I've Hit The Motherload!
Who knew? But it's Lobster Festival in Montreal!! During my walk around Old Montreal today I discovered many restaurants that have lobster specials going on for the festival so I knew immediately that I was deferring from my quest for Foie Gras and going for lobster. And I found a restaurant that was offering your choice of either Lobster Thermidor or Lobster Newburg as their specials. I have occasionally been able to find Lobster Thermidor in Mazatlán but I haven't had Lobster Newburg since I was a kid. I remember fondly a trip my now deceased aunt and I took up north on Vancouver Island and we stopped at a seaside eatery for lunch. I was probably only eight but I ordered Lobster Thermidor and I haven't had it since. So I knew where I was heading for dinner!
So here I sit on a beautiful terasse with a beautiful view on a lovely evening with a live entertainer singing Neil Diamond in the background. Does it get any better than that? Oh yeah - my lobster bisque just arrived!
Here's a pic of my view:
And of my bisque:
And just when I thought life couldn't get any better my Lobster Newburg arrived and it was just divine. Cream, butter, sherry, lobster - I seriously have gone to gastronomic heaven!
And for dessert - profiteroles and tea.
The name of the restaurant you ask - Senateur.
