âą Beef-stuffed puff pastry with goat cheese = savory heaven. 𩱠Foie Gras (+$8 with bread) â âą Silky, rich, unforgettableâthe star of the meal! đ Escargot âą Garlic-butter bliss (classic done right). Mains: đ Plat-Agneau (Lamb Chop) âą Tender, herby, juicyâno gamey taste. đŠ Venison âą Gamey but balanced with a berry glaze. Desserts: đź CrĂšme BrĂ»lĂ©e â âą Crackly caramel + creamy custard = perfection. đ« Mourir de Chocolat âą Death-by-chocolate (in the best way). đ Final Thoughts: âą No dish disappointedâfoie gras and crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©e are irreplaceable. âą Hidden in a residential area (GPS is your friend!). #MontrealFrench #BYOW #FoieGrasLove #CozyBistro #FoodMemories #BudgetFineDining
