Garde Manger Restaurant

To all the Food Network fans out there, I wanted to share a photo of Chuck Hughes' restaurant in Old Montreal. The exterior of the restaurant is simple and unpretentious, not even a sign to indicate its name, much like the charming host himself and his cuisine. Though unpretentious, the food is far from simple with its fresh ingredients and rich flavors. Upon entering the front door you embark on a memorable dining experience; enhanced by his beautiful and capable staff. Should you be lucky enough to meet Chuck himself, you discover that he is the real deal. His energy and exuberance are evident; as you see him interact with the staff in the open kitchen of his restaurant. Even without the cameras rolling, his endearing smile seems always present and upon request; manages to find a few minutes to give you his personal greeting.
