Read moreÇa vaut pas la peine. We made reservations for dinner on a weeknight during Montreal à table. It's a small place and it was busy, so we thought this should be a hidden gem, given the reviews. Not so. I have never in my life waited so long to be served the tiniest portions of nothing special. And I've had the opportunity to experience several middle scale restaurants all over the city and the world. We ordered the table d'hôte here, and waited at least 30-40 mins between each course! By 10:45pm, I was falling asleep waiting for dessert. The place had thinned out, yet the serving staff spent about 20 extra minutes chatting leisurely with a customer. We had to get up and go inquire what happened to our dessert, to which they replied "Oh we forgot!". The food was about as unremarkable as the spartan decor, even though I appreciated their use of local ingredients. I have a hard time believing a 1-inch cube of boiled squash with a sprinkle of microgreens is worth $12. By the end I just wanted to leave, so I took my miniature carrot cake dessert to go, and actually had to eat another meal at home as I was still hungry (I'm usually satiated when I eat at restaurants and can't finish meals). I was also left with a disturbing impression of nepotism - there was definitely some favoritism playing out, and we were the only foreign customers in the entire place. Save your hard earned cash for a worthy restaurant. There are much better experiences in Montreal, like Bleu Caramel, Café...
Read moreOur hotel made a reservation for us at this off the tourist track restaurant. We split things family style. Appetizers: Fleur de courgette tempura (zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta, parmesan, lemon thyme, mushrooms and peppers)-delicious; asparagus with lobster and sauce of (very mild) curry and kefir; and last, and the surprise hit, croquette de canard (duck) confit with goat cheese, dill truffles and a carrots vinaigrette. Plats principaux (mains): half Cornish hen with salsa verde, grilled green onions, cherry tomatoes in chili oil (really an appetizer), scallops with miso butter, maitake mushrooms, cabbage and artichokes (my wife’s favorite); and agneau de Kamouraska: braised lamb, it’s jus, pistachios, cipollini onions formed into a brick with a side of parsley potatoes (my favorite). Nice wine list but my son and his fiancé had cocktails (also a hit) so my wife had an Alsatian pinot blanc-pinot gris blend and I an above average Côtes du Rhône. Service was slow but the staff (mostly Chloe) were nice. Didn’t order dessert since we had gone patisserie...
