Montreal is not the most trend-driven city for restaurants, but we have seen our share of restaurant genres come and go. And let's just say I wasn't all that surprised when the raw-food restaurant didn't open a branch in every neighbourhood. But one food trend I wish would take on a bigger slice of the market is tapas. Maybe it's because I have to eat off everyone's plate when I dine out, but the idea of a plethora of plates hitting the table for all to share never gets old. This sort of nibble-then-move-on noshing, fueled with some fine wines, has become my favourite of dining styles. Compared with small-plate dining, the traditional appetizer-main-course-dessert option seems downright stodgy. Problem is in Montreal the number of good tapas restaurants can be counted on one hand. So I was thrilled to find one I had yet to review: Confusion.
