Ristorante Lucca, Montreal

Don't bother asking for a menu, as there isn't one on paper, but it's posted on the wall everyday, thus ensuring variety. Take a seat at the terrace tables and watch the handsome, charming waiter serve up some Rucola e Parmigiano to whet your appetite. The entrees are mellow - a change from the harsh flavors one gets accustomed to. The duck breast is a particular favorite among patrons, so let your tongue get used to the subtle tastes at leisure. A dish that will guarantee a second look from the neighboring table is the Insalata di Polipo – Octopus chunks! Pasta and other Italian staples abound. Dessert recommendations would be chocolate soufflé and crême brulée. The wines are gentler than the usual Italian variety, and the overall experience is satisfying, though a tad expensive.
