text: Le Local puts a delicious and trendy twist on FrenchQuuebuecois cuisine the kind of rich and refined meal that is perfect after a day of hiking around Montreal The main dining room is adjacent to the open kitchen so be forewarned that it gets pretty warm There is a huge fulllength mirror on the wall opposite to the kitchen so everyone can watch the chefs in action Everything my wife and I had for dinner was delicious the beet salad salmon tartare the grilled halibut and duck leg confit Also if you want dessert it might be best to share an appetizer since the dishes are healthily portioned I do not know how often the menu turns over but this was a perfect summer meal a nice balance of freshness with buttery goodness
