Restaurant & Bar Reviews

A favorite place of ours in Boston, Aquitaine always produces a great experience. Wine selection and entrees are fantastic along with the ambiance. I love coming in here just when it opens to grab a spot at the little bar in the front where we will sit all night if possible to have a few drinks and an exceptional meal. The music they play is on trend and the food is fantastic, our standards are the Sole with potatoes and, Steak Frites and the steak tartar!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Montreal institution is located about a 10 dollar cab ride from downtown on Rue Saint Denis

The restaurant is very traditional no Wi-fi here. Just what you would expect from a place that has been around for a long time.

No frills but this pate was great.

So was the octopus.

Of course the steak frites was very good.Not my usual type of place but the champagne prices were the best that I found in Montreal. In fact some of their bottles were as cheap as the liquor stores.To make a reservation

Crizia is a seafood restaurant that prides itself on its oysters.I do not go out of my wy to eat them so you will have to visit yourself and decide if they are any good.Luckily enough the menu was full of other good things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The actual restaurant is very cool and once again seems to have been built in an old car shop.Now while it may not mean much to most people these structures are awful for acoustics.the music was very cool but I just could not hear it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any business is only as good as its staff and the bar-tender/waiter here was brill.(that is very good in English).He explained the menu,the drinks and also was brave enough to say that the most expensive item on the menu was not the best in his opinion.

 

 

 

 

 
As I am writing this a week after I visited this restaurant I cannot entirely remember the exact composition of this dish but it was very good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was the shrimp and scallop erviche and it was really good.While not startling I did enjoy the experience here so I would recommend it.

Cluny has become my Boston Navy Yard Bistro of Buenos Aires. The actual space is fantastic.Seems as if it was an old garage, part inside part outside.Staff are very attentive and the food is excellent. Salmon tartare, steak and grilled octopus cannot be beaten. Great wine list. You get the picture I really like this place. Go check it out and if you are really lucky you may even get to talk to the chef with the crazy Lancashire accent.
