Dropped by on our way home from a weekend getaway in Montréal. We needed a classic Montréal bagel…read moreto round up the trip and see what all the hype is about. I'm a tried and true, born and raised, New Yo-uh-k-uh. Like many Americans regarding American issues, I didn't even realize there were any other bagels that challenged the superiority of the OG NY bagel. Spoiler: there isn't. I had a bunch of Canadian friends in med school and one of them brought into my awareness the existence of a bagel that attempts to challenge NY bagels aristocracy. So we tried them. I made the critical error of placing nutrition above taste and I ordered a sesame with hummus. Tina bear ordered an everything with smoked salmon, a bagel sandwich that also includes a schmear of cream cheese, capers, and onions. The bagels are obviously smaller in size. The dough is more dense and has a slightly sweet flavor. It was enjoyable, as carb-laden bread usually is however I wasn't satisfied. Hummus was obviously a mistake. Tina says her bagel was "really good" however her testimony applies mostly to the sandwich itself, and less to the actual bagel, as those ingredients are overpowering. I'm glad Canadians have a bagel they truly enjoy but I would rather stick with what I know and love.

They do not hold as a circle anymore. When you try to cut them in half, they crumble. If you were lucky enough for them not crumbling upon cutting, they will upon biting into them.

I heard about KITCHEN 59 from a friend and decided to get catering from them for a large new years…read moreparty that I was hosting for a group of colleagues. Needless to say I was extremely impressed with the quality of the food and the service that I received. We ordered a variety of Lebanese food from Meat Kebbeh, Yogurt with Cucumber, to Hummus. Everything was fresh and my colleagues ended up eating seconds and thirds. If you are catering for a large group, I recommend ordering a variety of foods as they taste even better when paired together. My personal favourite (as funny as it may sound) was the garlic dip. Wow was it amazing - compared to some of the other Middle Eastern restaurants that I always go to this dip blew them out of the water. Everything was extremely reasonably priced and I was able to save my wallet when it was anticipating a rough Christmas and New Years season! The delivery was insanely prompt, I ended up receiving all the dishes right before the party started. Keep in mind this was during a snow storm when even pizza delivery companies were fretting about their on-time guarantee. Overall if you are looking for a good and reasonably priced caterer to offer some delicious Lebanese food for your event, definitely give Kitchen 59 a try.

The ordering process was very easy. Antoine (the owner) walked us through the menu and was extremely flexible with all the options and variations we wanted. We then placed our order and picked it up from the pickup location. Food presentation: the food was extremely well packed and secured within the containers so we were not worried about transportation. The presentation itself was amazing (as you can see from the pictures). My guests found them extremely professional (FYI I requested the aluminum containers for easier handling and disposing) The taste: IT WAS DELICIOUS. Everyone stopped having a conversation because the food was soooo good. The meat and chicken were so juicy, the garlic was extremely well balanced, perfect taste with very little after taste or bad breath. The rice was cooked to perfection and the salad dressing was very good. My guests were fighting to take leftovers! Overall this catering service is: Taste: 10/10 Price:10/10 Location: 8/10 Friendliness and ease of service: 10/10 Would highly recommend. Already placed our order for the next dinner I am having!

So the owner bought the business from a guy that used to be quite sloppy and lacked in cleaniness. Well the current owner revamped that and is clean and listening and trying lot of stuff and is always serving people, always rolling his stock and that's a very good thing to hear about a place where freshness is everything...or Almost. There's also quality and variety. And you he hold 60 kinds of sausages / chorizos / gendarme/ peppeto. Also a pretty interesting selection of Gluten Free sausages. The owner and his wife as pretty much always working there and being successful at it. They have love for what they do. They serve some food in the Marché de l'Ouest food court like burgers and european hotdog with home made fries. Cheap deal for quick eating. I won't go into details about every sausages I've tried there, but I have to say that half would sound about right. I like their Gluten Free sauvages, especially because it's Game Meat and I LOVE GAME MEAT. Also they have some good gluten free breakfast sausages, nothing like you would normally taste. I also like their more casual sausages like Italian, or Chorizo which are natural, no additive and freaking delicious compare to the one you buy in the super market. Smoked saucages! This is delicious! the Swiss Cheese or Debriziner which is spicy smoked german saucages is amazing. Most of the time I go to Marché de l'Ouest, I'll grab at least something to eat there and have a chat with the owner about what's new, what's the good seller of the week, etc. Le Saucissier de l'Ouest n'est pas le logo qu'on voit quand on passe devant l'endroit, c'est plus quelque chose comme WunderWurst Saucissier mais c'est l'ancien propriétaire était paresseux et pas super propre. Il a vendu son commerce à un nouveau proprio vraiment sympathique et surtout beaucoup plus propre! Si il y a un truc qui compte dans ce domaine là c'est la propreté, la fraicheur des produits et biensur la variété et la qualité du produit. Je suis content de voir que Mon Saucissier soit vraiment quelqu'un avec une belle passion pour son commerce, à l'écoute de ses clients, toujours en train de chercher de différents produits a faire essayé à ces clients. Il tient une impressionante variété de 60 sortes de saucisses sans compter Chorizo, Gendarme, pepetto. Il a en moyenne, de façon permanentes 45 sortes. Sans rentrer trop dans les détails de ce que j'ai essayé et manger, je dois dire au moins la moitié du stock qu'il a, je l'ai essayé. Quelques trucs intéressant: des saucisses sans Gluten, beaucoup d'options de gibiers et volaille. J'aime les options de saucisses fumés, la Debreziner est piquante et bonne, la fumée au fromage suisse, superbe. J'aime les classiques comme Italienne, toulouses et saucisse de déjeuner particulièrement bonne. Bonne quantités de saucisses naturelles sans additifs chimique. C'est ça qui fait que t'achètes de la saucisse a un Saucissier VS un super marché ou une «boucherie moyenne». C'est vraiment une bonne place où l'on peut se procurer des Burgers ou des hot dog européens avec des frites maison! Vraiment très bonne! Vraiment un bon marché, pas cher. Allez y faire un tour, ça vaut vraiment le coup.

When I told friends of mine that there go-to Félix & Norton location had closed there was a high…read moredegree of disappointment, that is until I discovered a new location had opened in the West Island this past fall. Heading over, I spoke to Maximo who was the staff member who answered the phone. He helped answer a few questions and upon arriving continued with excellent and respectful service. Needless to say the surprise gift given to my friends (only at dessert time) went over tastily, as the cookies were slightly warmed before serving. Only enough remained for a few in each school lunches. Now that's one way to make the other kids jealous. Can you tell, I'm quite excited about this ultra clean and modern store opening. It's located fairly centrally with respect to the West Island, but worth making a special trip for what we grew up craving as kids... so now the tradition continues. Merci & Thanks to the cookie chefs and founder of Félix & Norton. I look forward to giving much deserved kudos to him in-person after all these long years.
