We decided to come to Projet Pilote after bailing the poutine line because it was so long. I’m so happy we did! When we arrived, we requested to be seated at the bar which was accommodated so kindly by Jeanne. When we were seated, we were greeted by Tim, the bartender. I was craving a dirty martini, and they happened to have one featured on their bar menu! It was a no-brainer and so deliciously made and elevated from a “regular” dirty martini. The spirits were fat washed in bacon fat which gave the drink a unique depth, but without overpowering smokiness. We also had the daiquiri which was absolutely incredible with rhum and the addition of green chartreuse. We will be thinking about it for a long time. We also got some bites to share: the asparagus, frites, salad, and Argentine chorizo. All more absolutely delicious and much more elevated and complex than the menu implied. We finished with a shot of Fernet with Tim :)! Definitely don’t miss out on Projet Pilote, especially if you love creative and delicious cocktails.
