Weve watched St.Henri experience a recent regeneration, and now
neighbouring Griffintown is getting its own makeover, with a restaurant
takeover featuring a talented team of restaurateurs who transformed an
old, unloved chicken grill into the hottest dish in town.
Nora Gray, is changing the face of rue St.Jacques, serving
market-fresh southern Italian cuisine to a lively late-night crowd (come
early if you want a quiet meal!). We happily joined in the party with a
mouth-watering primi of tender calamari and tasty meatballs ($11),
followed by an indulgent pasta course, sharing half portions of the
creamy and rich wild mushroom Cavatelli ($11) and deliciously textured
crispy sweetbread ravioli ($15). Wed already heard raves about the white
fish, cooked to crispy/flaky perfection on the charcoal grill salvaged
from the spaces previous owners and destined to become our must-have
meal. On the day we dined the daily special featured fresh, never-frozen
marinated tuna served atop lentils. Delish!
Welcome to the restaurant renaissance! Jennifer Nachshen
