Mondo Italiano
The most prized Italian imports aren’t always from Prada and Fellini.
Chefs around the world lineup for Italy’s imported white truffles, and these “diamonds of the kitchen” are now being flown into Montreal from the Northern region of Piedmont. For a nibble, we recommend the truffle tasting platters (from $25) at BU.
Part chic lounge, part Euro cantina, it’s the perfect spot for enjoying these little delicacies. Better still, the sommelier-trained servers can recommend a matching wine by the glass (we like the 2006 Chianti Ruffina).
But get there quick. Like the latest Prada It bag, they’ll be gone in less than a week.
Truffle menu at BU until November 30th, 5425 St. Laurent Blvd., Montreal, 514-276-0249, www.bu-mtl.com
