We wanted to try the Tomahawk but it wasn't on the menu so we decided to do steak on another day. To drink we ordered the apple cider. The cider was delicious and very crispy like I was eating a Cortland apple. We were served crispy bread with herb butter. The bread was crispy like toast and the butter was soft. It came with a small jar of baby dill pickles. They had a good crunch! We started with the lobster bisque. This bisque was very tasty. We could taste the lobster and it was very light; not a heavy or overly creamy soup. Pooh ordered the seafood risotto and I took the Dijon chicken. Both dishes were amazing. Pooh really enjoyed his risotto. He likes the addition of zucchini to give it a little crunch . The seafood was cooked to perfection. My chicken was super tender. I could taste the Dijon mustard. The mashed potatoes were smooth and the green beans were crispy and cooked perfectly. Our server was very polite and checked on us regularly. He apologized for not getting the wine when our meal arrived. Our only complaint was the wine. Usually the wine arrives right before the meal but our meal arrived first and we ate slowly as we waited for the wine to come. The wine arrived five minutes later and the server explained that it wasn't cold enough to give us. By the time I finished eating (because we had to wait for the wine) my potatoes were cold. We finished our evening with dessert. I had the lemon-in-a-jar and Pooh had the Crème brûlée. Pooh's crème brûlée was perfect. My lemon dessert was too sweet. The tartness of the lemon was overpowered by the sweetness of the almond crumble We enjoyed our meal and the service was excellent but they need to put the white wine in a cooler sooner.

I order a salmon meal. The salmon was tasteless but thankfully the sauce helped it. The mocktail was good. They had quite good amount of people there on a Sunday but definitely had open tables if I wanted to sit at a two seater but they suggested I go to the bar which is huge, but no one else was sitting there. Overall an okay spot, nice inside, my one dish was mediocre but not sure what the other dishes taste like.

It's a small place with a short menu but it's worth every penny!!

Very charming. Very historic. Very hard on tiny legs. So when we spotted the outdoor terrace at Buvette Pastek, I authorized an immediate rest period. Excellent decision. The terrace sits right along rue Saint-Paul, in the middle of all the Old Montréal activity. But what really caught our attention was the beautiful canopy overhead. It has this intricate, almost paper-cut appearance that filters the light and makes the whole terrace feel especially pretty. There were also hanging plants and string lights. comes a point during every sightseeing day when a small dog must put his paw down.

It has this intricate, almost paper-cut appearance that filters the light and makes the whole terrace feel especially pretty. There were also hanging plants and string lights. Mom was delighted. I was mostly delighted that we had stopped walking. Mom ordered a glass of wine while Dad decided to continue his research into Québec beverages with a local beer. Someone has to support the regional economy. They also brought out a small basket of bread with butter, which immediately became the subject of my attention. I watched. I waited. I conducted a detailed assessment of the bread-sharing situation. My findings will remain confidential. We didn't have a full meal because this visit was strictly about resting our paws, but the menu looked wonderful and definitely made Mom and Dad consider staying longer. For me, though, this stop accomplished exactly what was required: a comfortable place to sit outside with my humans, take in the atmosphere of Old Montréal and recover before someone inevitably announced that it was time to start walking again. Dogba's verdict: 3 paws out of 5. Old Montréal location: beautiful Cobblestone-street atmosphere: extremely Montréal Outdoor terrace: lovely Cutout canopy overhead: gorgeous Mom's wine break: successful Dad's local beer research: ongoing Bread basket: closely monitored People watching: excellent Tiny-leg recovery: desperately needed Menu reconnaissance: return visit warranted Would I return? Absolutely--and next time I vote that we actually eat. Although I would also like to formally propose a new Old Montréal tourism policy: For every kilometer of cobblestones, Dogba receives one hour at Buvette Pastek. Seems fair.

Unfortunately Le Tomate Blanche is located in Dix/30 which is an automatic minus 1 for ambiance, however I'll admit that it is a convenient location for a business lunch. The interior atmosphere of the restaurant is quite nice and they do have a terrace, but this puts you in the middle of Dix/30 overlooking shops and parking spaces. I had the buffalo mozzarella to start and the risotto as my main course. Both were good but not particularly special. The service was attentive, friendly and quick.

Saw the add of Facebook and decided to go try it out as there are not a lot of good options in the South Shore. Very extensive wine list with pricing from low $60s to $$$ so you can choose according to your budget. The menu is also pretty light but with a good selection. We were 2 people and went with an entree of scallop and Crudo. Main we shared the lobster cavatellis. Oh boy the food came to the table and fabulous presentation. The taste was also amazing...especially the crudo dish...that sauce was to die for. The lobster cavatellis was also amazing...the pasta was still a bit al dente just as it should be and the sauce was so yummy...we almost licked the plate clean! Desserts were also pretty good. I preferred the strawberry one over the panacota. Did I also mention the decor was modern and classy? It's definitely a place you can bring a date or customers for business lunch or dinner. The crowd was a bit older which is normal because the ambiance is more quiet and pricing is higher than a normal bar. Would a 100% go back there very soon to try more of their wine and food.

I ordered the bloody pincette and I saw it at the bar ready for 10 or 15 mins so by the time I got it, it was so watered down. The oyster that came with it was good but I was nervous bc it was just sitting up at the bar for a bit not on ice. The fried shrimp it came with was like jerky, over cooked is an understatement. The lobster cake was filler and potato and the remoulade was odd. The crab and lobster poutine was such a disappointment. We went out of our way to try this place and it was so upsetting. The lobster was rubbery but the seasoning was good but couldn't make it better. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone

We were warmly greeted, and they inquired if we were there for a table/bar seating, or the retail shop. We sat at the bar, and there were other customers at tables enjoying a glass and engrossed in conversation. They offer a small snack menu, along with a selection of wines, and they have a good knowledge and will provide counsel on the options. We ordered the ricotta toast and the lonzo, a ham similar to prosciutto. Both were delicious! The lonzo comes with a drizzle of quality olive oil on top, and a sprinkle of salt, and a dab of mustard. The ricotta toast (no pic sorry) was also tasty. The space leans to industrial loft, but is warm and invites conversations and relaxation. The shop also has a retail space, and a monthly wine club subscription is an option. It is separated from the restaurant, but not a quirk of their shop, but archaic Vermont liquor laws. We decide to subscribe and picked up our first selections to take home.

The waitress staff was able to quickly get our orders. The only downside with the wait staff was they seemed a bit pressured for us to keep ordering though we had only stopped by for drinks and to kill time before going to another location. The drinks were delicious. The Cafe con leche was just the right consistency of creaminess without being a pudding consistency or too thick. I love the banana chips as a garnish on top. It was a nice touch. The mela mama loco was a hint of sweet and sour. The tiki takata was pretty while being deliciously tropical. The summer mule had a refreshing flavor and spritz to the drink. I really liked that the chips were thick and didn't break when trying to get a decent amount of the dip onto it. I would highly recommend to ask for the hot sauces. They have 4 varieties to try from sweet to hot. Overall would come again on an empty stomach to try other foods they have available.
