☔ Restaurant Parapluie | Montreal’s Overhyped Dining Experience? 🤔✨

📍 Restaurant Parapluie, Montreal After seeing rave reviews online, we finally snagged a last-minute reservation—but left wondering: Why the hype? 🍽️ Our Order ($175 for 2): 🦪 Oysters: • Fresh but ordinary (no mignonette magic). 🥩 Beef Tartare: • Decent, but forgettable (where’s the wow factor?). 🐟 Trout: • Perfectly cooked, but under-seasoned. 🍤 Scallops: • Seared just right—the only standout. 🍟 Fries: • Hot & crispy (but… it’s just fries). 🍸 Cocktails: • "Signature" = basic (skip and order wine). ⏳ Timing Woes: • 2-hour slot cut to 1 hour (we called ahead, but still rushed). • Parking nightmare (budget extra time to circle). 🌟 Silver Lining: • Cozy, moody ambiance (good for low-expectation dates). #MontrealEats #Overrated #MehDining #FoodieRealityCheck
