Meeting Expectations

Tonight we decided to venture outside of our downtown/Old Montreal comfort area and head out to chef Martin Juneau's latest venture, Pastaga, which opened last year on a (previously) forgotten stretch of Saint Laurent in Rosemont/La Petite Patrie. Pastaga's interior is very reminiscent of a wine bar, especially with its unusual L-shaped tables. The menu, which is heavy on local ingredients, has no starters or main dishes. It rather contains a single size of moderately-priced dishes (around $15 each), so one can build their own meal (a great idea for sharing). We were very pleased with the service tonight. It was on the warm and casual side (our waiter was wearing a Cleveland Indians baseball cap), not what you normally expect at a place serving food of this caliber, let alone French food. With its cozy decor, friendly service and great food, Pastaga is a nice place for a fine dining experience or to enjoy a few glasses of wine from their natural wine list. Unfortunately we found portions to be on the smaller side, so we ended up grabbing a couple falafel sandwiches after.
