I'm reviewing the all-you-can-eat brunch buffet for this newly opened little Italy location which…read moreis offered every weekend from 11 to 4pm. I have dined in the evening at their St Denis branch and had a great experience and I'm happy to report the brunch was equally amazing. If you've ever dreamed of all you can eat AND drink (yes, all you can drink beer and mimosas), then Saint-Houblon is the place for you. Although this restaurant is more of a bar,the food quality and choices are truly refined. They source their own locally greenhouse grown veggies when possible and offer a range of elevated dishes with vibrant colors and combinations. With over 24 beers on tap and seasonal specials, this is the best place to try variety. For $30 a person (price can vary depending on season, it was $25 in January), you can choose an assortment of eggs (regular, benedict, scottish), sausage, bacon, creton, salmon rilette, chicken & waffles, pancakes, toast, bagels, garlic potatoes, quiche, beans etc with all you can drink beer (any on tap!) and mimosas. Similar to how you would order sushi at an asian restaurant, you are provided with a menu sheet for the group and just need to list how many of each item you want to order. You can keep on ordering as much as you like. For me the highlight were the eggs benedict, served over your choice of veggies or meat and resting on a sweet bun, the sauce was so flavorful and the pulled pork or brisket (not sure what it was) was melt in your mouth. If you want to get your money's worth, stay away from waffles or pancakes, they were extremely filling. Everything else is delish!! Fun to come as a group then you can really sample every item on the menu.

Our nightlife is what makes our city and I really hope the provincial and federal government get together behind some actual coordinated support for these crucial local businesses. I used to live near Hemisphere gauche and have walked by all kinds of different crowds gathered outside, it's so awesome to see how different kinds of communities can feel welcomed in live music venues and bars and I love walking by and feeling, not just unthreatened, but somehow welcomed in their midst. I've sat on the window ledge here and enjoyed a cheep beer and the people watching, and I've rolled in here with a crew of badass lady friends after another bar closed and the staff let us take over their karaoke set up and drink whiskey and sing all our frustrations out till closing time, no fuss.

The place wasn't packed when we sat down, but our waiter was really attentive. We ordered a medium sized pitcher of the rose sangria(which was FULL of ice) and didn't give us a buzz whatsoever. I would recommend a large for 2 people.... and maybe to ask for less ice. We also ordered the 2 mini desserts which were chocolate pudding in a mason jar and some white vanilla pudding. They were $4 CAD each and pretty good. Got 4 tequila shots for $20 CAD as well which was great. The overall vibe of the place is really cool and when we were leaving around midnight, the line to get in wrapped AROUND the block

From the playful yet chic interior to the artistic and unique decorations, the restaurant is overall such a fun place to spend time with friends! There is so much to do inside the restaurant besides eating. In addition to their fantastic interior and layout, the service and food are also on point. Service is fast and friendly. Food is VERY affordable (albeit portions are on the smaller side) and tasty! The chefs do a very good job bringing out the best of flavors in both Western and Oriental cuisines. 11/10 would recommend!

The smoked Ceasar he made and served me was tasty, and the giant piece of cured meat in it was over the top. The grilled cheese was simple and filling and good. The beers and drinks all seemed well priced and the liquor cabinet was well-stocked and made me want to come back and hang out. The decor is nice, but slightly off for me, mostly because I'd rather not have tvs in nice bars, and 3 seems over the top for a small cocktail bar. Why not just be amazing at cocktails and cured meat (ok, sure!) and not try to be all things to all people? The art was better than most local cafes and bars, and the lighting was cozy. In general, a nice feeling room, though I'd love a local place that felt even more comfortable, fewer hard chairs and cold open expanses, more like a country house, with big comfy chairs. Jockey gets really close to this feeling and is a nice option in the area. I'll be back I suspect!

Don't skip on the plantain and sour cream starter!! They give you a WHOLE giant plantain that's been cooked to super sweet and velvety perfection. I love these and they're really hard to find! This is now a super favorite spot just for these. Had the chicken breast plate which came with a large salad and rice + beans. The rice was super good, cooked way better than most places. The chicken had some spices on it but there wasn't anything too special about the plate. They have a lot of authentic drinks too, my favorite is Horchata which was spiced just right. Cinnamon and maybe some nutmeg in there. Perfection! The staff was very very nice too, although a bit slow at the end when waiting for a box. At the register, we striked up a conversation about plantains which was enlightening. I'll definitely be coming back for more papusas and plantains.
