Around 1997, about 27 years ago I had my first meal at a French restaurant. At the Bonaparte in Montreal currently but I am not sure if it’s the same restaurant. I remember the meal was five courses and I remember the lobster bisque the most. The restaurant had wood paneling and probably a private room. It was located in the Old French quarter. Dm on Instagram @gpshere if you know the restaurant. This restaurant opened at 5:30 pm. #food #travel
