    Smoked meat poutine + chicken poutine
    Lana S.

    Came across this place Walking towards old Port. We were starving and this place had a decent menu and a cute outdoor seating area. My friend and I decided on two poutines and two cokes. I got the smoked meat poutine which was good. We were starving so everything tasted good at the time. There wasn't that much smoked meat which was disappointing but there was plenty of gravy, fries and cheese curds. My friend liked her chicken poutine as well. Both had a different taste but it was pretty good. The thing we didn't like is all the bees that kept buzzing around us while we are and the service was a little slow. Overall thought not too bad for our first meal in Montreal :)

    Calamari

    I ordered takeout from this restaurant so I can't speak too much on the dine-in experience. However everyone that I spoke to greeted me with a smile and was very kind. I was offered ice water while I waited for my order which was much appreciated since it was warm outside. I ordered the calamari and it was delicious!!! At first I was a little hesitant being that I'm from New England and sometimes when I order calamari outside of New England, I'm disappointed. But their calamari was one of the best I've tried yet! It was too heavily breaded, just right. And the sauce that came with it was so tasty! Highly recommend

    We were walking by the Old Port and looking for a place to grab a quick bite. We noticed this place on the corner (great location) and decided to go in. The place was surprisingly empty on a busy day at the Port. We were seating right away. Our server was very friendly. The menu had a variety of items including pasta dishes and pizza. They also have a pizza combo with beer which is a great deal. We ordered the pizza and chicken nuggets and fries. We also had some drinks (canned sodas) and a draft Stella Beer, which was fresh and not flat. The food came out in about 15 minutes. The pizza was okay, as were the nuggets and fries. Prices were fair and reasonable for the area.

    Bloody caesar and glass of white zinfandel

    We stopped in here for a quick "snack"/early dinner. It's right across the street from the river and they had some outdoor seating but it was a bit cold so we sat inside. I got a glass of wine and my husband got a bloody caesar that was a little sweet. The pizza was great! We shared the Quebec pizza (I think that's what it was called) and it had all kinds of stuff on it including TONS of bacon. I really liked it. The crust was thinner and crispy on the bottom. It was 4 pieces total and they split it for us before bringing it to the table which was nice. I think it was around $15. If we were going there for a forreal dinner we would probably have gotten our own pizzas. It's a bit cheaper than a lot of restaurants we passed in Old Montreal. Service was nice and the ambiance was casual but also nice. Would go again!

    Food was delightful!

    Typical old Italian restaurant of Montreal. The salad looks good and great. The service is rapid…read moreand nicely done.

    Restaurants in Montreal with the name of an Italian region - 2 of 2…read more I had seen Restaurant Siciliana before. It is on Rue Stanley, not too far away from the Peel Metro Station. Rue Stanley always makes for a chuckle. I have known very few people with that name. However, it's the eponymous name of a (not even) B movie about someone's dangerous pet snake. I looked at the menu board at around lunch time. It seemed like a generic Italian restaurant, with a broad-based Italian menu and not one that was particularly Sicilian. But this was at lunch time, and I was walking down the street with something to do. I returned for dinner another day. Everything at Restaurant Siciliana was sort of perfunctory and ordinary. The interior is old school and has the red and white check tablecloths. The wood fired pizza oven is visible from the restaurant. They seat you quickly and I wanted to sit closer to the back and next to a wall, to which they obliged. Since I could not find a wall outlet, they were willing to charge my phone for me. I did not want a pizza. For that, I might go to dei Compari, which I very much like. I was looking for pasta. Since I couldn't see what it might look like or what others had ordered, I settled on the trio - three types of pasta. I've seen this done before at other Italian eateries and, within reason, they allow substitutions. Here, the wiggle room is not that much (that means no filled pasta or lasagna/e) and there is an upcharge for the allowed changes. I wanted to swap out a pasta with Alfredo sauce and they did so for another pasta that is also on their menu at the same price, but with a $3 upcharge (for U.S., divide by ~1.36). Is that that much of an inconvenience? Everything was ok - one in a Bolognese sauce, one in a rose' sauce, and one in a pesto sauce - except that the pesto sauce was a little oily and didn't sit with me. To drink, I had a ginger ale. I'm beginning to like that stuff. The service was good. It was also expedient, albeit a little reserved. This was a 3-star event and, going forward, I will continue to look for other Italian (and Sicilian) restaurants in the area. I would love to know of an authentic Sicilian restaurant in the agglomeration that is Montreal. The very first Italian restaurant at which I ate in Montreal was just up the street, at Stanely and Maisonneuve. Either a Chapters or a newer building went in. That restaurant was more of a diner, which explains why it wouldn't be there - close to the financial district - anymore. Change can be hard to accept. I remember that that was also the first time I had heard the term rose' sauce. This is what Eastern Canada refers to a pink tomato-cream sauce. The middle-aged dark-haired woman who helped me had to have been from the western part of Montreal or its island, spoke perfect English with mannerisms suitable for an Italian neighborhood the Northeastern U.S., and looked like Kaye Ballard. I would have preferred a restaurant like that to this one for the price-quality rapport of the food and a Rue Stanley/Financial District location. If you are a tourist and your time is metered, I might skip this one. If you are a local, you can try Restaurant Siciliana for pizzas and/or pasta and see if it suits you.

