The condiments were a little lighter and different, and no tortillas were served. The amount of rice and beans was a lot smaller than usual too. One of the surprises was a chicken filled small corn cake which accompanied the dish. We really enjoyed it. Prices were rather low for the food quality to be honest. Good service and good ambiance.

For our last night of our Christmas weekend, in Montreal, Pooh and I came here for supper…read more For appetizers I ordered the guacamole and chips (a must have) and Pooh ordered the shrimp with mango sauce The service is slow; we got our wine immediately but our appetizers took a little longer. The guacamole was delicious and the chips were lightly salted. Pooh's shrimp were tasty and the mango sauce was a nice addition without being too sweet The server was delightful; he taught us some Portuguese and told us to get off our phones and enjoy the food Our main dish was perfection. We asked for medium rare and we got it.

We went on weekday evening and it was somewhat quiet when we went in but filled up. It is a hip spot but not stuffy and they take food and service very seriously--my favorite kind of spot. We have young kids who behave pretty well and we didn't feel out of place. We had a bit of a wait between courses but nothing that soured us on experience. The food was absolutely delicious. Best meal I have had in recent years. Freshness. Flavors. Inventiveness. Really remarkable. Everything was so well presented that my kids tried all kinds of things they might never usually. I say this as a testament to how appetizing everything looked and tasted. Of course I loved it all too--haha. I would be a regular at this place if we lived in Montreal. Go there!

I asked to see a menu then ordered something to share (as in "we'll have dinner elsewhere") and before I knew it, I was full, happy, hadn't left my seat, and the evening was over. Welcome to night one in Montreal. With it's twinkly lights and street-facing al fresco seating, someone has turned Josephine into one of the more attractive offerings along this stretch of Rue Saint-Denis. I'd considered several other spots on the same stretch of road but Josephine got my vote. It felt very Parisian in its elegant simplicity. The kitchen here creates artful dishes. Sashimi Crudo was pretty as a painting and subtle in its flavors. A Grilled Artichoke was so lovely that it caused me to order up a side of Focaccia to mop up anything that might've otherwise been left on my plate. The service here is friendly and approachable which came as a bit of a welcome surprise in a place whose kitchen is clearly big league. As I left it was suggested that we'd certainly be back again but Montreal is a big city; maybe next time.

Also, sometimes the restaurant go by the name of Restaurant Epik, like on the credit card receipt. I ordered the chowder. The menu said it's lobster chowder but the waiter informed me it's clam chowder that day. Portion size is quite reasonable for that price. But there was a small piece of clam shell left in my soup. The dessert however was a bit pricey. I could get a better slice of cake from The Keg at that price. The environmental was alright. It was slightly on the cold side because it's at the front of the hotel. The chair wasn't great because the padding was a bit thin. Staff was nice and was prompt.

This was an utter disaster. Where do we begin…read more We allegedly had dinner at this restaurant. Nothing went right. There were maybe 5 tables. We ordered drinks, appetizers and entrees. The drinks were off, the cosmo was sour and we could not finish the mai tai - yes it was that bad. Perhaps we should have to ease the pain. The appetizer arrived a little late but not terribly so - calamari which was good but it came with about 8 pieces -- a little small but at least it was good. Then we waited... and waited... and waited. Other tables that were sat after us, way after us, all received their food. It took about an hour -- one whole hour between the appetizer and entree. We got our food, fish and chips and mussels -- they were both acceptable so let's get that out of the way. The other two dishes were the braised beef and we asked that the fries be upgraded to a poutine and then a salad with chicken add on. The beef came with fries and not poutine, so they had to fix that. We tried the beef... it was salty, as salty as the dead sea. It was awful and inedible. We thought it was perhaps the sauce, but it was not as we tried to dig into the middle of the cut, but it was still salty. The poutine was salty as well but that might have been acceptable if the beef were not over salted. The adventure of the salad was not any better. Asked for the dressing on the side and the salad was covered in the dressing. It came without the chicken so they took it back. It came nearly 20 minutes later, after everyone else finished their entrees -- 20 minutes to prepare a fried chicken breast. Cannot tell you whether it was good or bad as we told them we would not take it. They did the right thing and did not charge us for this entree, but that was it, no other real apologies. Do not come here if you value your time or your money or your general sanity. Disappointing.

