I went on a short 2 day business trip to the always booming Sorel-Tracy Quebec and had a meeting at our Montreal office on the way home.
Last night, we went with our client contact guy to a nice French restaurant in Sorel that he seemed to like. It was in a cool building - an old renovated farmers market. Sorel is right on the St. Lawrence river, and apparently, during the war they were major manufacturers of cannons for ships. I guess the German subs made it pretty far down the river and were very close to Sorel. The plan was to take out the cannon plant, but for some reason it never went down. Something lame like the war ended.
Anyway, the french language thing created a bit of sketchiness when ordering, but good thing I asked the client guy what was in the ravioli or I would have ended up with ravioli stuffed with wild game. I ordered some fillet de maquerie - which I was hoping was a piece of mackerel. It was pretty tasty and came with salad, rice and assorted veggie. My co-worker ordered a fillet steak and the client had a rack of lamb...they seemed to enjoy. Also had a creme brulee for dessert, which was alright. Final bill for 3 was $170 including tax, tip, coffee, a bottle of wine, salad or soup, bread, dessert and some hearty fishy/meaty meals. Ok value considering the amount of food ordered.
Today was lunch in Montreal at the food court in Place Ville Marie. They have a good Middle Eastern Fast food place (Club Med) where you can get 5 veggie items for $5.95. Super duper value considering the horrendous amounts of extremely tasty food! I got falafel, hummus, garlic potatoes, tabbouleh and coleslaw. They also threw on a whole bunch of pickled turnips! Probably the best middle eastern food that I have ever eaten - kind of disturbing that it comes from a food court, but you can't argue with the tastiness.