    Restaurant Siciliana - Since, like French, Italian is gendered, Trattoria Siciliana would be correct but I'm not so sure about Restaurant Siciliana.

Extremely rich in flavor and delicious. They even placed the burrata on the side for my fiancé to have since I was unable to eat it. The service was great. They checked in often and were very polite. Had a wonderful experience and highly recommend them!!

    Cafe Presto was a unique little storefront restaurant. We were standing around outside wondering…read morewhere to go have dinner when the owner of this little place stuck his head out and said "come on in." With such a quirky start, we did just that. Inside this little place there are maybe a dozen tables ... mostly for two. The place was casual, unpretentious, and relatively inexpensive. Service was friendly and spot on. Now the owner who drew us in - whatever his name - does it all here. He seated us, we saw him clean off some tables, and he goes back and forth in the kitchen personally making each dish. He had only two helpers ... one doing dishes and the other helping wait the tables especially when he was fixing a plate. The meals are essentially light pasta with light sauces ... nothing much heavy here. It is meant to be a quick lunch spot, and only stays open a while after hours. The menu - posted in the front window - is written on a sheet of paper and usually is about 8 different pastas and sauces; after you sit at a table you will find that the current list is generally smaller as they have run out of stuff during the day. Be that as it may, it was pretty good food. We had the Canelloni Rossini (4 stars with a light red sauce), Penne Arrabbiata (4 stars with another very light sauce), and a Calypso Salad (4 stars with very nice greens). The big takeaway was that he can make any kind of quick pasta and put any one of his light sauces on it for a quick meal. The sauces were nice - very light but nice. The pastas could have been a bit fresher. Interestingly, they only take cash - and that is not mentioned on the front window. He does have an ATM machine inside to help you cover the cash, but he should really announce this out front, especially for all the tourists that are in Montreal. Our bill came to $70 and he wrote down $80 ... maybe he included the tip for us - don't know, but pay attention to your bill on the way out. In fairness, the prices are reasonable here - $4.95 for a glass of the house Chianti, and every one of the pasta meals were simply $9.95. Canoli were $6.00 each.

    Hmmm, I've never gone to a restaurant where they don't offer menus, until this one. I personally…read moredid not like this, but whatever floats your boat and makes you happy. Of course after we ordered we discovered a have written, 8" x 11" menu on one of the walls. Would have been nice to have been directed to that earlier... anyway moving on. Food was okay, we ordered spaghetti... the sausage was really good, bread, meatball and red sauce were a little bland. ‍ overall we most likely wouldn't be back.

What was memorable was the sweet, sweet corn. Bread and butter were served at our table.

(I had another Italian spot for dinner that night, and L'usine just didn't meet the bar.) The menu said this is the classic from L'usine. #19 Le Grand Prix CAD$38 - The lamb chops were pretty good! However again the pesto pasta was lacking again. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Bathroom is down the stairs. It reminded me of being under a pirate ship for some reason. Only indoor seating
