I chose the seafood entrée, which turned out to be a mistake. After speaking with several others who ordered the same dish, it seemed that we all had a similar experience. The clams and mussels did not taste particularly fresh, and some even contained sand. I wish I had ordered the duck instead, as it appeared to be a much better choice. I ended up eating not much of my main course because of the seafood quality.

Our waitresses recommendations were fire. We enjoyed: Complementary bread: it was soft on inside and appropriately crunchy but not overly so on the outside. Plus two huge pieces cut into 4 pieces individually. Beef tartare: at 20 cad it was a little pricy for how much you got but the taste was great and I'm a fan of comte cheese. Plus it didn't have capers which imo overwhelms tartares. Duck with carrot: as a Chinese person I've had my share of duck but this might be the best duck I've ever had in my life. The texture and cook on it was awesome! First it came with three pieces of breast. It was the perfect cook, not over like most of the places I've had duck. Then the leg had the perfect crispy fatty skin to meat ratio. Yum yum this is a can't miss dish here Burger: husband got this. I took a bite. It had a nice smoke to it and was perfectly medium rare. I was too distracted by my duck to analyze it further. Raspberry jelly for dessert: as the waitress had mentioned, it was light and a perfect sweet but tart bite. Was great! Would come here again, we had l'express earlier in this trip and place carmin blows that place out of the water.

I had such an exquisite dining experience here.

Sitting at the counter gives you an intimate view into everything happening in the kitchen. The energy was fast-paced and precise--it honestly felt like I was inside an episode of The Bear. The chef curated an incredible five-course tasting, and the sommelier paired each course with wines that complemented everything perfectly. I won't even try to list every dish because I honestly don't remember them all. The menu isn't fixed, and I imagine each experience is a little different. I was too busy enjoying every bite and soaking in the experience to focus on memorizing details. Ken took exceptional care of me from start to finish, making sure I was comfortable and that every course met the moment. The chef also came over to chat, which made the experience feel even more personal. The bar was already high, and Marcus exceeded it.

The meal started with caviar on a latke that was crispy on the outside and creamy inside. Next was a bluefin tuna tartare with wasabi cream and radishes, this dish was beautiful and had the perfect balance of textures. Our third dish was a caramelized scallop with a dairy free hollandaise sauce, the sauce was tart and absolutely delicious. The next dish was the stand out for me, steamed cod with the most amazing vegetables--this was absolute perfection! The last dish was a cherry sorbet inside a vanilla meringue cup which was so pretty! Really appreciated this addition, as finding dairy free and gluten free desserts can be challenging. Absolutely recommend this experience. Thank you for a wonderful meal! Also a note, we had breakfast at this restaurant as well and everything was great. The chia pudding is amazing! There are dairy free and gluten free options for breakfast!

He gladly took us for a walk to the William Gray hotel. I Love meeting people who friendly to outsiders! The rooftop was extremely busy with other F1 fans. I grabbed a bar seat and my friend stood beside. We quickly struck up conversation with other guests and order glasses of wine. Neither of us were starving but I always order oysters when on the menu. As soon as the bar tender brought the tray I noticed the shells were dry . The type of oyster was not deep belly but none the less don't lose all the wonderful juice when shucking! The first oyster I tasted also had a significant piece of shell.When the bartender came round for more wine I explained I was not interested in the rest of the oysters. She apologized and brought another order that were not dry. We really appreciated her hospitality. Perche is a chic and lovely spot to enjoy city and water views when in Montreal.

There was a nicely selected set of local beers on the menu. We had a few and they were great. I won't detail them as I think the selection changes routinely. It was tough to decide what to get. I was poutine-curious but was unsure about the foie gras gravy. Andrew ordered the poutine with the duck confit. He loved it and said it was among the best poutine he has had. I went for the traditional mussels as Andrew said this is a thing to get in Montreal, they will do it well. He was right, the bowl was huge and the mussels and sauce were excellent. The only thing I would change is I like a baguette with mussels more than fries so if that is an available substitution I would be all in. I loved this place, I would go back again when I return to Montreal.
