The Long Version: I love mochi. Like it's one of my favourite desserts. So when I saw that Fondue Haidilao had an UberEats deal for BOGO (buy one get one free) mochi, I had to check it out. Especially since our hotel was just around the corner. My husband does not enjoy hotpot and I'm uncertain how I feel about takeout hotpot anyway, so I just got the mochi, lol. It was $3.95 for 2 orders (since it was BOGO). Each order contains 3 pieces, so I got 6 pieces. They are small but still very reasonable for the price, especially BOGO. I ordered on the app and picked up. Pick-up was quick and smooth. Staff were courteous. The mochi were soft and chewy. They had finely grated coconut on the outside and custard on the inside. The custard was unfortunately not creamy but rather it had a more starchy consistency, a bit different from what I was expecting, but it was still ok. Note that since Haidilao is a Chinese chain, the mochi is Chinese-style not Japanese-style. I would love to try the hotpot at Haidilao one day. Maybe when my mom and I return for another mother-daughter trip to Montreal since the hubster does not like hotpot. Street parking only. Review #69 (2025)

Our server lily was the best! Very attentive and quick and helpful. My first time going to this…read moreplace and I was so impressed. Their menu is so diverse, the portions big, everything is flavourful and filling, they pay attention to all the details. From the moment you step in to the end of your meal, it's an experience. They give you an apron so you don't stain your clothes, they provide plenty of napkins and utensils, they pass by multiple times to clear your table and dirty dishes, they give you a hair tie so your hair doesn't get in your food. It's a fun time! There's music, or a noodle pull guy, or sometimes a dancer! They've really got it all. Make sure to réservé because this place is in high demand and it is impossible to get a table last minute if you are a big group. I got the sukiyaki soup base which is soy and onions. It was really good! Bot spicy at all and paired well with the lamb, beef, and pork we ordered. Also got some corn and it was so juicy and sweet! You can still order noodles and not pay the extra for the employee to pull them in front of you, they are still fresh and taste delicious. I don't find it too expensive considering I ate almost as if it was an all you can eat and the price was the same but you're getting better service and quality of food.

Okay so this was defo one of my food adventure fails, I really do enjoy fondu and when me and my…read moregirl had lived together we'd eat it often and I loved it. So I figured if I went out to place that specializes in cooking it it would be great but that wasn't the case. I went here on a Thursday which happened to be ladies night which meant that for 24$ there's was a fixed menu with a salad or soup starter a fondue and coffee or tea. The price was very reasonable and I liked that the fondu that came with it was a mix of chicken beef and shrimp. Where the problems first started for me were at the amount of time it took to order revive water and wait time between courses it took close to 3 hours from the time we walked in to the time we paid for the bill. I found myself starving between my salad and the actual fondu, and when I had to ask the waiter for more dipping sauce it didn't actually get to me until the meal was over. The actual proteins themselves for okay at best the broth itself lacked in flavour and I've had better stuff at home in my living room. The highlights of the meal were the starters and the side of potatoes that came with the meal For the price of the food and the wait time you have a lot of other better options :/

La Fonderie is compact resto, so space can be precious but it's pretty decor makes up for it... so ultimately they've managed to to create an intimate environment that are great for dates as well as group outings. At the end of the meal, I'd definitely lean more on the group thing. Their menu was a bit difficult to fully comprehend so we asked the waiter for our options, he expertly and very nicely given us some great options. He probably gets this A LOT. I ultimately went with their "Maitre-Boucher" "Feast meal" which consisted of a : 1. Entrée of Swiss Cheese Fondue 2. House or Caesar Salad with their Famous Toasted Garlic Bread (I went with Caesar!) 3. Chinese or Bourguignonne Fondue of your Choice (I went with Chinese! With Filet Mignon of Beef, Chicken Breast, Filet of Porc and Marinated Lamb!) 4. Choice of Dessert or Dessert-Coffee (I went with their Fruits!) 5. Regular Coffee or Tea or Herb Tea (I went with Regular Coffee!) The Swiss cheese fondue was very good, the bread that came it was addicting to say the least. I'm glad to report that no cheese remained and we had to push away those evil bread bites as far from us as possible. The Caesar salad was only OK, the salad was alright but the dressing was flavorless and watery. The Garlic Bread was ONCE AGAIN there to entice me. WHY MUST YOU TASTE SO GOOD BREAD? WHY?! SHOO! The meat was served in 2 beautiful platters with a nice variety of sauces that you can dip them in. I really liked this experience but as we ate it seemed to drag on. This might be more enjoyable with a group of people who can chat profusely while the meat cooks slowly in the bouillon/fondue. The meats were fresh, looked great and tasted amazing. The variety of sauces were good and refills were easy to get. My fondue dessert consisted of a few fruits like bananas, pineapples, strawberries and the such in a small pot of delicious chocolate. I believe I found a new love of bananas in hot chocolate. OH MAMA! The regular coffee was upgrade to a cappuccino and it was good. Our waiter was friendly and very attentive to us, I believe when we told him we were on a date night while our daughter was back home being babysat he went out of his way to be very accommodating. Nothing but praise here folks! The price-tag is pretty expensive, so this may not be something I'd do very often unless it's for a special event. I'd recommend to try this place at least once. A few bad notes. We waited 15 minutes when we came in, we had reservations but no one was manning the hostess desk. So our table sat unattended all this time. Oh and another note, the parking was difficult to find say the least. I had to make a spot with my SUV at the far end of the parking lot.

