Dreaming of Quebec's Heavenly Baked Snails for Three Years 🐌✨
Let me tell you, Toronto just hasn't delivered on the baked snail front like Quebec has. These snails are the stuff of dreams—big, juicy, and swimming in a luscious mix of butter, parsley, and garlic. They're so perfectly cooked, you won't even need a squeeze of lemon to mask any odors. And the best part? Once you've devoured those snails, grab some bread and soak up every last drop of that heavenly sauce. It's a flavor explosion that lingers long after the last bite. Now, don't let the $$$$ rating on Google Maps scare you off. A meal here, complete with a glass of wine, an appetizer, a main course, and dessert, will set you back about $150. Worth every penny, trust me. We've been back three times, and each visit, we dive into the seafood 🦐. Why? Because while Toronto has its steak game on lock 🥩, this place is all about the ocean's bounty. One of the coolest things? Your server prepares most of the main dishes right at your table. Talk about fresh! The shrimp 🍤 is bathed in a rich lobster bisque, and the snow crab comes with parsley butter and hollandaise. The sides are a constant—carrots, asparagus, pea shoots, and rice. All delicious, but if you ask me, the shrimp steals the show with its firm, juicy goodness. Dessert time! We kicked things off with the Black Forest Cake on our first visit. Heads up: it's a sugar bomb! I never thought I'd have a face-off with a dessert, but here we are. Sweetness aside, it's a treat worth trying. 📍 Le Continental 26 Rue Saint-Louis, Québec, QC G1R 3Y9 #QuebecEats #QuebecOldTown #BakedSnails
