I came here with high expectations since a few of my friends really love this place, but unfortunately my experience didn’t quite match theirs, maybe they visited during a different menu. First off, the service was great. We came for a special occasion, and the staff were very sweet and thoughtful throughout. A few highlights: - My favourite dish was the first appetizer which was a strong start. - The risotto was enjoyable, with a nice Asian-inspired touch to the flavour. - The pork was good, nothing too wow - I was surprised that a bun the size of my palm with homemade butter (which wasn’t particularly memorable) counted as one full course. - The final picture was probably a palette cleanser before dessert. It was very icy - it felt a bit off to have this during deep winter. And unfortunately it numbed my mouth with acidity and smelled a bit like play dough. I couldn’t finish it. As others have mentioned, the menu felt very experimental - but for me, it wasn’t executed particularly well. Montreal has many excellent tasting menu options, and I’ve personally had better experiences elsewhere. That said, it’s possible I just happened to visit during an off menu.
