text: A churchthemed restaurant with benches instead of chairs lots of dark wood and a dark rustic feel That is not at all what this restaurant is about but hey could be a hot ideannThe restaurants name Communion actually refers to the idea of sharing We were seated in the small side room with grey stone walls which provided a perfect setting and atmosphere to support the act Oh and the food is not all you will be sharing the restaurant has a unisex bathroom I can already imagine awesome how we met stories coming out of thisnnCommunions food is broad in range and would best be described as contemporary European market cuisine The menu consists of tapassized dishes and larger plates to share My friend and I decided to start with some oysters the salmon tartare bouchuee with a basil emulsion and cucumber brunoise and rollmops pickled herring wrapped around slices of onion and pickled gherkin with chive puruee and sour cream Tartare is an easy miss but both of these amusebouches were completely flavourful and deliciousnnNext we tried this whole sharing thing by ordering the Stuffed Savoie cabbage a half cabbage she will filled with layers of olive tapenade mashed butternut squash feta cheese and quinoa salad with pistachios and garlic flowers Sounds weird It was But in an unexpected ivenevertastedthisbeforebutIreallyDOlikeit sort of way Tasty and health conscious comfortstyle foodnnWe finished the entire cabbage which unfortunately deterred us from ordering dessert Apparently it is made by a Parisian chef Certainly a reason for another visitnnCommunions concept is cute but possibly only if a pairs agrees on a dish Would adding some single dishes dilute the restaurants concept Maybe In any case I will end with this Communion is perfect for a chill and comfortable dinner with friends or for a romantic date It is cozy and sometimes party girls need a night that is good for the soulnnnFood Atmosphere ifyouwantachillsetting Pretty people Music whenyoucanhearit Service nnnPictures httpbelledenuitmontrealcompostscommunion
