Verses is the restaurant in the Hotel Nelligan, which is my new favorite place in Montreal. (See separate review.) The dining experience lives up to its surroundings, which are stunning. The hotel is comprised of two older buildings which have been conjoined. The exposed brick and stone is authentic. The Verses bar is located in the atrium, which would have been the alley way, I presume. Near the bar are several small tables and semi-private booths where one can enjoy drinks and/or dinner. Dinner tables are on the other side. The food is quite good. I had guinea fowl, which seems to be a cross between a Cornish game hen and a pheasant. It's very good. And the server and some other dining patrons entered an interesting linguistics game when I queried them about my vegetables. In French, they are navettes, I need to check the English, she said. Turned out, I was eating turnips with my fowl. The only slight disappointment was the salmon starter which, unexpectedly to me, was served uncooked. Other than that, food, service, and ambience is exquisite. Go soon and enjoy!
