Creamy, smooth, nice texture. Breadcrumbs were delicious. Stracciatella w/ Bottarga (8.5/10): Very unique dish. I loved the bottarga-flavored radish. Added a nice splash of seafood taste into the salad. The stracciatella was amazing. White Asparagus (8.5/10): Very well-executed. Asparagus was tender. The greens on top were nicely charred. Sauce was tasty. Buckwheat Cake (8/10): Excellent cake. Simple, but decadent. Not too sweet either Though this is the top-ranked restaurant in Montreal, I still have to say Beba is my favorite. Although Mon Lapin is good, the service and taste both fall short of Beba's.

I will crave those!! The only critique I have is the duck was a little chewy and could have been a little more crispy/fried. But aside from that everything was amazing and fresh. Also, the wine selection was great. The staff were informative and nice. They timed out all the course perfectly. I told my husband I'd literally fly to out here for 24 hours just to make dinner reservations here and leave the next day. It's expensive but it's very well worth it. Also, the size of the restaurant looks small, but it is very spacious. You don't feel crowded.

We ordered the halibut which was a well balanced and composed dish with sweet Montreal corn, delicate fish, and briny clams.

The lobster was perfectly cooked, however. They have both outdoor and indoor seating with a chic bar counter and tight tables. Cute place with good French cooking.
