Despite being only a year old, it's a place that celebrates traditional Jewish home cooking. In reality this meant they had a range of foods I'd never heard of, or could pronounce without making the waitress laugh. In order to save face I went for the dish I could say the easiest, The Mont Royal. This is a delicious concoction of Smoked Salmon (lox in the states), potato & chive latke & crème fraiche. I once had to make latke's for some particularly unnecessary religious education homework, so was keen to taste what the real thing was like. To be honest, the real thing tasted quite a lot like hash browns. Which is to say, it's mass of shredded fried potato, or in other words, it's fucking delicious.
I was in the mood to sample some of their amazingly scented brisket that was being made directly in front of me, but I was there too early, so I'll have to head back to report. The brisket chef gave me a whole bunch of information about the quality of their brisket so it would be a crying shame to pass it up.
