We came in with a group of five people. I have to say that the staff is extremely friendly. They…read moreall looked happy to be there, seems like a great place to work! To access the menu you need to scan the QR code on the tables. It opens a menu with a lot of amazing drinks. Unfortunately because I was driving I did not get to enjoy any of them. However a pamplemousse Mojito sounds delicious. They also had six shots for $20 I believe. I wouldn't recommend going with a group of more than four people. The table do feel tight, especially when you like food and everybody is ordering a few things. I ordered the nacho for 4. It came with ground beef, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream and surprisingly guacamole. I said surprisingly because I'm not used to guacamole being serve without being extra. The size of the nachos was definitely not what you would expect for four people. It is definitely on the smaller side. Did not come with a side of salsa or sour cream. I was also surprised I didn't have jalapeño or anything that would make it spicy. We got burrito, quesadillas coming. Nice size would compare to a regular wrap size. Not one of those oversize burrito. The quesadillas also came wrapped as a burrito. Had a little side of salad with tomatoes and guacamole. I found them to be a little disappointing. Good but Not filled and tasty like they should. For dessert I got the gluten-free cheesecake. It was ok can't be mad this is a mexicain spot after all. Haha the spot is really cute they have a cute patio, and cute washroom just be careful the seat slips from side to side.

Bad service Not good for business family nor romantic…read morediner. We visited El Cactus in Shadowgate and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The service was very slow -- it took a long time to get our drinks and even longer for our food to arrive. When the meal finally came, some of us were tired and lost appetite I also noticed the staff seemed disorganized and didn't check in on our table much.Our server seemed distracted and didn't check on our table much during our visit. We waited about 2 hours from the time we arrived until our food finally came. By then, we had lost our appetite. She never came by to acknowledge the long wait or apologize. I really wanted to enjoy the evening, but the lack of attention made it difficult. I really wanted to love this place, but the experience didn't match the expectations. I hope the team can improve their service speed and organization so future guests have a better time.

BEST STEAK HOUSE - Honestly I think this is the top steak house ive been to in Canada. It was so…read moregood and I was blown away. Went in with no expectations but was blown away by everything, from the service, to the food. Gobsmacked that this isn't more well known as I know so many people who has been to montreal countless of times even the locals who hasn't been to this steak house. Its also a casino and cigar lounge so it makes it even better. Oyster rockerfeller ($21) ~ OH GOD this was phenomenal. The bechamel and the parmesan cheese was so rich and paired so well with the fatty and sweet oyster. 10/10. Fried calamari ($24) ~ super crispy, and well seasoned the pieces of calamari were big and the cocktail sauce it paired with was chef kiss. It was perfectly cooked and not rubbery at all! 9.5/10. Linguini with octopus and cuttlefish ($42) ~ the pasta was al dente, there was chunks of tomato, and seafood which was nice. 7.5/10 22oz bone in cowboy rib steak ($75) ~ perfect cooked and perfectly seasoned it was so good and the meat melts in your mouth! It was absolutely chef kiss if I didn't have to share I would've devoured this soo quickly it would've scared everyone. Definitely worth it for the price, and it was beautifully done. 10/10. Wild mushroom ($14) ~ well seasoned and sauteed it was good and the mix of mushrooms were a great pairing with the steak. 8.5/10 Loaded baked potato ($16) ~ I UNDERSTAND - this is a well known side dish here and I know $16 for potato its totally worth it though. The potato was so cheesy and buttery and melts in your mouth it was rich and also paired perfectly with all the dishes we got. This potato was on another level for sure. 10/10. Empress gin & tonic ~ stunning perfect ratio of gin and tonic, and it was delicious an the rosemary on top was the perfect garnish. 10/10.

The staff was incredibly helpful and nice to us with great recommendations. For starters I got the lobster bisque and then had the filet migion for dinner. Exceptional quality on the meat will definitely have me coming back. For dessert we sampled the tiramisu and crème brûlée. The crème brûlée was made with grand marnier and made an excellent edition to the dessert

Amazing Food especially when you play poker and eat/drink for free hahaa…read more On a serious note, the food at the Rail is the best in the area. I always have their Chili as it's one of the best I've tried. It tastes super fresh rich and flavourful. The chili is super thick and seasoned to perfection. I also get drinks here : They make delicious cocktails on the house when you play .. just have to tip the waitress. Service is incredible, the ladies are always coming around and make sure to get everything you order. They come often and very efficiently. The food come pretty quick too maybe 5-10 min and voila the food is at your table waiting to get in to your belly. Overall, pretty awesome menu , service and food is really great. No complaints whatsoever and totally recommend the rail.. if you go to the restaurant section, you'll have to pay for your food but if you play at the tables it's always freee yaaay for free food and drinks. There's some items on the menu that you can only order at the bigger stakes table that's not available at the minimum 1/2$ tables (poker terms) lol but it's pretty awesome overall

I believe breakfast is served until 11 AM. Definitely a spot I'd go back to!

