On our last day in Montreal, I ventured out to Jean Talon, one of my favorite markets anywhere.
For our final dinner, we wanted to dine early, as we were out to get an early start the following morning.
Mon Lapin it was, for our 2nd time. I'd seriously dine here biweekly if I were local. Reservations were barely secured, by playing the online game 30 days prior.
The wine list is extensive, though once again we chose to sample various glasses, as recommended by our delightful server (s):
It's a lovely room. I particularly like this cart's usage:
The astounding petoncles (scallops) with rhubarb.
Along with our other starter (oh yeah they totally know how to course stuff here, and there's no rush job), the radish with liver pate below and the ramp biscuit.
Just two great dishes, showing off the product. The rhubarb with scallops is amazing, both texturally and in the different flavors of the two components; one sweet and saline, the other tart, juicy...wow.
Significant Eater had this lobster agnolotti,; how could she not! It's beautiful nettle agnolotti and lobster chunks, perfectly cooked, morel butter.
I had a light main - the fried soft shell, with lettuce. Hah, that's like an appetizer, so i also had the ribs, served with a counter point of nicely dressed bitter herbs.
There were 3, so I shared...don't worry. We also shared:
The rhubarb sorbet and an ice cream sandwich. Both fabulous.
This is a restaurant, simply put, not to be missed.
