Scent of Montreal

SCENT OF MONTREAL Off the Place d’Armes near the Ruelle Des Fortifications, is a restaurant small - Cosy with smell of garlic with all : Makes me hungry and want to sit a spell. Every dish is a delight: I love each one so - Cheesy Onion soup and Vichyssoise; The omelettes and the souffle a la quebecoise; Cuisses de grenouilles and escargots. Sound of caleches across the square Faint violin music down the street there This today is la joie de vivre The city breathes with Frenchness in the air - Near to heaven-scent it is so rare - But better if it were le Quebec libre . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .
