A decent board game bar. I don't drink so I mainly come to these to eat and play games with…read morefriends. As opposed to Randolph's, this place doesn't have a cover charge. Instead, you have to order food (If you don't, it's an 8$ charge). They have these really cute menu's and quite a selection. Most options come with Dorito's so if you aren't a fan, that could be a bummer. I ordered the mac and cheese and it was just meh, wasn't very cheesy or tasty. It had Dorito bits inside that added unnecessary crunch and no flavour. My friend got the jumbo hot dog and she really loved hers. We played abalone, a Japanese strategy game, and some word association game. Abalone: kind of like checkers but with marbles Japanese strategy game: Chess but with limited moves that vary each game Word association game: It gives you a category and a letter, first one to find the word wins the card. This can be played forever. Our server was nice but he refused to speak english even though my friend really prefers english. So that was a bit annoying. When you enter, head for the tables on the left if you can. You'll be closer to the games and the tables are more suited to gaming (lighting). This place is basically separated into an area more for gaming and more for drinking. We mistakenly sat in the drinking section so the lighting was terrible and the table was uneven. Still enjoyed myself a lot!

Surely La Chronique is one of the best fine dining restaurants in Montreal! It is perhaps a bit…read moreless flashy than other heavyweights in town in terms of "luxury experience", but it is everything one could wish for in terms of food, free of unecessary distractions or stiffness. This restaurant is located on a charming section of avenue Laurier, and has a clean, modern design. The elongated dining room stretches from the streetside windows to the kitchen, where you can glimpse the chefs working at their stations. There is a fixed 5-course menu every month (wine pairing available) that showcases many seasonal and Canadian ingredients. This November, the amuse-bouche was scallop ceviche wonderfully refreshed by a dash of lime and heat. This was followed by a red tuna tartare, its fatty richness beautifully enhanced by the fragrance of the olive oil in the sauce vierge. Then came a delicate piece of seared halibut on a piece of charred leek, with articoke and, hidden, pureed celeriac. After was one of their signature dishes, fois gras quickly seared sitting on shredded duck with a broth of Peking duck. What a delicious aroma! Small pieces of matsutake with their characteristic flavour added novelty to the many layers of comforting flavours. The main course was a surdy portion of bison and little jewels here and there. The flavours played around wine and caramelized winter vegetables, their colours and textures reverberating between each others. Lastly came the dessert, a yogurt sorbet hidden beneath a chocolate mousse and a sturdy chocolate "mendiant". The portion was quite generous - the acidity of the raspberries and sorbet providing welcomed respite from all the chocolate. The pace of the meal was excellent, and the service kind and courteous (we got a nod from chef Marc de Canck as we left!). There is great confidence and joy in the cooking, which transpires in how high familiar ingredients are elevated. I was initially shocked at how little attention this restaurant attracted compared to its undeniable quality, but now I think it is because La Chronique is a secret jealously kept by its patrons. I would much rather come back here every month than to return a second time to many restaurants in town!

Everyone was very full after all the food. It's hard to pick a favourite dish because they were all so good. The service is very friendly and they take the time to explain the dishes as you get them and are very attentive. Lots of seating too so this place is absolutely ideal for big groups who wanna share food. If you have someone who has allergies or is vegan/vegetarian however, the tasting menu cannot be changed so that is a bummer. IfThey do have some vegetarian options in the sharing menu but not a lot so keep in mind to check with your group prior to picking this place if the sharing menu works for everyone. You can also definitely order the meals yourself and not go for the group menu but I found the group menu great because we got a taste of everything and we didn't have to worry about not having enough.
