    A cute spot near the city of Cowansville. We went on the day of the eclipse so as you can imagine,…read moreit was PACKED. Our server told us there were so many people that day that their small town grew to over 10,000 more people that day! That all said, you're here to see if the food is good. The food was alright. I feel like on the busiest day they've probably ever had it's not fair to judge the quality when they didn't expect so many people so I'm sure it's probably better when it's not super busy, but it was just okay, as some tapas were definitely better than others. Everything is meant to be shared, so make sure everyone at the table more/less agrees on the menu. Overall, a good experience. I will say though, the lava cake was SUPERB!

    Pizza (Meat Lovers): Average pizza. Nothing wrong with it, but it's pretty expensive for what it…read moreis. Poutine: Way too saucy and the cheese curds were average. On the bright side, the duck was very tender and rich and the fries were very crispy. Risotto: Delicious! This was my favorite dish. The whole dish was infused with so much flavor. The portobello and pancetta were very tender. Escargot: The escargot were pretty tiny... other than that, no problems with this dish. Tasted good, but a little too greasy. The cheese they used didn't really tasted like gruyere. Mixed reviews for the different dishes we ordered. Prices were really expensive for what it was. The risotto was the star of the night, so I guess this ekes out a 4/5 for me because of that.

    This review is for the Brasserie. I especially wanted to try this place to get my foie gras fix and…read moreit was really good! I only wish the foie gras and the bread were served warm. The bone marrow with snails was also good, but the combination was a little weird. I liked the bone marrow. I liked the snails. But served together took away from enjoying each part on its own. The duck was roasted to perfection. The skin was so crispy and the meat just fell off the bone. Same goes for the braised veal cheeks. There was no bone to fall off of, but the meat was so tender and just came apart as soon as I pressed down with my knife. I can't wait to come back to try the Salle à Manger since it's a different menu. Foie gras parfait 8/10 Bone marrow, Burgundy snails 8/10 Braised veal cheeks 9/10 Duck confit 9/10

    I had really high expectations for Restaurant Monarque and was hoping it would completely blow me…read moreaway. While the food was delicious, the overall experience fell just slightly short of what I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Service was the main area that didn't quite meet expectations. After being seated, we waited about 10 minutes before receiving menus and had to ask for them. Throughout the meal, interactions felt a bit rushed - several staff members who stopped by the table were somewhat brief, and on a few occasions, items like bread or water were dropped off while we tried to ask questions, but the busser had already walked away. That said, the restaurant was quite busy during lunch, so it's possible the pace and attentiveness were impacted by that. As for the food, we ordered the albacore tuna appetizer along with the strip loin, butcher's cut, and duck for our mains. Everything was well-prepared, though the duck portion was noticeably small. Desserts were a highlight - especially the pavlova with maracuya, which was excellent. Our server Laura was professional, though not very engaging until the very end of the meal when we were settling the bill. I would still return, as the food is strong, but I have to say that Bar George left a more lasting impression on us in terms of both food and service.

    This review is a bit tough to rate. I would give 4 stars for the food, but 3 or less for service…read moreand the restaurant feels a bit rundown. We were in Montreal for several days and decided to go casual on our anniversary and we were craving Mexican food. We made a reservation as the place is crazy busy. We arrived, had to wait a few minutes before we were seated. The hostess looked up our reservation and seated us without saying anything to us. We took our seats and looked at drinks before looking at the menu. Our server took awhile to come to our table, took our drink order and an appetizer order and left. The drinks finally came out along with the chips and guacamole and we decided to make our decision on dinner. We waited, and waited, and waited about 40 minutes for our server to come back to take our dinner order. She was fairly nice, but rushed. Again, we waited and waited and waited for our dinners. We were enjoyed the food, it was flavorful, seasoned well, and really filled our craving for Mexican food. After we finished our dinner, again we waited, waited, and waited for our server to come back to our table. She never checked on us as to how we were enjoying our food. She brought the check, we paid, stood to leave and she said thank you as my husband handed the check back to her. He quickly mentioned it was our anniversary, she stopped and asked if we would want to sit back down and she would bring us a dessert. It was nice to offer, but she could have learned this if she would have taken a moment to talk to us. We didn't need a long conversation, just to feel welcome, and we felt in the way as they were busy. We thanked her, but we didn't want to spend an hour waiting for a dessert, so we graciously declined and left. It really is a shame. If the service was better, and the food came out quickly, they could turn tables quicker. I don't know if they are short staffed, but it really was disappointing.

    We stopped in for a light lunch and margaritas while exploring Old Montreal and were really glad we…read morechose Escondite. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the bartender took great care of us. The drinks were excellent, and the service made it even better. Perfect little break in the middle of the day.
