I give that introduction so that people might understand that this meal out in Montreal will be the first and last (peaceful) meal out in awhile. We were in Montreal three years ago and went to Club Chasse et Peche and LOVED it. We are looking for the same sortof experience. Things to consider: 1. We are staying at the Delta Centre-ville 2. My husband eats fish and seafood but no other meat 3. I am breastfeeding so alcohol availibility/wine list is not a factor 4. It is next week so we have to be able to get a table. Not restaurants this won't be a problem I don't think because we prefer to eat early. Thanks ahead of time for the suggestions. In the past I would have spent hours combing through the boards, making food plans for the trip but don't have that much luxurious time anymore!

Fri Apr 10 13:36:59 -0700 2009 4585208 12421 hungryann 1 4585263 Ferreira should be on your short list. www.ferreiracafe.com Fri Apr 10 13:37:26 -0700 2009 4585208 10520 carswell 2 4585581 I'll second that. They have the heartiest, tastiest (Portugese take on) bouillabaisse I've ever had. Fri Apr 10 15:35:40 -0700 2009 4585263 244720 Shattered 1 4585345 I second Europea... in my experience, the food is always delicious and beautifully prepared. The ambiance is refined, and the service is polished. I also enjoy Bronte. The food is first rate, the service attentive without being overwhelming. I have yet to try the following, but these consistantly get great reviews: La Chronique La Montée Toqué L'Épicier Milos Fri Apr 10 14:08:45 -0700 2009 4585208 29305 Andria 1 4585604 Joe Beef for fish! Or you might try Mas Cuisine. Fri Apr 10 15:43:09 -0700 2009 4585208 259263 bigfellow 1 4585614 Have looked at the menus (while baby naps) and so far I am liking Europea and Ferreira, but still have a few days for suggestions. One more question: My MIL's price for babysitting is dessert, where should we go for that? Fri Apr 10 15:48:13 -0700 2009 4585208 17907 HBOO 2 4587538 if you do Europea, you could bring her back some macarons from the restaurant. They are made at their Espace Boutique, but usually available at the restaurant as well. http://www.europea.ca/boutique/index.html Not to be confused with macaroons, macarons are elegant & light pastries.
