    Lasagne
    Shabbir S.

    They stay open past midnight, that was the plus point for choosing this restaurant. Service was good, friendly servers, good food, moderately nice ambiance. We had burger and lasagne. Quality was about average, however the lasagne was quite large for one person! Finding a parking spot (street parking) can be challenging, even late at the night.

    a pizza on a table with plates of food

    We finally got around to trying @alto_restaurant and their 2022 Pizza Week people's choice winning Alt-O-Max pizza. Yes, it took us two years but it was worth the wait because wow!  Packed with pickles, lettuce, cheese, ground beef and a distinctive and enticing Alto sauce - "Max" is the right name for this pizza. Supported by a thick yet light crust its taste closely resembles a Big Mac and, quite frankly, that's a wonderful thing. Even after a full day of pigging out we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and wanted more than our stomach could handle. Our only regret is that we didn't get to try the New Mac N' Cheese balls, they sounded incredible. Oh, and if you're like me and consistently give in to diet-destroying late night cravings... They deliver past midnight. Just saying

    Wanted pizza after seeing the Montreal Canadiens and asked some locals for a recommendation - we ended up here! The service was amazing! Every person working who we spoke to were beyond friendly and accommodating to our request (putting the toppings under the cheese!) The restaurant was nice and clean. Lots of tables! The pizza was delicious... the sauce, the crust, the toppings.. all good! I'd make it a mission to eat here again when I'm back in Montreal!

    Suite au fait quil ont gagné un concours pour la meilleur Pizzajy suis aller faire un tour. Asseoir la pizza qui a gagné est pas sur le menu. Pour ma part j'ai choisi la spéciale Alto.

Belle ambiance et service excellent.

    Food tastes great, very consistent and fresh. Staff is friendly. Highly Recommend. I've had most things on the menu, the meatlovers pizza is a great choice, so is the pita gyro, and everything else on the menu.

    Chicken parmigiana sub
    Issan Z.

    Alto is a well-known and popular spot for students around McGill. Since the fire a few years ago, it re-opened as a newer, bigger place, with a nice terrasse and cool mural. The menu is diverse, comprising of Italian, diner and fast-food classics such as pasta, burgers, poutine, etc. We dropped by for dinner and opted for the club sandwich and the chicken parmigiana sub. Food came fairly fast but was underwhelming. The chicken was cut into strips, which made each bite uneven (some bites had little to no chicken). There was a generous layer of melted mozzarella cheese, but it wasn't enough to compensate for the rather bland tomato sauce. The club sandwich had a generous layer of ham, and absolutly delicious fries. I'm a great fan of McDonald-style fries, and Alto's were very similar. I finished the fries in no time and that was my favorite part of the meal. The worst part was the coleslaw, which was cut so thin that the cabbage had the texture of wet yarn. Service was very nice but the food was just ok. I doubt they can optimize everything on their menu when there's more than 100 items!

    Alto Poutine with bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, and red peppers
    Chan N.

    This past Saturday, I got the small Alto Poutine that came with bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, and red peppers. Wow, what I got was considered a small? I wonder what large would have been like. It was still steaming after I walked to Place-des-Arts to sit and eat. The fries stayed crispy throughout eating it. It did just fine for filling my tummy and was yummy, though it's not the best or the worst poutine I've had. Additionally, I would recommend the pizza. The Meatballs & Red Peppers pizza was superb and one of my favorite pizzas I've tried downtown. Lastly, I'm glad the cashier listened when I asked for napkins and no plastic utensils. Definitely check this place out if you live or are around the McGill Ghetto!

    Great Pizza .. old school quebec pizza .. probably the best in montreal .. friendly staff .. loved that place .. next time im trying the submarine and a club sandwish

    Chicken souvlaki plate
    Jessica K.

    Finally tried Alto's again since it's re-opening and was really satisfied with my visit. New location is directly across the previous restaurant, conveniently situated near student residences and McGill's campus. It's really spacious, with plenty of tables and an open kitchen concept. From burgers to souvlaki to pasta to dessert, they've got a huge variety of homey, diner-like foods. Despite the longer than average waiting time, the food really hit the spot. I'm a fan of the chicken souvlaki plate and my friends swear by the el Diablo burger. The fries that come with the dishes taste like Costco fries (the deep fried heavenly kind) and the serving sizes are generous. It's open till the wee hours in the morning (4-5am) so it's a great alternative to your average fast food joints.

