"Dany Bolduc is a justly famous chef. All sixteen of us were awed by the cuisine. Certainly the impeccable style of his staff and decor added immensely to the event. Dany keeps changing the menu, except the octopus which has remained for a year, because it has become his signature piece. Wonderful, not a challenging taste at all, two fat tandoori tentacles, tender, crunchy and very tasty. Since their wine pairings are a specialty, I asked for one; it was an orange julep. No, the sommelier said, you will not want one on its own; but with the octopus it works. Indeed it did. And the octopus was accompanied by an inspired caramelised yogurt accented with red onion, cashews, and coconut, brilliant. Others in our party had the veal or the polenta, and were equally pleased; so were the couple who had the special vegan menu. The first courses (appetizers) were also perfect. But I must admit the special double chocolate +almond +cherry was, for me, as irresistible as the octopus. The Saint-Henry district is so lucky to have this spot. Definitely worth the trip to Montreal."
