Un petit restaurant exceptionnel.

Une cuisine qui réchauffe le coeur dans un joli cadre intimiste, en face d'un petit parc. La serveuse est très douce & souriante, & m'a aidé à choisir mon plat, qui était absolument divin. Je n'avais pas mangé quelque chose qui ait autant plu à mes papilles depuis longtemps.

On ressent l'élaboration des plats à chaque bouchée, que la cuisine met vraiment du coeur dans ses plats, & c'est très réconfortant & rassasiant.
Les prix des plats sont vraiment raisonnables, & ça fait du bien de pouvoir si bien manger végé dans un restaurant. Le seitan croustillant convaincra le plus fervent viandard à coup sûr.

Le tout dans une ambiance parfaite, avec une belle sélection de musique qui n'est pas diffusée trop fort.

Je recommande vivement ce restaurant & j'espère y retourner avant mon départ de Mtl.

Nous avions pris un Pad thaï Tao-hu, très bon, & un Ped Yang Panang absolument délicieux. Nous avons aussi pris une boisson chacun & un dessert pour deux tellement nous avions bien mangé.

Merci beaucoup 🫶

INSANEEEE Thai Food. Every dish was packed with flavor & I was blown away by the texture & flavor of the duck. The peanut sauce in the dumplings was so good, we were scraping the sides to finish it. Would HIGHLY recommend. Dare I say, the best Thai Food I've ever had (aside from Thailand).
