This was an off-the-beaten path sort of place, well away from central QC touristy areas. You know this because you can actually find street parking right outside the restaurant! It is a very small place, neighborhood bistro, maybe 10 tables? Owners and waitstaff were very friendly, easy to converse with in English. And they had a menu in English. The menu is small, with maybe 20 items. Half are tapas, small plates and half are full meals. We only ordered from the tapas side with mostly good results. Guys tried the Koren egg (not for me) but they thought it was "interesting". The swordfish special was seared in small pieces on a bed of pickled veg. Very tasty, although I thought the swordfish was a bit dry. We also tried the mixed grilled veggies with crème fresh, very good. My favorite of the night was a fried zucchini blossom, just one came on a plate, but it was amazing. We all agreed a good loaf of bread would have rounded out the meal. We didn't ask for any, and none was provided or on the menu. The vibe was very laid back and the music (mellow classic rock) was playing at a volume where you could easily talk. The only downside was a customer seated on the opposite end of the small cafe had the most obnoxious, piercingly loud laugh that it kinda messed with our mood of relaxing and trying out some new dishes. And she laughed a lot! Obviously not something an owner can control so we rolled with it the best we could. I'm giving 4 not 5 stars mainly on price not exactly matching what you got. We've eaten tapas in US and Spain and some of the plates, like the one zucchini blossom on to thinly sliced zucchini, seemed like a very small bite for the price. Would still recommend if you like trying out more unusual dishes.
