We both especially enjoyed the empanadas and definitely plan on returning just for them. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Montadito – $28 Two slices of mackerel with a touch of salted butter for richness. The sesame-topped bread feels like a mini bagel. A mild spicy kick from the horseradish. Worth a try! 2. Tagliatelle – $33 Italian wide noodles served with tender guinea fowl ragu and Parmigiano Reggiano. Savory, rich, and a nice fusion of French and Italian flavors. Slightly on the salty side. 3. Macreuse de boeuf – $85 Lean yet tender flat iron steak, served with morels and potatoes. The charcutière sauce, with its mustardy, savory flavor, really hits the spot—especially for a Chinese palate. Are those bits of cured meat and pork jelly in the sauce? Feels like a chef’s hidden masterpiece 4. Flan – $13 Classic caramel flan topped with whipped cream and dulce de leche (tastes a bit like Werther’s candy). The caramel is noticeably bitter, and the texture is thick and dense. A single bite is super smooth. A bit too sweet for me personally, but I’d still recommend trying it!

The non alcoholic coktail had the complexity of a real cocktail. Most importantly, the food was perfect and just incredible. They perfectly accomodated my gluten free (celiac) patner. The flavors are familiar but done in a novel way. Portions are generous for a restaurant in this price tier. The single best thing that I ate on the entire trip was the montadito basically a reimagined version of bagel and lox. It's probably the best bite of food I've had this year. I've been thinking of it ever since. I'd return just for that. I would caution that the gluten free version (sans bagel) with cucumber is not really a good substitute. Even some gluten free toast would have made it really good if not the exact same as the real deal. I kinda wish that places would have some gluten free bread frozen but on hand for these kinds of substitutes. Sometimes, you just need bread/toast for texture; even if it's the inferior gluten free kind. Boulangerie Le Marquis is doing some pretty awesome stuff so maybe that could be a good partnership. Anywho, Beba is added to my list of places I have to hit when in Montreal. Bravo. Only bad part was a SUPER loud dude behind us who didn't shut up for 2 hours but what can you do...
