I miss the chalk board with the ten or 12 items the chef bought at the market that morning --that was the only clue on our what you would be eating. The new spot has a butcher shop and a meat oriented menu for the wine bar, but there are some other options (duck, scallops). I sat at the bar and just had a glass of a delicious red Austrian wine by the glass and the steak tartare. The chef is still inventive. The tartare had some feta mixed in with the herb laden and vinegar/mustard laced hand chopped beef. There was a deliciously dressed piece of radicchio on top and that was topped with a thin crispy fried wafer. Great little snack at the end of the day. Merci!

There are two tables outside that are covered in case of rain which is where we ended up sitting. We ordered the tasting menu ($60 per person) and a bottle of wine. I was very happy to know everything was local and many of the dishes were made in house. For the quality and quantity of food, it was a fair price. We started with super fresh oysters, a great tomato salad and some warm home made bread. Then came the sausages, the kebabs and the pork chops. Last but not least, your choice of homemade sorbet and ice cream! I would have to say my favourites were the beet salad that came with the pork chops, the sausages and the kebabs, the quality was really great! The nectarine sorbet was also amazing and new. I appreciated the fact that you get to take the whole pint of ice cream you pick, especially in the times of covid... Service was also very great and since there was no reservation after us we were able to stay as long as we liked to digest everything! Great place for a date night or a night out with friends.

I discovered this little gem while I was walking in Outremont over the weekend. The place is…read moreextremely well designed/decorated. The staff is also very friendly. They offer a variety of specialty Greek products, Greek food and baked goods. I was in the mood for something sweet and decided to try their pistachio Baklava, almond Baklava and Melomakarona. The pistachio baklava was EXCELLENT! Rich, tasty, crispy yet not giving leaving you with that heavy feeling. The almond baklava and the Melamakarona were good but IMO the pistachio Baklava was the absolute highlight. Their food is for next time as it looked pretty good. Check them out when you are in the area & get a little taste of Greece in the heart of Outremont. Opa!

We ate at the bar and chatted up the staff -- the counter clerk is the owners sister, the Hot Cars on the wall are the owners. (Why did my kids throw away their Hot Cars?) Without the check I can't remember which sandwiches we had except to say that they've taken the traditional banh mi, added a far amount of cool fusion to them, and produced a very tasty sandwich. More fillings than the traditional banh mi. And better baguette. (The traditional bread is softer. I can't swear t it but a Vietnamese banh mi shop owner explained to me that because of the climate in Vietnam the baguette is softer than what we're used to in Canada and the US.) And the price was right. And the service was lovely. And we were hungry and these banh mu hit the spot. If you're in Mile-End, give Banh Mi Banh Yiu a try.

Unfortunately it didn't deliver. Every dish (I mean every dish) came in a bed of brown (bean?) sauce and had a pile of coriander on top. Fish, bean sauce and coriander.

There was really just one flavor profile across the entire meal, bean sauce and coriander. The service was slow (we had to cancel a second drink order because we were done eating before they arrived), and the music is waaaay too loud.

The menu was presented and our server offered to build us a tasting menu with some of the house favorites. Everything was delicious and full of flavors that we hadn't experienced in our few days in Montreal. We asked for wine recommendations since the owner has a separate license for imports, and we were able to try a few which we would not have tried otherwise.

Thank god I found it because one large chicken + chorizo poutine can feed my hungry wife and I and we even have leftovers!

Did I mention they give you a lot of food for the price!? They also have a beautiful bakery with Bolas, strawberry cheesecake, and other fresh-made bakery items. They also have great service, with friendly cashiers, and the quality of food is 6 out of 5 stars. It's my favorite place and I come here almost once a week. They are passionate about their food and generous, and if you don't feel like paying up-the-arse for delicious Portuguese chicken Romados is the place for you. It's homey, they have spicy and mild Piri Piri sauce to choose from, the fries are tasty but not too salty, Chicken Salad is really delicious, and furthermore, they have family options, rice, potatoes, and you can order a half or quarter chicken, as well as other options like soup and barbecue pork (also very good).
