I know that it is hard to go wrong finding a good restaurant in Montreal, but some places are just better than others.\n\nA co-worker, who lives in Montreal, took me here on a Tuesday night. He told me that we would likely never get in on a weekend night. Based on the food, I can see why.\n\nThe location is in Old Montreal, which can have touristy places than border on bad food. The decor is also not quite as fancy as the four $$$$ that Yelp lists this place. \n\nIn fact, I would not call this a $$$$ place . The menu changes quite a bit, but there were plenty of meals under $40.\n\nService was helpful and attentive. Recommendations on wine, entrees and dessert were excellent:\n-Wine list is good... heavy on French and European - with lots of price points covered.\n-I had a simple mescalin salad with dressing. Other than the fact that it was enough for two, it was a great start to the meal.\n-My dining companion had the tartar mixed with beets. He said the beets gave it an interesting flavor and texture.\n-I had the scallops. Presentation was beautiful and the various textures/flavors were to die for.\n-Finally, we shared Chocolate Bavarois. There has never been a better combination of cocoa!\n\nThe last point I would like to make on this excellent establishment is that the chef must like foie gras. I counted no less than 6 menu items that contained it. The amuse bouche had it. My scallops were flavored with it. At the beginning of the meal, we remarked that we thought the butter was flavored with it (it isn't - it was simply butter with olives in it). This chef really knows how to cook!
