Pooh, Marie and I had our New Year's Eve supper here last night…read more We started off with drinks. Pooh and I had their signature Margarita and Marie had their Long Island Iced Tea. Pooh and I loved our drinks but for the price there should have been more alcohol and less ice. Marie wasn't crazy about her drink. She thought it was more like a cherry juice drink We shared the Calamari platter which was piping hot and had a delicious dipping sauce which Marie kept for her fries. For our main meal I ordered their Fried Chicken Salad. Pooh ordered Apollo à la Brasa, and Marie had Lobster Roll with fries and salad. I liked my salad but since it was "fried chicken " I thought the chicken would be hot. It was just warm so the skin wasn't crispy; more loose like sagging skin. Pooh loved his dish but it was a tad salty and greasy. Marie loved everything. Each of us had a Brazilian coffee which was delicious. After we shared an order of their Beignets. These beignets were huge and came with two dipping sauces: caramel and whipped Nutella. They were heavenly Service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was lively - great music too We would definitely return. I will try a different dish.

It's quite busy with the brunch crowd, but not like dinner hours. We had delicious drinks, clearly huge servings of great food, and a nice time just hanging out. We didn't feel rushed and got to just enjoy one another's company. It is tight seating admittedly, and not super comfy, but I'll take it for the yummy food. Will be back for breakfast.

So..... "We're gonna grab steamies. How many do you want"? yells out a couple of Canadian poker buds. "IDK several or a dozen" I yell back from the restroom of the hotel room thinking I heard 'wennies' as in small sausages. 30 minutes later, uncontrolled laughter as they hand me a huge bag. "Here's your dozen". * * * * * * A Montreal institution that for 94 years has focused on one thing, steamies. Take a Shopsy's slender seven incher, warm it and stick it in a smaller than the States side ball park bun, slather it with whatever, maybe top it with a heaping pile of vinegary coleslaw and there you have it. The hotdog, not natural (nitrates and phosphates). No one said this was health food. Here's the thing, meaning no disrespect to those who grew up with these doggies but they are just hotdogs. Love the addition of the slaw but still just hotdogs. Inexpensive. $2.50 - $3.50 each. Great counter service. Nuff said.

The restaurant is very small and more of a take out counter, with no seating, there is also a drive through. Note they take cash only, there are ATMs on site. We ordered 2 types of hot dogs and a poutine - the hot dogs were good, michigan sauce could have been more flavorful, it was lacking some sweetness. Poutine was a disappointment - the fries were not salted and sauce also lacked some flavor. It was thin and runny, closer to a BBQ type of sauce like St-Hubert style rather than the thick brown gravy. I found everything could have used more flavor. There is only 1 size poutine and it was on the small size. Considering this is some type of historical institution that's been around since 1929, I expected to be charmed but the food was very average and on the expensive side.

Killing some time in the city and was hungry do someone in our party found this place close by…read more I like this place a lot. From the unique table designs to the imagery on the walls, reminded me of Friendly's back home. I ordered a french onion soup which was probably not the best move as we were trying to have a quick lunch, oops. I shared it and we used the excess broth for dunking our sandwich's in. Very tasty soup. Came out hot but cooled quick. Club sandwich was enjoyable. Would have been better probably on the bagel as the sandwich bread didn't quite hold well together with all the fixings in it. Overall a place I would recommend. Bathroom is not accessible as kt is down a large flight of stairs so be cautious with that.

Also the tables along the center of the restaurant are adjacent to another table, you can turn your head and see you neighbor maybe 6 in away from your face. Our server was good. We ordered and got our food quickly. We ordered a French onion soup, poutine and a montreal smoked meat club. The soup was pretty good, had a nice cheese top. The poutine was a nice portion to share. And the club had a good amount of meat in it. Apparently they say they're known for their cheesecake, we tried a slice. The cheesecake was rich and decadent and it was topped with the a strawberry sauce. This cheesecake didn't have a crust. Definitely good to share. Price point is good for this establishment. Seems like a family friendly sports bar.

The "IT" spot for dinner tonight…read more Located inside the Galeries d'Anjou shopping compound, you can't tell that this is a mall-side location once inside. The restaurant's ambiance is very urban chic with its Ultra high ceilings and an entrance anchored by an all glass center wall containing an impressive mid-range wine bottle collection. These are starters for what became a pleasant sensory and culinary experience at Zibo! On this early evening. The service was excellent as wait staff were not intrusive and made excellent drink and appetizer suggestions. You might want to come hungry as the tapas-style appetizers are addictive....(on a cheat day they are even better!!!) Zibo!'s signature "Honey and baked Brie" served with crusty bread slices is pure porn on a plate! Equally memorable is the thinly sliced raw beef carpaccio plate; which is drizzled in a balsamic reduction and accompanied by leafy green section finishes. They also make a showpiece out of a tiny, simple yet very impressive pork and chicken dumplings starter that has a teriyaki base; served sushi-style in a vertical ceramic plate. As you know, Food Porn is all about presentation first and they got their formula for this one down pat! For the mains, The salmon and ahi mahi platters looked fantastic and, something ordinary yet homely - like the spaghetti bolognese with veal and sausage was perfect from presentation, taste to portion: the pasta was al dente; just right, not too much and not too little, oh yesss! This restaurant offers Simple, accessible upper-tier dining; there is nothing frou-frou or fancy here - just great food in a very trendy space that has an atmosphere and meal occasion to remember. Zibo! really was the "it" spot for dinner tonight. #FoodPorn #WillBeBack
