Montreal: La Chien Fumant

 Right around the corner from where our friend Francis lives, there is a great little restaurant called Le Chien Fumant (The Smoking Dog) that is run by a guy that used to cook at Joe Beef.  Like Joe Beef and Liverpool house, this place focuses on big flavors in fairly simple, homey dishes.  At least that was the sense I got from a few of the dishes we tried out for brunch.  Here are a couple of pictures that Abby took.  One nice thing about brunch - at least from the photographers perspective - is that you get much better pictures than at dinner, where you often find yourselves in a dimly lit dining room, as was the case the night before at Liverpool House.
