Split Pea Soup exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Split Pea Soup made with real commitment to Quebec cheese curds and technique. The comforting and familiar result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

maple syrup production is a seasonal Quebec ritual celebrated at family sugar shacks. The a Montreal poutinerie was exactly right for this kind of eating. Canadian rye whisky was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
