unreserved

While it would be disingenuous of me to suggest that I was doing nothing more than simply clarifying Agapes current situation, promotion (or pluggin')was really not my primary intention. I was replying to a posting that did not seem altogether precise. Having said this, Grill-it, your posting is appreciated and should you come by and find that what you fancy is not being offered “grilled”, be sure to ask for it that way and I am certain you will be accommodated All right, now that my disclaimer is out of the way Agapes is located at 3434 St-Denis Street, just North of Sherbrooke on the West side. Closed Sundays, open M-S from 5 p.m.

Lesley C: Thank you for the interest. The head chef at Agapes is Mr. Kaoui and the sous-chef Mr. Himmi has been by his side for the past two years. Both chefs have sound experience and excellent backgrounds. They have worked for Moroccan Cruise lines with postings on the Royal yacht used by the King of Morocco. Since his arrival in Montreal in the 80’s, Mr. Kaoui obtained his equivalence at l'Institut de tourisme et d'hotêllerie du Québec and worked in various hotels and restaurants among which the Hilton Dorval. mcmillan: Thanks for the good luck wishes. Though the menu does change each week, it can be described as Continental cuisine incorporating Mediterranean, French, Spanish and North African (Maghrebian) methods used to prepare our meats (venison, Angus), fish and fowl. carswell: We prefer a variant to definition II, a joyful feast promoting good feelings

I should like to disclose from the outset that I have a personal interest in Restaurant Agapes. I can assure everyone that the current management is both serious and dedicated to continuing the excellence that once graced the establishment when it was operated as Café Jongleux. The thought behind Agapes menu is to offer the highest quality cuisine without unnecessary price bloating. For the avoidance of doubt, I can further assure everyone that Agapes is far from “iffy”. The menu endeavours to be responsive to the freshest produce available in Montreal each week. This is why a portion of the menu changes every week. Finally, if by “iffy” the implication was that it might not be around tomorrow, all I can tell you is that a difficult decision was made to ensure that the shameful circumstances, which occurred under the Chorus management, would never happen again. In order to live up to my username, let me be even more candid. At the moment, the service at Agapes is not at the level it should be. However, I am confident that you would have a hard time finding better value for your money anywhere in Montreal. So, my only question is: any idea where to find quality servers?

Having worked and lived in Austria (Salzburg and Vienna) I can assure you that very few coffee-drinking-locals sip Segafreddo unless left with no alternatives. I agree with you completely – it is/was awful. I must disagree, however, that Austria and Hungary do not have excellent coffee. I credit their quality coffee with teaching me to enjoy coffee without sugar.
