Debra – it is!

Isabelle – you won’t be disappointed. If you can make it (and budget the splurge), I’d recommend the Farmers’ Market Dinner.

Valerie – every lunch can’t be an indulgence .

Eva – I’d love to see it on their regular menu, but I would imagne the fact that it’s a special Sylvan Star product would prevent that from happening. The blue cheese poutine you describe sounds intriguing.

Marianne – the truffles may have resulted in my need for a mid-afternoon nap, heh.

Binster – sorry to hear your risotto was overcooked. I hope the rest of your experience was good though.

That’s one upmarket poutine. I had risotto during DDW … overcooked … but the other courses were fine.

Thanks for the post, Sharon. I’m so glad to hear that the poutine was great… we had reservations for lunch at Madison’s during DDW, but had to cancel as other things came up. I’m making a point to head back though… the food looks great!

And those truffles look great. What a treat mid-day.

I’ve only been there once but it was fantastic! That poutine sounds great, wish I had time to try it during downtown dining week.

Can’t say it’s an item I’ve seen very often at nice restaurants, but there is a place in Victoria that does it with blue cheese and it’s delicious!

Gosh. I am clearly not living the life. Sitting here with my bowl of soup and OJ. Looks outstanding!

That sounds lovely. I have been meaning to go to Madison’s for a while – I live practically across the street! Thanks to all you’ve written about him, I now know Chef Lebsack is a huge supporter of local foods which just makes me want to visit even more.

Madison’s Grill is great, isn’t it? Nice to hear that poutine has gone upscale.
