Q: L'Express is an institution in Montreal, and in the words of our hotel concierge, they serve "very very traditional French" which I guess makes sense considering this is on St. Denis, which is apparently the more "French" side of the city. Decor is a traditional French bistro with the ornate bar and the black and white checkered floor. The food and service here are outstanding, and its no wonder this place is busy all the time. Like many other places in Montreal (with the exception of L'Assommoire), this place did not have a cocktail list but I went with the Sidecar which was excellent, and served in one of those old tiny martini glasses that I love. Again, like Club Chasse, would have ordered another if I only had the time.

To start:
Arugula with gruyere
Duck rillettes (duck liver pate)

Entrees:
Wine: Pomerol Bordeux, 2005, Chateau Du Grande Chambellan (merlot/cab blend)
Special - Duck with figs -- duck was succulent, juicy, rich, expertly prepared. Why am I not surprised?
Hanger steak with frites

Dessert:
The dessert was, quite simply, out of this world and like no other dessert I've ever had. Leave it to the French! It was the Ill flotette au caramel and was like a crispy carmelized dome with merengue filling and in a creamy sauce with crispy waffle pieces on the side. Absolutely amazing! You must not miss this. Have to order.
Cafe Latte -- best latte of my life! I knew it would be incredible here, that's why I ordered it and it did not disappoint. Wish I could eat here more often, I would love to try sooo many more things on the menu.

Writer's note: I have a confession...I did not discover this amazing life changing dessert on my own. I saw it in a YouTube video where some girl ordered it and knew I had to have it. Here's the link if you're interested...
