A while ago, I joined the Monster Gym for a 3 month stint. My favourite part was the treadmill which had tv screens, and I always tuned into the Food channels! Walking away calories and dreaming of food!
One of my favourite shows was Chuck's day off, and my hipster brother knew of his restaurant in the Old Port.
This Saturday, I went with 3 girlfriends (after waiting a month for a reservation) for dinner for the first time, and saw the kitchen bar he cooks on. We had a great evening in a cosy thoughtfully decorated room. The menu was in english and french on separate boards, and we did our best to try as many dishes as possible.
The Lobster Poutine and Ice Cream Sandwiches had preceded our visit in reviews, so we were glad to have a share in them. We split the large poutine, which had a claw and a tail on top and we estimated a half a lobster in meat in a medium sized poutine.
I think I was the happiest of all the mains, but there was no complaining with the dessert. I think the ice cream bar was really a cheesecake, and dipped in caramel, it was exquisite!

| Crown Salts seems to be the chef's company |
 |
| Carmelised scallops served with cauliflower, carrot vanilla puree (none of us guessed the flavour at first), bacon jam (I tasted the smokiness first), and my first truffles. I am in a new mushroom bracket! |
 |
| Pork Belly, Coco beans and choi (an app that stands well as a main) |
 |
| Braised beef on a bed of barley with collard greens in a beer and molasses sauce. As the first taste of beef in 8 years, it was amazing! My recommendation for my husband. |

| Arctic char, salsify with pancetta, fish veloute and seaweed salad |

| Fleur de sel sandwiches and perfect caramel sauce |
