this restaurant has been in business for decades in the rapid come-&-go rhythm of Montreal restaurants, a sure mark of quality & good management. from the first step into this lovely restaurant, the smells of delicious food invade your nose & head & all of a sudden, you're STARVING! i always order the tasting menu, sometimes the vegan platter (like last night), sometimes the meat one. they are both savoury & delicious, wrapped in enjera, if there's anything left, i HAVE to take it home for a later meal. The service is elegant & friendly, & the place, even on a Wednesday night, is often packed. reservations highly recommended to avoid disappointment. they now have a terrasse, which on a warm summer night will be a treat.
