Best List

[canucklehead]

On the Vancouver thread the list of Enroute's Canada's 10 best restaurants was posted and Montreal has the lion's share of them Here's the List

Number one was Garcon - besides seeing it on FoodTv's Opening Soon - I don't here much mention of it. I am glad it is doing well - the owners seem like good people.

Just curious if the list makes sense to Montrealers.

Ummm is this a good thing or a bad thing?

My understanding is that the list is a result of input from food writers accross the country. So my assumption is that you would have been involved.

I was 100% not involved in this year's rating

I'd like to ask the same question Lesley. What are your thoughts? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Inquiring minds want to know!

As I just posted on the Vancouver board, good for Montreal but too bad he got the numbers mixed up.

I would prefer to leave it at that.

Why so cryptic? Who got what numbers mixed up?

I'm low on caffeine so all this confusion isn't good for me!

At least we know how you feel about one of the winners.

Where is O Chalet? I thought I was up to date, but never even heard of this one.

The original post in this thread says that enRoute has established the 10 best restaurants in Canada. I have not seen this latest version of the enRoute mag but I suspect that it is the 10 best NEW restaurants, correct?

what a joke

who is chris johns?

i agree with bronte last year but please garcon and raza?

ccep deserves of course

[Lesley C]

Have you been to Raza? It's really a terrific little restaurant.

[Vinfidel]

not to my tastes

flavor combinations were a mess which i find always with nuevo latino food

but lesley - to be serious in no stretch of a fantasie can they be best anything

this reminds me of BU being on the list last year - of BEST RESTAURANTS. a joke again. there is not a lot of food on the menu there unless you count charcuterie

i will check out O CHALET but i never herd of it

what did you think of garcon? i have had many lunches there no dinner due to work but thank god the money for the food is not from my pocket

forgot to say that for me thuet is incredible the 2x i ate there.

for sure now raza and garcon will not have trouble filling their seats this winter

also to give kudos bronte the food did not go down since the award they did a good job going from empty to full every night doing top top quality

Well we'll see. So will Garcon's new chef, who started today. Or is it next Tuesday? Not quite sure.

[Vinfidel]

more jokes

i'm so pleased Raza was mentioned! i felt so sorry for this fantastic little place when we were there in march? february? (some cold month anyway) and we were the only diners... i hope this list fills the tables.

and i suppose this belongs on the Quebec city thread but i was SO excited to see the Quebec city spread in the gazette today - the new restaurant scene in Montreal is so blah, that i can't wait to try innovative cuisine in QC.
