I've never been to LaCaille before... so when I had the opportunity to go with Jessica for a fine dining course thorugh her school I eagerly accepted for both of us. (Parents were invited.) Jessica took pictures of the beautiful grounds.
The front entrance.
The beautiful pond with many birds from swans to peacocks.
The lighting was not the best but this is the escargot (snail) we enjoyed with a pieces of baguette and a garlic butter sauce. We both ate our single snail serving and found that the snails really had no discernible taste with the sauce and a texture similar to a meaty mushroom (like a Shiitake mushroom). The picture below is a clearer example.
(Thank you to Flickr and Williamnyk for the escargot picture above.)
I had the salmon and Jessica had the chicken. Everything was wonderful and I especially liked that the 6 course dinner was only about a small fraction of what it would have cost if we had just come in to dine off the regular menu. I'm grateful that LaCaille offers this opportunity to students (and some parents) who might otherwise miss out on the wonders of fine dining at this historic establishment.
