MONTREAL Montrealers could be weeks away from clinking glasses on a sunny patio and ordering food that doesn’t come in a box. Offering a glimmer of hope to residents who’ve been anxious for some social activity this spring, Mayor Valerie Plante said the city’s terrasses could open by June, if public health permits. The mayor said that the reopening of patios, if allowed, would have to be done safely with a reduced capacity and with public health measures in place. Restaurants will tell us a lot of predictability so this is what I m working toward, Plante said at a news conference on Thursday.
Dominique Lafond Casgrain BBQ, the fried-chicken alter-ego of Little Italy’s Vin Mon Lapin, is back, and moving to a new premises. Starting this week, chefs Marc-Oliver Frappier and Jessica Noël are taking their poultry project a kilometre away to Bar St-Denis (St-Denis and Mozart, on the eastern edge of Little Italy), for what they’re calling a “temporary residency.” Bar St-Denis chef-owners Emily Homsy and David Gauthier, both Pied de Cochon alumni, just celebrated the two-year anniversary of their stylish bar, though as Homsy points out, “the second year was pretty much all pandemic.” With the fully functional kitchen at Bar St-Denis used only sporadically over the confinement, Frappier approached Homsy and Gauthier to propose the joint effort. One of Frappier’s extra fryers was installed in the kitchen, and together the teams worked up a menu meant to revive some of the (few) happy memories of summer 2020.
