Beaver Club Description:
On the main floor of Montreal's "Grand Dame," Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth, is the redesigned Beaver Club restaurant. Start off with the pan-fried duckling foie gras (from Marieville, Quebec) with strawberry, rhubarb and maple caramel marmalade; the sweet, fruity mix nicely sets off the taste of the liver. The filet mignon flambéed tableside in Canadian Club whiskey is a sight to behold, and as richly meaty as the generous slab of juicy prime rib bathed in a mix of miniature squash, bell peppers and sweet beets. Desserts are a work of considerable imagination, such as the trilogy of crème brûlée, the chocolate-orange temptation or a local favorite, the Quebec strawberries passionara. The Beaver Club's gregarious waiters and maître d' help navigate the 30-page wine list, which focuses on France and California, and also includes selections from Canada, Spain, New Zealand and South Africa. They might choose a winner like the Marcel Deiss Muscat d'Alsace, 2004 (a nice accompaniment for the foie gras, by the way).
