Brasserie Montmarte


This bistro is located in downtown Portland (on Park Ave). We recently attended a great community Sunday dinner there, and look what we got for just $39 each:

1. French (Normandy) hard cider during socializing
2. Camembert and Livarot cheese tray with French prunes and baguette
3. Housemade Andouille and rabbit sausages with pickled vegetables and dijon mustard
4. Mixed green salad, with poached pears, hazlenuts, and pear vinaigrette
5. Marmite Dieppoise: salmon, shrimp, mussels, with leeks, celery, onions, carrots, curry, and paprika cream
6. Cider braised rabbit hindquarters, with pearl onions and heirloom carrots, on a bed of braised red wine cabbage with bacon and apples
7. 2008 JP Chenet Chardonnay/Colombard and JP Chenet Cab/Syrah (both vin de pays--table wines--from N. France)
8. Petit Suisse Rice Pudding with fresh fruit.
9. Calvados (eau du vie)
10. Good company next to us, including a gentleman who grew up in southern France and is living in Portland, doing, among other things, bicycle racing.

A great time!
