Mike’s Resto Notes: Duc de Lorraine, Canons! on South Shore and Souvlaki Grec Plus

Duc de Lorraine

The iconic Duc de Lorraine, located on Côte des Neiges Road just off Queen Mary, continues to shine. Our family recently had a sensational brunch there. Open since 1952, Victoria Sørensen has been at the helm for the past 16 years. I got to meet chef Elie Azzi, whose team prepares 24 kinds of pastries a day. There are 52 seats inside and two fabulous terrasses. We went for a few order so
the Benedictine version of a bagel, cream cheese, fresh Nova Scotia lobster and truffle oil, preceding that with a salmon tartare appetizer.

For dessert we went for the ever so popular fraisier, vanilla sponge cake, vanilla mousseline cream, fresh strawberries and a thin layer
of almond paste and the croissant chocolat, also known as a “crookie.” That is a croissant combined Chef Elie Azzi at with a chocolate chip cookie.

Duc Duc de Lorraine de Lorraine is open seven days a week for breakfast, brunch, lunch and supper, from 6:30am to 10:30pm. Of course so many people come or a decadent take-out order. They also cater and make splendid cakes of all sizes. You can call them at (514) 731-4128 or log on to www.ducdelorraine.ca


Canons!

A Gourmet Wine Bar: In late April, Canons!, a gourmet wine bar, opened its second location in the heart of the vibrant Quartier Dix30 in South Shore Brossard. Here, guests can discover a 100 percent local market-inspired cuisine with bold, generous flavors, paired with a carefully curated wine selection that will take you on a journey around the world.

On the menu are delicious wines and tasty and unpretentious gastronomy, all in a warm and laid-back atmosphere. Owner and sommelier Pascal Paradis opened the first location in Beloeil. He brought in Chef Jérôme Trouvé from France last year to train with him and open in Brossard. Let me recommend the Italian Burrata salad, a tasty white fish from Chicoutimi called bar noire and Chef Jérôme’s Special, a delicious gourmet version of macaroni and cheese and more.

Canons! is open Monday,11:30am to 3pm, Tuesday to Friday, 11:30am to 10:30pm, Saturday 10 am to 10:30 pm and Sunday, 10 am to 3 pm. Log on to https://restaurantcanons.com or call 450-500-2025
