Reservoir - Montréal

Reservoir is a lovely restaurant located in Montreal's Portuguese neighborhood. They serve dinners, drinks, and brunches on weekends starting at 10:30 a.m. The evening menu reminds me of many Spanish restaurants, such as Barcelona's Mut Bar, featuring creative and market cuisine that changes daily and is advertised on a board. The portions are not very large, encouraging you to order a variety of dishes to sample different specialties like tempura pumpkin flower, purple with puree, brioche and apple butter, and escarole salad with tataki tuna. Around four plates for two people should be enough to satisfy, and with drinks, the total bill can come to around 30 euros. Reservoir also offers craft white beer worth trying, brewed on-site as seen through metallic barrels behind a window. The service at Reservoir is top-notch, making it one of the standout dishes in Montreal.
