    Tacos
    Stephanie L.

    Since it's so close by, we go to La Catrina every now and then. This past time wasn't great, the food was okay/subpar and the service has been better. We visited on a Wednesday night, were promptly seated on the patio. We ordered two drinks, La Catrina platter, and the taco platter. It was busy for a Wednesday night, so we waited a while before our food or drinks came. In fact, we got the Catrina platter and finished it and waited a while before even getting our drinks! Don't know about you, but I prefer having a drink to start! Comments on the food: - La Catrina platter: on the menu it states that you'll get pico de Gallo, corn and cheese thing, and ceviche. -- We got the pico de Gallo and corn and cheese dish, guacamole and black beans. -- To be honest, these black beans were terrible and we were really expecting ceviche. When it was served, we asked where the ceviche was and the server (not our main waiter) just said "we don't have ceviche" and left. I wish we were told this when we ordered because we wouldn't have ordered it. The black beans tasted like they were just poured out of a can and combined with onion. Truly inedible. If you want good black beans go to La Tamalera, they're amazing! -- The pico de Gallo and guacamole was good, but the platter fell flat, felt like really cheap with a bunch of stuff out of cans (corn and beans). - Taco platter: 5 tacos of different flavours This was good, though we weren't a fan of the mushroom/cauliflower taco. The fried chicken and grilled shrimp were very good! Cocktails: - Americano: very fresh ginger flavours - Eastern Thyme: despite the nice ingredients, was really lacking in flavour. Service: Our waiter was polite and nice. But sometimes it felt like our food or drinks were forgotten. It took a long time for him to clear our table, so we sat with dirty dishes for like 30 minutes, he walked by and saw the dishes many times but never took them. In sum, we were not happy with our last visit. The patio is very nice, but the food was meh and the service was very slow. Also really didn't like that they weren't transparent about not having ceviche for the platter, which was a major reason for ordering it.

    Fried chicken taco

    We visited La Catrina on St Laurent last week for supper and were pleasantly surprised by the experience! (In a good way!) We chose to sit indoors, however they also have a lovely terrasse that you can sit at if you want. I was also a huge fan of the music, if you enjoy spanish/latin music, you'll love their playlist! We ordered the guacamole with homemade tortilla chips to start and let me tell you, it was amazing. It's made fresh at your table and the portion is massive! They also have a nice bar, which we ordered the margaritas, and these I would have to say were some of the best margaritas we have ever had. They were flavourful, beautifully presented and they weren't cheap on the alcohol :). For our main, we chose three different tacos to share - the fried fish (came with 2 tacos), the fried chicken (came with two tacos) and the beef brisket (came in an order of three). Our favourites were definitely the fried chicken and the beef! The tacos were piled high with ingredients and unlike some other taco places I have been to, we were so full! So I would say three types to share between two with an app, is more than enough! They currently have happy hour specials wed and thurs nights from 5-7! So if you're looking for a spot to grab a drink and a snack, definitely recommend!

    My hotel was nearby and I kept seeing people gathered outside or walking in this place. Around 4:30…read moreone evening it was quiet, so I walked in to check out the food menu. You walk in and there's a clothing store on one side and black curtains straight ahead. I just stood there confused for a second until someone suddenly appeared and escorted me through the curtains, down a long dark hallway, and into this intimate, dimly lit bar. Turns out, I had accidentally stumbled into a speakeasy. The space is tiny--maybe 6-8 seats at the bar and a long banquet along the wall for 10-12 more people. No menus either. They ask what you like and don't like, then craft a cocktail specifically for you. The pours are generous and the bar is stocked with top-shelf liquor. About a drink and a half in, I realized I needed actual food immediately and had to leave. The staff was friendly, personable, and chatty, and because the space is so intimate, you naturally end up talking with the people around you. Definitely more of a solo or date-night spot than a group hang. Such a cool, unexpected experience.

I'm a fan of cocktail bars, and after reading up on this spot I made it my intention to check it out. It just so happened that it was a short walk from my hotel, so we decided to check it out one night before heading to dinner. The Cloakroom is a speakeasy, nestled behind a hidden door in a men's clothing shop. In the line of being a speakeasy, the space is small - there are only 24 seats but since we got there right at opening we were seated right away. The space is dark and intimate, with the bottles of liquor lit up behind the bar providing an attractive focal point. One of the more unique features of the bar is that there's no menu; we told our server the types of liquors we wanted along with the flavor notes and they crafted a cocktail based on our tastes. We ultimately had two rounds; my first drink was vodka-based and fruity, while I went with something gin-based and dryer. Both were very good - there's little fanfare with presentation; the bartenders let the drinks speak for themselves. Service was great; due to the setup, each patron is given extra attention which really highlighted the experience. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at The Cloakroom Bar. This was definitely a unique experience with excellent curated drinks. I would definitely return the next time I'm in Montreal.

Being the Montreal Gran Prix weekend, the city exploded with crowds making it difficult to find a place with a patio and seating outside. Determined to succeed we found this place with the last table for two on the patio available. We were thrilled, as this place not only delivered in that department it was highly rated on Yelp. The place was bustling with patrons inside and out, but the service was outstanding with quick delivery of much needed beer with our food shortly there after. Bar Dominion is not just a bar with a long list of cocktails and a few beers, they have a nice selection of seafood and small plates. The menu here is not your typical "bar" food selection, but a selection one would find on a bistro menu. I ordered the Petite Bourgogne beer, which is a local red beer that was crisp and fresh. The Lobster Roll was the item that stood out for me and I'm glad I ordered it as it was super fresh and delicious. The buttery roll was perfect with the well seasoned lobster garnished with chives. The portions are also just right. The inside atmosphere was off the rails with an upscale atmosphere and the patio was quite different with atmosphere more suitable for conversation with ease. I really enjoyed this place and glad we accidentally discovered it. The only thing I regret is not trying one of their cocktails, as I learned after that the cocktails were created by a renowned mixologist, Andrew Whibely from Cloakroom Bar fame. This explains the very short offerings of beers.

While I didn't have the chance to try any of the food, the service alone left a great impression! The staff was attentive, friendly, and always seemed to appear at just the right moment when our glasses were running low. Everything felt effortless throughout our time. The space itself is cute. They also have a lovely outdoor patio with cozy lighting and greenery making it a great spot to relax and enjoy good conversation. There was no wait when we arrived, and the entire experience was seamless. If you're looking for a place to enjoy wine, catch up with friends, Wolf & Workman is worth a visit.

    5Hidden gem in Old Port Montreal…read more Wolf & Workman is truly a hidden gem in Old Port Montreal. Tucked away with a beautiful terrasse in the back, it's the kind of place you'd almost miss--but absolutely shouldn't. The service was fantastic from start to finish--attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling overbearing. The food was equally impressive. Everything we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with portions that are just right. The beef and mushroom tartare was a standout--rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced--and the braised lamb cavatelli was simply outstanding. The lemon tiramisu for dessert was the best ive ever had. Overall, a fantastic experience. Can't wait to come back!