Before checking out a theatre show, the family decided to eat at Mango Bay for dinner. They've been…read morea few times to get their Caribbean fix. It's located upstairs on the second floor, above N sur Mackay and next door to Garage Beirut. We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 6:00pm) with a group of 11. No one was there. The inside looks like it's been converted from an old apartment. There's only one waitress and she was slooooow. She did continuously bring out water jugs for us but go up to pay when you're ready to leave, it'll be faster. The menu is split into appetizers, salads, seafood, main courses, house specialties, burgers & wraps, roti, table d'hote and desserts. Their house specialties (like jerk chicken and curry goat) are pricey ($19.95). - Stew chicken ($12.95) - chicken slowly cooked in a rich homemade gravy. I went with the stewed chicken; tender but salty. Rice and peas were dry and a tad bland. Best thing was the plantains (sweet and tender) and the carrots. - Negril chicken ($14.49) - char grilled chicken breast marinated and cooked in a sweet and spicy Caribbean spice. One relative found it "spicy". - Curry goat roti ($10.49) - my mom went with the goat; tasty and with a good bite. Oddly, they put in pieces that have bones in it. Roti itself was strangely dry. - Grilled salmon ($19.95) - char grilled salmon seasoned with Caribbean spices. Didn't find anything special about MB. Pricey for what you get, especially with so many other quality spots nearby.

I wrote a review for Mango Bay's previous location on Bishop street about 2 years back, it's…read morecertainly nice to see them move and re-open. Some places will never survive like this. Location - On Rue MacKay between Rene Levesque and Ste. Catherine, close to Metro Guy-Concordia. Not a conspicious place - near a mosque and upstairs from a Korean restaurant. The restaurant is on the second floor of a townhouse with stairs only, if you have mobility issues, you might want to look elsewhere (or get delivery). The townhouse is elegantly decorated by the owner with some of his personal momentos. If you look inside the corner trophy case you'll see jewelry for sale by local Jamaican artisans. Service - A bit slow - it looks like only the owner (Aubrey) is manning the helm on a Friday lunch hour - He was doing the cooking, serving the tables, mixing the drinks, settling the bills and etc. When we stopped by at noon there was no one there except a gentleman who seemed to be there to pick something up - he mentioned that the owner is here and at the kitchen. We sat down and waited about 10 minutes. Then another set of customers showed up. Then Aubrey showed up and greeted us. In about 5 minutes the drinks were served, and within 15 we have food on our table. Throughout the meal Aubrey will be dealing with the other customers, the takeout orders, and basically checking in on us once in awhile. We shared a laugh or 2. The food - I had the brown stew chicken (served with plantains, Jamaican sweet potatoes, and rice with peas), and my wife had the Chicken Roti (no sides). The brown stew chicken is good, but the sauce is not as thick and hearty as its Brooklyn counterparts. The Roti was solid with a good solid Jamaican curry gravy and bits of potatoes throughout. The plantains were sweet, thick rounds, browned on each side but not greasy. The sweet potatoes were good, and the rice and peas have a hint of coconut and nutmeg to them. The Drinks - I went with Sorrel (Hisbiscus tea with ginger) - sweet and spicy with the nutmeg-ginger kick. My wife ordered Ting (Jamaican Grapefruit soda). Value - I paid about 15/person for a lunch meal with drinks included -it's about what you would expect for a sit-down place downtown. It's a solid Jamaican place that matches the quality of decent ones in Toronto or Flatbush (Brooklyn). There are other Jamaican shops in town (2 in C-d-N (not near the Metro) and one in ParkEx, and 2 near Centre-Ville, with one just up the block from the Musee du Art Contemporaire), but this one is pretty good. I'll go back again.

We started with the oysters, there were 3 kinds, plain, jalapeno with crackling, and miso gratin. Of these, the miso was the best, punching of umami. The jalapeno one didn't really have a kick while the crackling added a lot of sweetness. Then came the octopus, grilled and served with spicy tomato jam and saffron risotto. On top were crispy caramelised lemon chips. This was a perfect dish. the rice was rich and creamy, the tomato jam sweet, chorizo a bit salty, the octopus tender, and to finish the lemon chip was crispy sweet and tangy, everything on the plate brought some flavour. Everything married well, and lived happily ever after, well, until i ate it lol. Wagyu tataki: served with battered shiitake mushroom, crispy jerusalem artichoke and caramelised apples. The beef just melts in your mouth, it was so tender. again soft, crispy, tender and sweet meeting for a perfect bite. Black linguini with seafood and fried shallots. there was shrimps, squid, clams. The pasta was perfect. the dish didn't look creamy but it was rich. My first bite was of pasta only and you can taste the sauce through and through. What impressed me is you could barely see any sauce in the dish, but you can definitely taste it in everything. another home run. then we had the fish of the day, seared halibut with pea puree and chanterelle mushrooms. Fish was fresh and cooked just right, however of all the dishes this one impressed the least. A little bland. Dessert: milk chocolate feuilleté, and tiramisu. A good finish, sweet, rich, creamy and decadent. We ate so well, can't wait to go back :)
