Chez Jean-Paul - Didn't disappoint.

Wanted to try something more creative and unique and off the recommendation of a few posts here went to try Chez Jean-Paul. Didn't disappoint. Excellent service, great wine pairings and each of the 9 dishes on the tasting menu were interesting mix of flavours, well executed and certainly unique. One of the better meals I've had in Montreal, surprised it isn't busier or more talked about - quality, food and value far exceeded some of the other more hyped up places I've tried recently.

Anchovy with dill cream on a chicharron
Nordic shrimps and white asparagus - parsnip jelly

Terrine, jerusalem artichokes, roast pork reduction.
Dry-age the arctic char, caviar and chili sauce.

Cured duck breast with ramps, pancetta & morel mushrooms

Rhubarb sorbet in clover crème anglaise

Few other dishes I didn't get photos of. A sea urchin in mussel foam and winter radish, sweetbreads with smoked rutabaga and cream, scallops with pork jellies and a foamed buffalo mozzarella with a basil cream on a soft bread soaked in tomato.

They said the menu changes quite a bit, so will definitely be going back to try some of the new dishes in a few months.
