    If you are in the Downtown or Golden Square Mile area of Montreal make this restaurant a stop. The food, service and atmosphere is outstanding. Our server Antonio (Tony) was just wonderful. His service was outstanding. We started the petite plateau and cocktails ( excellent Martini) then moved onto escargot for a hot appetizer. The plateau consisting of Prince Edward Island Oysters, Shrimp and Salmon Tartar was extremely fresh and beautifully presented. The Escargot that followed perfect. Mains were a special of Filet Migon cooked medium rare to perfection accompanied by roasted mushrooms and pomme puree and a Salmon with a lemon butter sauce from the standing menu paired with spaghetti sqush and medly of vegetables. Again ,Salmon was cooked to perfection. There is a wide selection of wines to choose from although some may think their price point is too high. Classic French Bistro desserts are offered. The Creme Brulee hit the mark as the ubiquitous offering can have a lot of variation. Definitely a repeat visit warrented as well as a recommendation to do so for others An outstanding experience.
