Small, intimate, excellent food and best service we have had in Montreal…read more After going to so many restaurants where the ratings may be high but once there, you feel the food was pre-done and you are in just a diner in a large crowd impersonal setting - This was the totally opposite This was a very small setting, maybe a total of 8-10 tables, where from the moment you arrive, you feel welcome into someone's home with the smell of home cooked food and a personal touch. You will need reservations and remember - they are actually cooking your food, so relax, put the phone away and enjoy the wine you brought (bring your own wine setting) Not really for large groups but we were a group of 10 and made reservations way ahead of time - we had to wait a few minutes when we arrived but it gave us a chance to check out the streets of Verdun - which we loved, reminded us of how Williamsburg in NYC was before it became too popular. For vegans, they had several options that were not on the menu but check with them ahead of time to confirm Some of the dishes we loved included the Angelique, the pears/goat cheese, pasta primavera and the chocolate mousse was worth the marathon we will need to run after eating it The service was exceptional for any setting, but specially this type of intimate table set up. Our attendant even joined in with her beautiful operatic rendition of happy birthday at the end of the night. This place reminded us of the great many small family-owned restaurants that made NYC, but can no longer afford manhattan. We took an Uber here from Montreal and it was about a 15 minute ride. Breathe, relax and enjoy the small setting but first out the phone away.

Don't worry they're still in verdun lol fresh bread and balsamic tastings to start yes sir, and their homemade pasta sauces are incredible. The menu changes with the seasons but the quality is always consistent. Don't skip the appetizers please lol from the pear & blue cheese salad to the shrimp in cheese sauce, everything feels crafted with care. It's called the Angelique I've been coming here for years, and it still feels special every time. Just a tip: check their hours before heading over since they sometimes close earlier than listed.

What a special place this is!!! Located on the Lachine Canal (please correct me if that's…read moreincorrect) this popular local eatery has people lined up for Sunday breakfast. We didn't have to wait long to be seated near the back by an open (but screened-in) area, right by the "window" overlooking the canal. We ordered our coffee and put in order while watching streams of people come and go. There was such a huge selection of fabulous, mouth-watering items on the menu that ranged from crèpes to french toast and sandwiches that it was difficult to choose. I had Le Brise, comprised of french toast, loads of sweet, crispy and fresh fruit in season and custard sauce. Québec Maple syrup was brought to the table, just in case we didn't have enough sweetness. My friend had the scrambled eggs, toast, home fried potatoes & baked beans. The ambience was light and service was quick between servers setting up for a large party behind us and another party in front of us, and the two teenagers beside us who received a lot of attention from the younger server. Next time I'm in town, I will come back, especially since we got to take a walk along the canal over to the beach where some bathers were taking advantage of the glorious weather.

Solid spot for wood-fired pizza, but falls a bit short of the top-tier hype…read more Came in on a Monday night and was immediately impressed by the energy. The service and atmosphere were top-notch throughout the evening...lively, attentive, and great vibes for early in the week. Overall, it was a very good meal, though I wouldn't quite place it alongside Canada's top-tier, "Top 100" dining experiences. the food: Diavolo 2.0 Pizza: Absolute star of the show. Perfect leopard-spotted, wood-fired crust with just the right amount of heat from the pepperoncini and salami. If you're here, this is what you should get. Mafalda al Ragù: A major miss, unfortunately. I found it lacking balance and flavor, to the point where I didn't end up finishing it. Cannoli: A classic, well-executed finish to the meal. Light, crispy shell with smooth goat's milk ricotta and pistachio. Quite good. Elena is a fun, vibrant spot if you're looking for a great night out with impressive wood-fired pizza, but the kitchen consistency across the board didn't quite match its status as a top-ranked national destination. Worth a visit for the pizza and atmosphere alone!

Pooh and I stayed at the Quality Inn and had supper at this restaurant…read more We ordered through its website and were expecting to pick it up but they called us and offered to bring the order to our room - bonus!!! Pooh ordered the lasagna and I ordered baked cannelloni. Both were delicious. I was impressed that I had four good-sized cannelloni tubes in a rich tomato sauce smothered in cheese. Pooh's lasagna was a good size, tasty tomato sauce with a hint of béchamel and also smothered in cheese. We also shared an order of calamari which were good;however, the coating was soggy but that's what happens when something breaded gets covered while it's hot - condensation The Caesar Salads were good and we liked that the dressing was separate We would definitely go back

Sitting on a prime location beside the Parc des Rapides, in Lasalle, Riventino offers top notch, fresh home-made Italian fare and very decent prices. This place has been here for over 40 years so that's got to tell you something, given the fierce competition in Montreal's restaurant scene. You have to be good in order to have any longevity in this city of foodies. Friend and I came here after an evening of walking and hanging out by the Rapids, what I noticed right away was that the balcony planters were all growing fresh herbs. I think it was the owner who served us, really friendly service overall. I spotted a homemade pasta dish with lamb ragout, that's not common and I'll probably give it a go the next time I'm here. Nonetheless, this first time I had their Riventino pizza, a homemade thin-crust pizza with mushrooms, cheese, and pork. When I asked for hot chili flakes, the owner asked if I like things really hot. I do so he offered the really hot chili oil. Pieces of sliced red chillies marinated and sitting in extra-virgin olive oil, infusing the oil with the heat of the chillis. It was the perfect condiment to my pizza. I should add the pizza was a perfect meal size as well. Not so filling that you feel you can't walk afterwards but just enough to satisfy. My friend had the fettucine dish made with artichoke pesto and chicken. She loved it. With bruscetta and bread offered right way, a staff that makes you feel welcome, a great view of the river, I wouldn't hesitate to come here again.
