text: I am always looking for a French Bistro that will blow me away and lo and behold there is one just on SteCatherines street Sadly did not blow me awaynnThis restaurant in its younger says may have passed as a Bistro from Paris teleported to Montreal but the decor has aged badly and looks like ducttape holds it together it is in tatters it is patchy and is in great need of renovations I could see the kitchen through a wallnnThe menu is terribly old school but I cannot complain it is what I was looking for Rillette French Onion soup Deviled Eggs Tartares Boeuf Bourgignon they are all there But they do not feel updated to todays expectations The Rillette de Lapin was good but lacked some seasoning the spices overwhelmed the Tartare The French onion soup was underwhelming and very ordinary The bavette one of my favourites was a disappointment little flavour little seasoning and the vedge were flat The Ile Flottante floating Island desert was pretty good though it was the first time I tried this classic desert no other restaurants serve nnThe service though was seemingly teleported from Paris though as it was polite but cold and unresponsive to smalltalk But call me oldschool I miss the level of professionalism the wait staff displayed even in a small restaurant setting There is no reason not to get proper service in any restaurant it is well part of the experience
