Montreal trip Day 2 Friday June 13th

Friday we went to the Jardin botanique de Montreal, which is the biggest botanical garden in North America. The Chinese garden, called the Dream Lake Garden, modeled after a Ming dynasty garden, was like a fairyland. I would highly recommend this for anyone going to Montreal.


They also have an insectarium, which was pretty neat. My favorite was the mini-exhibit on beetle jewelry from Peru.
On the way there I saw this hilarious flyer. It says: Missing fish. I have lost my fish. I need him. He is fragile. Help me find him. If you find him, please call me or email me at whereismyfish@gmail.com. Maybe he should check the percolator ....
For dinner, we went to a restaurant my mom had found in the guidebook called Chez L'Epicier in an old grocery store. It was probably the best meal I've ever eaten. It started out with a tiny skinned tomato with rock salt with a dropper of vinaigrette that you had to squeeze out while you ate the tomato. I then had a potato and mozzarella molleux and the cutest dessert ever, a chocolate club sandwich with pineapple fries and melon-mint coleslaw.
