Guest Blgger: Sister #3-Juliette & Chocolat in Montreal
On my last evening of a recent trip to Montreal, my niece and I decided to head out for a late dinner. We really didn’t have a place in mind so jumped on a subway to St. Denis Street to see what struck our fancy. We happened upon Juliette & Chocolate, at which point Bekah said she had wanted to try it and I realized that I had seen one of their salads on a friend’s Facebook page and I too had it on my “must try” list.
I had the namesake Juliette & Chocolate salad which was an interesting combination of flavours. Mixed greens with strawberries, pear, goat cheese and a balsamic and chocolate salad dressing, it was topped with a crouton like object made by swirling buckwheat crepe batter in a hot pan. I was pleased to find that it was not overly sweet but instead the dark chocolate notes and the vinegar was a nice combination with the crunch fruit and the creamy chevre.
Bekah selected the buckwheat crepe topped with pesto, walnuts and goat cheese. We were both satisfied with our choices.
