Tai and I went to Montreal for the weekend of Memorial Day. We drove up Saturday morning, checked into our Airbnb, and started wandering around a bit. We found a poke place on Crescent for dinner.
And it was okay. Mine was overwhelmingly green. With loads of kale.
Sunday we brunched at O'Thym.
Their amuse is a yogurt with homemade granola that was really good.
My chai.
Tai got some sort of salmon dish with a poached egg. Those cake-like things were really weird.
I got their 2 eggs plate, with blood pudding. Because why not? Very filling.
I had planned to go to the biodome. But the line was insane. We later found out it was free museum day. So instead, we walked around St. Laurent and got dessert at Juliet Et Chocolat.
Dinner was at Montreal Plaza on St. Hubert. I was iffy on this, because, well, who names a restaurant Montreal Plaza?
Juice.
Chinatown razor clam - kind of wish we got the other clam dish we were eyeing. They are serious when they say Chinatown. It wasn't bad - it was my least favorite though. The sauce was overwhelming compared to the rest of the dishes we had.
Scallop and strawberries? So light and refreshing and delicious.
Crab and berry salad. Also light and refreshing and delicious.
Meat tartare + crispy - genius. I'm not even sure what the crispy is, but it's genius.
Carrot cake - this was a bit overwhelming in flavor. Good, but perhaps too much and slightly too sweet.
Overall, a really great meal. Wonderful service. Amazing food. And good drinks. :)
Our drive back was, well, interesting. Our GPS sucks and told us to go the ferry route. Hah. Tai was not too pleased. We ended up brunching at Penny Cluse Cafe in Burlington, VT.
Tai had the chicken special, which he loved. And finished.
Gingerbread pancakes - so comforting
And then we were home.
