See Urbanista as a happy-go-lucky spot in the Plateau Mont-Royal area where music keeps playing and smiles don't stop. Their style is mish-mash but comes together in their own funky way: Cabbage Patch Doll perched up on a shelf, some small decorative palm trees and tchotchkes everywhere. The bar looked is stocked with a nice arsenal of bottles but our Midori Sour and hubs' Jack & Coke drinks were pure juice and no strength. To add, when I tried using my Yelp check-in offer, I was told that they didn't know anything about the offer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Plus it was almost upsetting that they thought I wanted a 'free' drink when it was actually an 'offer' their business put out. Anyhow. The owner(?) was pleasant and even though she didn't know about the Yelp check-in offer, Urbanista's vibe is really up our alley. Since cocktails didn't wow me, perhaps their bites would've.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth. Even though the restaurant was…read moreabsolutely packed, the service never missed a beat. Every person on the team seemed fully in sync, effortlessly anticipating what guests needed before they even asked. It's rare to see that level of teamwork executed so smoothly. We ordered: * Le croque-pétoncle (scallop sandwiches) * Brochette de langue de boeuf (beef tongue) * Boeuf de pâturage (raw grass-fed beef) Oursin QC (sea urchin): It was silky, and has that nutty toasted richness from the brown butter. Parfait de foie (liver parfait): It was smooth, and velvety without being heavy. It's the kind of dish that lingers in your memory long after the meal ends. I still occasionally talk about it. Every dish was thoughtful and balanced, not a single bite needed extra seasoning. The flavors had depth, and precision. And though the scallop sandwiches and dessert didn't quite hit the same high notes for me, but everything else more than made up for it. Amazing food and amazing service! I can't wait to be back again and just for that parfait de foie alone.

Before I get into it, this place is cute and trendy. I liked that aspect before it turned bad. I…read morewent for an event with my university, mostly just tapas style and it pretty good. The service was the bad part. They skipped over a lot of people and were kinda rude. They told a few people that "just so you know so you aren't like your friend, tipping isn't included"... They were being rude because they didn't tip when it's always optional. The people who didn't tip weren't really served and didn't eat... I don't know, not an ideal situation for the group mixed with the service. The lady that serviced us was super nice but the two men who helped with the party were not. It would probably be better as just a sit down casual spot and not for an event.

We came here after dinner nearby. It's located within this block of new condos. I think we came…read moreabout an hour before Monopole closed. There were full tables, but not too loud or squished. Cozy, I would say. Luckily there was a table for the two of us. We came for a post-dinner wine so we didn't order any food items off their menu soir. I got a rose and my friend got one of the cocktails, the tea punch. The cocktail menu is limited but they have a decent selection of a variety of wines. There was already a small bowl of lemon and pepper popcorn, that I couldn't help snacking on, hah! Wine and cocktail was good. I liked that we could easily converse without loud music. My friend ended up getting a dessert, the chocolate and maple crumble. I had a bite - pretty good! Definitely very maple-y. Staff spoke English and French fluently. Quite nice and efficient. I also really liked that there is a bus stop directly outside and the bus takes you to the MTL metro station, which was awesome because it was snowing and I was not looking forward to walking 20 mins in the snow.

We liked the flagship little burgundy ham but didn't get why it was a "must try." Carrot cake ice cream sandwich was devine. The only thing we would change is the canned 70-80s hits music.
