Auberge St-Gabriel Montreal Canada

Also when you are in Montreal, there are only a few very traditional French restaurants, such as Auberge St-Gabriel. Great service and great food! It is a building from the 1600's with historic stone walls and a giraffe skeletal spine running through the middle of the restaurant.

HISTORY: 

Abuerge St-Gabriel is the oldest inn/restaurant in North America! It is located not in main town Montreal but in Old Montreal. 

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Appetizers: For the appetizers if you like Pork, then the charcuterie of the day is the appetizer for you. It is a ball of shredded pork with breadcrumbs, and on the side is a large rectangular crouton with a small mixed salad on top. The pork fell apart in your mouth and the crouton was soft and the salad on it made juicy so it was well balanced. Also for the appetizer you should try the pork croquet. It was stuffed with the pork and very delicate and tender. Instead of a ball, the croquet was a rectangular shape instead. 

Main Course: You should try the Diver special, which is sea bass and muscles in a fish cream bubble sauce. It was so succulent and the fish was just very tender and melted in your mouth much like the pork ball. Also you should try the penne with a white cheese sauce, ham chunks, mushrooms basil and a raw egg yolk, to be mixed in with the pasta on the side. It was creamy and very delicious.  Also if your a duck fan you MUST TRY the duck, with a balsamic sweet sauce underneath with fresh figs. It was cooked perfectly and in my opinion the best duck I have ever tasted, and the figs balanced it out.  Auberge St-Gabriel is definitely a must go hot spot in Montreal, and next time you head up north, just stop by Montreal, to dive into the culinary adventure.
