Hotel dining is usually as predictable as a rainy Tuesday in the Cotswolds. You go in expecting'very okay' food, & at La Palma, that's exactly what you get. It's solid, dependable, & won't leave you questioning your life choices. But the real reason to go isn't the menu-it's the marvelous incompetence of the bar.
?I happen to like Port. It's the drink of kings, retired colonels, & people who have given up on the idea of waking up without a headache. I saw a Port-based cocktail on the menu &, using the flawless logic of a man who knows what he wants, I assumed that if they had it in a cocktail, they had it in a bottle. So, I asked for a Port.
?
?The bartender, however, clearly decided that my request was far too simple. In a magnificent display of linguistic confusion, he didn't bring me a glass of fortified wine; he brought me a Porto Sour.
?Normally, when a man asks for a drink & receives a science experiment in a glass, there is a scene. But this... this was different. It was the'best mistake ever.' It was as if the bartender had looked into my soul & realized I didn't actually want what I'd asked for. It was so good, in fact, that I immediately ordered another one.
So ?if you are in Montreal for business & need to impress someone without the risk of a disastrous meal, La Palma is a safe bet. But my advice? Don't bother with the menu. Just go to the bar, look confused, & hope the bartender makes another'mistake.'
I have stayed at the AC Marriott downtown Montréal over many years. I frequent the lounge bar, & I must say that the staff is exemplary in their service & knowledge of cocktails. I am a Tanqueray dirty martini afficionado, & it is always consistent & presented perfectly chilled. Dinner was the tuna steak. Beautiful presentation, perfectly cooked, & the portion was just right. I enjoyed the mango cheesecake for dessert. In all, I highly recommend the European flavor of the hotel & the congenial staff.
Spent a delightful evening with Theo at the bar with beautiful music & perfect cocktails!
