I gave this place many chances and over the time, they moved from 1 to 5 stars. I've tried I think 5 location and they are all the same. The theming is the same, the food is the same, the ambiance is the same. Some might have outdoor terrace like this one, other might not. But you'll taste the same food anywhere. We took jalapeno poppers and fried pickle as a starter. I'm not a fan of fried pickle but my friends loved them. I did like the jalapeno poppers although I preferred the dip that came with the pickle. My friend took the colossus poutine. It's a poutine with pulled pork in it. It was a good portion and was good. My other friend took fried chicken tacos and she really liked it. I took the ms Pac man burger which is a cheeseburger with a beef patty and a fried Mac N cheese patty, topped with melted cheese.

La Mecque Du Hambourgeois is an interesting hamburger/bistro restaurant to visit. Their…read morespeciality is hamburger patties made from beef aged 45 days, kept in freezer and minced on the day just before opening hours. They serve the hamburger : blue, rare, medium rare or well done. We ordered 4 hamburgers, all rare: Classic La Mecque (cheddar, La Mecque sauce and pickle) Umami (cambozola blue cheese, onions marinated in butter and white wine, and truffle mayo Raclette (cheese Raclette in Quebec beer, Mushroom duxell, tarragon mayo. Steak Tomate ( roasted heirloom tomato, Parmesan, mayo and horseradish) The common denominator in all the 4 hamburgers is cheese, each of different flavour variation, but all centred on a specific cheese, which takes most of the control of your taste buds. While we all ordered rare, it was more towards the end of spectrum in terms of cooking. We should have probably ordered blue, to start with. The hamburgers came with pickled cabbage, and formed a cool combination. Fries loaded with Parmesan and garlic are ordered separately. This isn't just a burger; it's a powerful, meaty experience amplified by truly dominant waves of intensely flavored cheese, bold and unapologetic, demanding your attention with every single bite. Atmosphere was casual and not so loud that we can communicate without shouting. Inside was not super bright as all the lights were pretty much dim to create an ambiance. Street parking was plentiful at the time we arrived. Service was fast, professional and pleasant. Washroom was relatively clean, with auto paper dispenser but wished this automation would have extended to water faucet and soap as well. Our group of 4 were unanimous on: Nice first time unique experience but somewhat pricey to be a regular at $40 all in, per person for one burger each and one fries shared by 4. And the cook was too heavy handed on the salt.

This was my second visit to L'Avenue Mont-Royal. This place is already in my "Top 10" Collection;…read moreif I were actually ranking those places, L'Avenue would certainly move up in the standings after visit #2. That was due in part to some new breakfast options since last time, which I'll file under "Ridiculously decadent and delicious." This time, for me, that was their "Indecisive" breakfast option including the Dubai Chocolate French Toast. Since my last visit, I've also switched from coffee to tea, and my order included English Breakfast. I was wondering why it took so long to arrive, my thought was, "It's just hot water and a tea bag." Bzzzt, wrong! I was actually brought a heavy duty porcelain teapot with the English Breakfast leaves steeping, and they did not deliver it until it was ready. Well done!! For me, no trip to Montreal is complete without a visit to at least one L'Avenue restaurant (yes there are more!)

I don't know if my original review of Darling might have been lost, or whether I simply forgot to…read morecreate it, but this restaurant is too good to not write that review. It's a fun place to dine, and I'm not just saying that because we were able to order a pitcher of Aperol spritz (okay, maybe a little). The atmosphere here is just plain fun, and the decor is cool, especially that circular bar in the middle. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The polenta fries were delicious and paired well with the tomato salad. It continued with my Grilled Half Cornouailles Chicken, with chimichurri, and it finished with the Basque Cheesecake. Darling is likely to become a regular favorite on future trips to Montreal.

It was a Tuesday afternoon very warm so we wanted a terasse and that's what we got. Big patio with lots of umbrellas to hid us from this crazy fall weather. We started with the pickles, they were only okay not what I was expecting. I didn't like the Panko and not enough pickle ! My salad fries and burger were good, salad was a mix of sliced onions and cucumbers with a mixed salad in a sweet dressing. Burger was juicy. Only thing I didn't enjoy was the little mayo you get to choose for your fries it tasted like Rene Cesar. Boyfriend got the fried chicken salad, he said it was okay the fried chicken wasn't a good idea apparently lol but when I went to try it, it looked really soggy. Our waitress wasn't very quick but I wasn't in a rush so I didn't care, the place was a nice new spot to check out and I'm glad we did. UPDATE: The food made us sick for 2 days, really wasn't happy expecting that and for that reason I will have to change my review from 3 - 2.

