The Montreal Private Table

A condo kitchen can feel like a private dining room when the food, glassware, pacing and edit all point in the same direction.

The Montreal Private Table

The table is intimate rather than restaurant-polished. The power is that it feels like a private table: sake, wine, seafood, black dishes, a counter, two glasses and the intimacy of food made at home.

The recipe is only one part of the experience. The real identity comes from the repeated details: the plate, the light, the glass, the garnish, the crop, the pace.
