DANS LA BOUCHE




So a few months ago I went with my friend Dan to get some Ont Bijt (dutch for breakfast) at Dans Le Bouche over on Mont-Royal in Montreal. If you don't know any french, Dans Le Bouche means "in the mouth". You know, putting food in your mouth, or if you have a different sense of humour, you might think something else. Having that sense of humour, we joked around about the name but didn't really think anything of it.

Fast forward to this past weekend. Since Liz and I were in Montreal again, we needed to explore new things and we decided a trip to DLB was in order. So, since Dan and I couldn't read french at all, Liz, who is pretty fluent in francais, discovered that our little joke about the name of the restaurant wasn't unfounded. The names on the menu gave it away. Le triangle armoureux, le dejeuner triple xxx, armour savage, the list goes on. Funny, eh?

Any who, I got the dans la bouche breakfast. It's the typical bacon and eggs breakfast. Not the best but the potatoes were above average. Liz got the eggs joey, a variation on eggs benny. She didn't seem very impressed by it. The eggs were a bit raw and disgusting. Also, there was a couple out on the patio that looked like they were gonna get it on at any second. Nothing like watching tongue fights with your breakfast.

The bottom line is there's much better joints in Montreal for a good start to the day. 7 out of 10.