Robbie's Smokehouse is a fun place to go if you like BBQ and all american style eats. I heard some…read moregreat things about their burgers and large portions so I was really excited to come here last Saturday. We were a group a of 4 and arrived around 5:30pm. The place was already packed, although it has 2 floors I think the upper floor is only used for special events. We were told it could be a 45 min wait but luckily the manager later helped us get a table within minutes. This seems to be a very popular place in town so if you are coming on a weekend make sure to reserve. Robbie's looks like a modern steakhouse/sports bar. There's a big bar in the middle of the restaurant with lots of stool seating and the rest of the tables include some really comfortable sofa type chairs. They have a cool Facebook "likes" counter on the wall that spins in real time whenever someone likes their Facebook page which I thought was a good way to promote themselves. There's a big American flag painting on another wall which is a nice ode to traditional American bbq eats. Our group sampled the steak nachos (gigantic whopping portion that easily serves a meal, not an appetizer), the meat platters which has a mix of brisket, pulled pork, chicken and ribs, along with the mac and cheese and standard sides like fries, coleslaw, mashed potatoes. The chicken and meats were really tender and juicy however we found that the ribs kind of taste like regular smoked ham which was kind of disappointing. The steak nachos were delicious, the portion was huge and there was enough nacho cheese for each bite which is amazing because restaurants often lack toppings but this was overwhelmingly awesome. The only drawback was the extra charge for sour cream, whether you want some for your $20 nachos or for your baked potato, this sets you back an extra $1.75. I've dined in so many other steakhouses and restaurants that do not charge for this extra so I find that a little cheap for Robbie's. Further, there are no free refills on fountain sodas and certain items like the mac and cheese or sides were quite small. For example the coleslaw came in a tiny plastic cup that was enough for 3 or 4 bites only. Cabbage is something that really doesn't cost much, I think if they're going to serve my meal in a huge fancy square plate, they should have made more of an effort to fill it. For a restaurant that constantly advertises themselves on Facebook with a slogan of "GO BIG OR GO HOME", I was expecting larger portions but the only large plate was the nachos. Main meals were average sized and fairly priced considering there are no taxes but this is in no way comparable to the portion or service you'd get in the states if you were hoping for American dining. If you enjoy a massive food challenge, they do offer a giant burger, fries and pitcher of beer deal for around $120 dollars- if you're able to finish it, it's free. Although the regular portions are not as gigantic as they made it seem, the food was still excellent, I enjoyed every item I ordered and I would consider coming back for their Sunday all-you-can-eat brunch or just to try their deluxe burgers. The menu was extensive and very appetizing. Bonus, lots, lots of free parking and free wifi.

FOOD: clam chowder over salted Mushroom…read moreburger, hardly any mushrooms, served on mushy buns and one good size patty would do, no need for 2 thin ones that slides off. SERVICE: awful, our server was frustrated, manager came to see us twice if we had paid while we were still eating. We ( a group og 9) are being kicked out. DON'T OVER BOOK AMBIANCE: NOT IMPRESSED. Kept on being bumped by waiters and busboys In other words Don't go there, WE SURE WON'T

This was my "nice" meal during my very short trip to Montreal last weekend, and it turned out to be…read morea great choice. There are 2 sides of the restaurant: the more casual order what you want brasserie side and then the fancier multi-course chef menu side. I chose the brasserie side, where I had a reservation for a bar seat - turns out that wasn't really that necessary as there were several individual bar seats open; A group would probably have a difficult time getting a seat on a Friday evening though. For drinks, I had a paper plane and a last word. Those are my two go to cocktails for nicer bars, and they pulled them off fantastically (they also knew what I was talking about which is kind of rare for the last word). For an extra nice touch, they clipped an actual paper plane to the paper plane drink. Fun! For food, I ordered the Duck Confit. It was super crispy on the outside, but the meat was super tender and juicy and melted off of the bone. My mouth is watering while thinking about it. It also came with bread service. For dessert I had the tiramisu. I would give it a 4/5 - it was a little more bland than others I've had - not bad at all, but not my favorite one of all time. They seem to be serious about their coffee (see pictures). Since I was sitting right in front of it I had to order one to go with the tiramisu. I had a basic americano, and it was a great addition. My only real complaint is the bar seating felt a little bit exposed as the main walkway through the restaurant goes along the bar seating. Drinks 5/5, Service 5/5, Food 5/5, Ambience 4/5

Monarque is one of those restaurants where the service leaves a stronger impression than the food…read moreitself. After discovering Monarque in the Michelin Guide, we made a reservation during our time in Old Montréal, excited for an elevated dining experience with some adventurous dishes. We started with the bone marrow and also ordered the schnitzel, duck, and swordfish. The clear standout of the evening was the swordfish. Beautifully light and flaky, paired with a delicious couscous that gave the dish just enough substance without taking away from the delicate fish. It was easily my favorite bite of the night. The schnitzel and duck, however, didn't quite live up to the same standard. While both were good, I felt the heavier citrus-forward sauces did much of the work in bringing the dishes together rather than allowing the proteins themselves to shine. I appreciate a kitchen willing to experiment with less conventional dishes and bold flavor combinations, but some of these felt more interesting in concept than execution. The duck in particular is something I could have done without. Where Monarque truly excels is hospitality. The service was easily the highlight of our evening. The staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful in navigating the menu. This is the kind of establishment where if you drop your fork, someone is practically there with a replacement before you've had a chance to pick it up. The pacing was seamless, and the entire experience felt thoughtfully orchestrated. The atmosphere is elegant and formal, with dim lighting, white tablecloths, and an upscale setting that lends itself beautifully to an anniversary or special occasion dinner. My biggest hesitation comes down to the value. At this price point, I expect the food to be just as memorable as the service, and unfortunately, that wasn't quite the case for us. My verdict: 3/5 stars. Monarque is worth experiencing once, especially if you appreciate exceptional hospitality and an adventurous menu. But while I left impressed by the service, the food didn't earn a spot among my top-tier dining experiences. If you do visit, the swordfish would be my recommendation!