    Penne with Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken, loved it!

    Great Service, great food!! Had a great experience eating here. Ordered Penne Alfredo with grilled chicken, which I was advised comes crispy also! The grilled chicken was very flavorful and had a slight charred taste which complimented the Alfredo sauce. Alto special (half pictured, half eaten already ‍) so good. Wasn't overly thick on the dough. Tasted great!

    Veggi and grilled chicken burgers for take out
    Crystal Y.

    We ordered 2 burgers (veggi & grilled chicken) for take-out but waited for more than 20 minutes. The flavor was ok.

    This place was amazing. Lots of food choices, great options, shakes are delish, seating is spacious and hip music in the background. Just enjoyable and not too loud. Had a great experience!

We stopped at No. 900, a casual Neapolitan pizzeria with several locations around Montreal. This one was especially convenient because it's right next door to the Residence Inn. Since I was joining dinner, we settled outside. It was getting a little cold, so rather than sit on the ground like some sort of common street dog, I remained bundled up in my carrier. Comfort is important when conducting restaurant reviews. Dad ordered the Margherita pizza, which looked perfectly respectable. Mom, however, ordered the ham and roasted mushroom pizza. Ham. Suddenly I was considerably more invested in dinner. The pizza arrived with big pieces of ham scattered across the top, and after what I can only assume was an intense internal debate about whether she really needed all of it, Mom gave me some. Finally. A restaurant review where the critic is actually permitted to sample the food. The ham was excellent. I would have liked to conduct a larger sampling for quality-control purposes, but apparently there are "limits." The humans were very happy with their pizzas, and the warm, freshly made pizza was exactly what they wanted on a chilly night. For me, the combination of outdoor seating, carrier-level coziness and actual participation in dinner made this a successful evening. Dogba's verdict: 4 paws out of 5. Neapolitan pizza: human approved Dog-friendly outdoor seating: yes Chilly-night carrier accommodations: luxurious Roasted mushrooms: Mom's department Ham: SHARED WITH DOGBA Mom's sharing performance: significant improvement Convenience for Residence Inn guests: excellent My career as an Italian food critic: progressing nicely Would return. Preferably during warmer weather. Definitely with the ham.

    Montreal now has world class pizza! After many years of coming here and being forced to eat…read morepoutine, smoked meat, great steaks, and Canadian interpretations on various cuisines ... I now have a pizza option that rivals the best of NY, New Haven, and all the rest! Pizza Bouquet is labeled as a hybrid of other styles (NY and New Haven) and they are spot on ... more leaning to the NY version. This is exceptional pizza created by an energetic and passionate staff. I have only been there once, but in that short visit it was obvious that the pizza reflects the people that work there ... creative, fun, unique, and welcoming. They sell several great pies and actually offer both slices and whole pies. I ordered a pepperoni and hot pepper pie but as I sat there I had to get a slice of their upside down pie. While they were both outstanding, I have to say, what I cannot stop thinking about was that upside down slice. That was freaking magical. I would eat it there through because of the complexity and nuances of the actual pizza. Do not let this one sit ... trust me. Overall, this is a destination pizza in my book ,,, welcome to the world of pizza relevance Pizza Bouquet ... you guys do it right. Special shout out to the lovely ladies that danced through the entire preparation of my pie. Loved everything about this place!

    New Montreal style pizza…read more Considering I've not heard of or tried "old Montreal style pizza"; just sayin'. The crust, similar to the NYC pie. Thin, gently crisp, some chew and char. Easily foldable. Follow it up with just the right amount of quality ingredients are brought together in just the right proportions with quirky flair. Upside down pizza (cheese first, sauce on top) or stranger still, a double carb potato pizza. Speaking of, the potato pie is so good. All the ingredients from a potato mille feuille with a hit of fresh rosemary and grana padano atop the well made crust. Rich, creamy, nuff said. Equally good the mushroom with its "mushroom cream" (think a thin duxelles) base, rosemary to season and meaty creminis and motz to round it all out. Finally the sopressatta. I mean, come on, who doesn't love a cheese pie made even more complex with goat cheese, honey and grana padano? Sold by the slice or whole 18 inch pie. Inexpensive. Is it better than the NYC pie? No. But it's definitely not as boring either.
