Thursday, I had the pleasure of eating at Le P’tit Faillon on rue Faillon, a mere 10 minutes walk from where I live in Villeray. Up until last December, this restaurant was known as Le Baron de Faillon; the new name is less imposing, but the food is still fit for a baron, make no mistake. I ordered le filet de bar (bass fillet) which was served on top of pasta and vegetables. Delicious. To eat well and allow for a glass of wine or two, allow for $30 per person. My friend Denis was just as impressed with his meal as I was with mine. He had medaillons de something; I forget what. Can you tell I’m not cut out to be a restaurant reviewer?

To get there, exit at Metro Jean Talon, head north up rue Berri until you reach rue Faillon. The restaurant is between Berri and St. Denis.
