Bar-St-Denis - Review - Petite Patrie - Montreal - The Infatuation
"You might pass by Bar St-Denis on your way to the Jean-Talon Market without even realizing—it’s tucked in between a grocery store and a revival church. The menu at this modern bistro is constantly changing: think scallops with lemon confit, duck breast with local chanterelles, or Egyptian-inspired small plates like clams with tabbouleh. Their homemade labneh with olives, a spectacular olive oil-swirled sundae dusted with pistachios and served with crunchy-edged flatbread, is one of the highlights. The wine list leans natural, with lots from France and Québec, alongside fun cocktails and the option for a generous (and very reasonable, at $80 per person) chef’s choice menu for the table. Take in the retro backlit ceiling before you sit down on the long banquette facing the open kitchen, where all the action happens. photo credit: Two Food Photographers photo credit: Two Food Photographers" - Ivy Lerner-Frank
