It's currently grilled cheese month, so we each got the grilled cheese of the week, which came with a side of fries, and a drink. I got a mango monkey and it was delicious! I didn't really taste the alcohol. It just tasted like a cool, refreshing mango juice. The grilled cheese was delicious as well! It had goat cheese, arugula and sun dried tomatoes. The flavours worked very well together. The staff was helpful and attentive and they're the ones who suggested my drink when I asked for something "fruity and doesn't taste like alcohol". However, I felt like they were just a little pushy about selling alcohol. They asked us if we wanted another drink 3-4 times. Good service? Pushy? I'm not sure, but they were quite nice though! We will definitely be back at some point to try their regular menu items!

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!

I visited Montréal Plaza for a birthday dinner, and overall it was a memorable experience. The…read moreservice was excellent, the dishes were beautifully presented and elegant, and the drinks were absolutely fabulous. The birthday surprise the staff put together was a really thoughtful touch and made the evening feel special. That said, there were a couple of things that kept the experience from being a perfect 10/10. I had hoped to meet the manager to personally compliment the team, but I was simply told she wasn't available. I understand that managers can be busy, but I left feeling like my appreciation wasn't important, and that put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Also, while every dish we had was delicious and expertly prepared, the portions were quite small. After spending over $100 for the two of us, we both left still feeling hungry. Despite those disappointments, the quality of the food, cocktails, service, and birthday celebration were all outstanding. With a little more attention to guest interactions and portion sizes, this would easily be a five-star experience.

Perhaps this setting is how I ended up at Montreal Plaza while we are on a family trip with my two kids. Remember, it's not easy to find a 'nice' restaurant that welcomes kids, especially one that is ranked number 13 out of Canada's top 100 (I might be wrong, but I feel like it's easier to find these places in Montreal than Toronto). I've never been a fan of fusion places. Montreal Plaza is no exception. They fall into the typical category of 'fusion' restaurants, that 'fuse' for the sake of fusing. We were recommended by the server to get 6-10 items. The appetizers we got included the monk fish liver, confit trout aspic, mini squid and tomato and whelks miso. Visually the appetizers looked good, but from a taste profile standpoint, they really didn't do it for me. Whatever they did with the monk fish liver made it less fishy upon the first bite, but gradually the usual fishiness is back. I'm not sure what they are trying to achieve here, but it's still a dish not meant for people who don't like fish taste. I'm ok with it because I like monk fish liver, but I like the traditional Japanese way way better. Confit trout was basically raw trout jelly. It was alright. Mini squid and tomato is a plate of 6 tiny squids. There's some char to them, but I expected stronger umami taste from them. Whelks miso lacked miso taste, but was pleasant. The dish felt like a fusion version of escargot with a slight crunch on top of the whelks. Some pieces of the whelks were over cooked. As you can see I was not impressed by the appetizers. The main courses were equally uninspiring. Our main courses included the fluke beurre butter and braised beef and strawberries. The fish was cooked well in the Fluke and beurre blanc dish. The fish was flaky and tender. However, the beurre blanc had an 'interesting' umami taste that potentially remind people of mild wet hockey gear. It's not my cup of tea, but I can understand why some people may enjoy it. It's an acquired taste just like things like blue cheese and durian. Braised beef and strawberries were ok, but the amount of braised beef was pitiful. Sauce tasted good, but I couldn't pick up on the all dress in the sauce. The marrow made the sauce very heavy and the bits of strawberries were not enough to neutralise the heaviness. The dish would be better off if it came with a rice or some sort of carbs. On its own, a bit over the top imo. Bread was also served with the meal or at least one of the dishes. Wouldn't say it's anything special. Service was good and they were very diligent in topping up water. Eventually during our wait for food, they did bring my kids a few crayons and a few plastic animals to play with. I'm having a really hard time understanding why they are anywhere near top 100 in Canada, even when I try to squint real hard, I just cannot picture it based on my experience there. I regret wasting a dinner slot on Montreal Plaza while I was in Montreal.