This is the tale of two restaurants. The first one is all the waitstaff trying to do their job, and…read morepresumably the cooks as well. My waitress was very nice and helpful. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The other tale are all the, what, managers? Owners? Hosts? Running around with their heads cut off, each of them with a tablet with their seating plan. Yelling at one another, getting in the waitstaff's way, and generally making it look like the end of the world is going to happen. It was absurd and it made everything pretty unpleasant. I think I was watching the owner get really concerned about a dj, hanging out with him, and then bolting to go to talk to a manager. Finally, I know a lot about Peruvian food, including traveling to Peru. The food at this restaurant is not that good.

Went to this bar for the first time with friends on a rainy day so we had thought maybe our…read morereservation would be pushed back since we weren't sure if the bar had a covered terrasse ( which it did ). We were also late and I had called the number and left them a voicemail to advise them & when I got there and mentioned this , the host looked at me weird , which I didn't get why and went to see if they can find us another table since they had given our table away since they thought we were going to be a no show ( since they didn't check the phone msg). We got to our table, the waiter was nice and super helpful for the dinner . We had ordered the edamame and chicken gyoza for appetizers. The edamame had a quick since it had a blend of spices to make this Japanese spice & the gyozas were succulent. Mains : my friends had orders the tofu salad and tartare , and I had ordered the bibimbap. Mine was as expected , delicious & so was the tartare. The only main complaint my friend had was for the the tofu salad as there was barely any tofu in the salad and more of the kale . Drinks : I ordered a regular mojito ( not the one on the menu but the classic), one friend ordered a non alcoholic mojito & the other didn't order anything to drink. She had wanted an ice tea since she was driving and the bar actually had everything but ice tea , which was a first . The reason why it's a 3 star is not solely based on the drink selection, but mainly how we were greeted and dealt with at the beginning. I would definitely go back eventually to try again when it isn't raining

I was unfortunately very underwhelmed by Grenade. My partner and I recently moved nearby, and were…read moreexcited to try what looked to be a flourishing, great establishment. Let's start with the service: Prefaced by saying that it was not very busy at all (4 to 5 other tables). We were taken to a table and left for quite some time. We sat for maybe 10-15 minutes with no water or menu provided. Once we did finally order and receive our cocktails, they were... off. I ordered their Tokyo Kin which tasted like a watered down lemonade and you cannot convince me there was even a drop of alcohol in that glass. My partner ordered their espresso martini dupe, which was very underwhelming as well. Our food was fine, nothing grand. The presentation was lovely, however, $5 for 3 pieces of shrimp was a joke. Small portions, lack of flavor, and extreme prices made for a very unpleasant dining experience. If not an already frustrating experience, we then went to find our server so we could pay and finally leave. Upon walking to the bar we saw them eating and lounging on their phones. This was a very unpleasant experience and the bill being nearly $90 was laughable for what we received. I would recommend looking into other restaurants in the area unless you are wanting to have a terribly underwhelming experience.

They cook their steaks over that open fire, and the flavor is insane. Perfectly seared, tender, and with just the right amount of wood-smoke flavor. Our waiter was on another level. The guy knew every detail of the menu inside and out, breaking down the ingredients like a pro and recommending wine pairings that were 100% dead-on for what we ordered. He kept our table locked in all night without ever feeling stuffy. Great atmosphere, unbelievable steaks, and world-class service. If you're in Montreal, do not miss this spot.

This seemed like the Michelin star restaurant that was the most "local" and I'm very glad we ended up here. It was way more casual than I was expecting (take that as a compliment). It had an open slightly rustic industrial feel to it without the pretention of a lot of other high end restaurants. Our servers were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I have to say their Old Fashioned was one of the best I ever had... and I ended up having three (the third was my dessert). We opted for the tasting menu without the wine pairing (I don't really like wine). There were a few things on the tasting menu with items I'm not usually fond of, but I figured this is the place that is going to make it work so just do it. And they certainly made it work. The food was so tasty I forgot to take pictures of most of the courses. It was all delicious, even the rhubarb dessert (I really don't like rhubarb and while I wouldn't order this dessert by choice, I was happy to eat it). Our experience overall was great. While we waited a long time to get our drink orders and the first round from the tasting menu, everything else came out at normal intervals. However, by the time we were done and contemplating a dessert beverage, we were informed that there was a time limit on the table and they'd have to check if they could get us drinks or if we'd need to give up the table. While I'm totally understanding of limiting the time because some people just loiter, I did not feel like we took a lot of extra time, so perhaps there's some timing that's a bit off. Still, we were able to get our after dinner drinks and ultimately had no issue.
