A wonderful dinner at Le Ste-Marthe
The adorable waitress. She did her best to translate the chalkboard menu, she even mimed "shrimp!" We weren't really sure what we ordered but everything was delicious!
Dessert to die for! The best chocolate cake ever and a trio of creme brulees, mmmm...
Le Sainte Marthe, this amazing little out of the way bistro Colin recommended.
