Le Club Chasse et Pêche
Montreal, Canada
Dining at Le Club Chasse et Pêche is like being a member of a secret society. Located down a side street in the historic district of Old Montreal and marked by a small sign with a mysterious, vaguely medieval-looking crest, Le Club is a dimly lit cavelike restaurant with leather club chairs, dark wood, white linen, and abstract art. Though the emblem of leaping fish and antlers is everywhere—from the ceiling wallpaper to the wine glasses—guests need not be hunting aficionados to enjoy chef Claude Pelletier’s Quebecois cuisine. Standouts include the seared duck foie gras with candied chestnuts and carrots, and the roast squid with a stuffing of chorizo, bread, and sherry vinegar served with quinoa and clams. Not to be missed is the signature dish, surf and turf, which ranges from duck paired with shrimp to sweetbreads and lobster served on a celery root puree and drizzled with lobster bisque. ”
