"Charm abounds at this One MICHELIN Star Québécois bistro, where sitting near Chef/owner Jean-Christophe Poirier’s kitchen means catching the heady aromas of refined yet indulgent French-Canadian cooking marked by ethereal sauces and a characteristic use of sweetness. The fixed menu changes seasonally, but signatures like oreilles de crisse—crispy pig ears tossed in maple syrup and spices—and a savory éclair filled with duck liver mousse add extra richness. Thoughtful canapés lead into heartier fare such as charcoal-grilled duck with chou-farci and wheat berries, and dessert might bring a maple St.-Honoré with Chantilly and caramel." - Michael He