We came here after a weekend of canoe camping, so we were starving for some good homemade meals. At first I was put off by the prices. I thought it was a bit expensive for a plate of meat and a few sauces. I was also sadden by the fact that they didn't have any of their mushroom plates left. We started off with the escargot and onion soup. They were probably the best I've had so far! The main course arrived, and I thought, "this is just a plate of chunks of meat". But once I cooked it and dipped it in the sauce, it was amazing! We both had the oil fondue (forgot the name of this), one with paprika pork and one with breaded beef. The breaded beef was my favourite, and the sauces complimented the meats very well. Overall an amazing place, but because it's pricey we probably won't go every time we're in the area. It's definitely a treat once in a while though.

Honestly, one of the best food experiences I've had while up in Montreal. While it seems pretty…read morechill and laidback at a glance, this spot was busy and bustling (and sorta cute as a pseudo casual spot for a more memorable date night). The fois gras nigiri was pricey, but was definitely worth the try - especially with how the fois gras melting upon contact with the tongue and how the fats and flavors meld together through the rice, it was simply divine. Though my favorite would probably be the Duck in a Can, which was surprisingly tender and juicy. The flavor was pleasant and savory, and I didn't really feel much of a gamey taste at all when I tried it. As someone who normally doesn't enjoy duck, I thought this dish was really quite lovely. Anyway, would probably come back to this spot in the future if I was ever back in the area.

This is hearty Québécois cuisine, perhaps so hearty it's exactly what the pioneers needed to…read moresurvive the early harsh Montréal winters! Indeed the signature move of the chef, Martin Picard, is to elevate traditional, rustic Québécois "peasant food" into world-class fine dining. With the philosophy of unapologetic excess in every dish comes a line up of starters and mains packed with foie gras, butters, and oils in every corner. While the flavors in each dish by themselves are delicious, the onslaught of richness may not be for everybody, and it seemed deliberately without a palate cleanser or lighter counterbalance. In fact, knowing what we were getting into, we ordered an accompanying green salad, and the wait staff forgot to bring it out! We were outright denied anything but sheer gluttony. Our meal consisted of the foie gras poutine, duck in a can, and green tagliatelle. The mantra of excess here meant foie gras melding with cheese curds and gravy on the poutine. Their unique "duck in a can" involved packing quite literally a can with fatty duck breast, foie gras, buttered cabbage, herbs, and gravy, and blasting it all together with heat for 27 minutes. The result is a delicious stew of decadence, for which I wish I had more bread to dip and devour. Even the tagliatelle was bathing in a rich, oily pesto that provided no reprieve from the onslaught. We didn't try the namesake dish of the restaurant, the stuffed pig's foot (le pied de cochon), but seeing it served was an experience and nicely highlighted the elevated "peasant food" aspect of the entire affair. Very unique! Overall I had an excellent experience trying the local cuisine and this more decadent approach to dining. While it's fun sometimes to break culinary rules, I did overall find myself missing a more balanced meal that could feel more sustainable and less coronary artery disease-inducing. I think as long as you know what you're getting into, it's worth a visit, but probably not several!

We have stayed at the Inn and eaten here at least eight times over the years and are going back again in a few weeks. We always order the fondue which is made fresh by real Swiss Germans who know what they're doing. Stay here if you are driving to Montreal from New England. The rate is $95 plus you get a 10% discount with AAA. Have a great dinner, drink a bottle of wine, stumble up to your room, wake up to a wonderful European style breakfast, hike the paths through their acreage, and then take off for Montreal which is about an hour's drive. I have to mention that the rooms are no frills but have TVs unlike many B&Bs. You are right on Rt 133 so you must be prepared to hear the trucks go by on the highway. They are all on the second floor which means you might have accessibility issues. My rating of 5 stars is for the complete package (dinner, room, breakfast). You might forget your stay at the Frontenac or the Ritz, but you'll never forget the romantic little nook you found in Pike River.

The beds are super comfortable on wooden frames, and there were no signs of bedbugs whatsover, even under the mattresses.

There is both a main floor and upper floor dinning area with multiple rooms some much older with a nostalgic look while others are modern. Outdoor seating is also available. I would not come to Montreal and not have crepes. I like both savory & sweet offerings. Creperie Chez Suzette had a 4.5 rating on Yelp so this was my choice on a Thursday afternoon. They have a large menu offering sandwiches, soups (French onion) fondu and salads. I went with the sweet crepe ($18.05) and latte ($6.99). The crepe cut easily with a fork, it was served hot and delicious. I would order it again. The latte was good but could have been cheaper.
