Here in the Plateau Mont-Royal, this historical bistro has been serving happy diners for several decades. Founded by theater enthusiasts, it has become a must for night owls (last orders at 12:30am). A large Parisian-style counter lit by Art Deco lamps, burgundy walls, mirrors, and black-and-white tiles make for an inviting decor. The handwritten menu promises culinary authenticity. Chef Jean-François Vachon masters the French classics: celery remoulade, chicken liver pâté, smoked herring, beef tartare, veal kidney in mustard sauce, and grilled salmon with lentils and spinach. For dessert, don't miss the maple profiteroles and the île flottante with caramel. Smiling and efficient service along with carefully selected Burgundy wines and Québec vintages complete the experience.
