St. Lawrence

Charm abounds at this beloved Québécois bistro. Sit close enough to Chef/owner Jean-Christophe Poirier's kitchen to experience the heady aromas of his refined yet indulgent French-Canadian cooking, featuring ethereal sauces and a characteristic use of sweetness. The fixed menu changes seasonally, but signature additions like oreilles de crisse (crispy pig ears tossed in maple syrup and spices) and a savory éclair filled with duck liver mousse, are well worth considering for those who desire an extra hit of richness. Otherwise, the meal begins with thoughtful canapés and proceeds to heartier fare like charcoal-grilled duck with chou-farci and wheat berries. For dessert, you’ll get a final dose of sweetness, perhaps in the guise of a maple St.-Honoré with Chantilly and caramel.
