Ingredient appreciation — what makes Butter Tart special
What sets Butter Tart apart is the handling of maple syrup. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the fresh and clean result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.
maple syrup production is a seasonal Quebec ritual celebrated at family sugar shacks. The a Montreal poutinerie atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had maple latte as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Butter Tart is the place to start.
