Tasteless gnocchi with the beloved micro greens
Sam P.

The trying-to-be-hipster atmosphere was a flop for me. The menu selection and execution of the dishes left a lot to be desired. We came on a Friday night after making a reservation for 20:30. The restaurant is pretty small, with some tables and a few spots at the bar. They have an extensive cocktail list but we didn't drink so I can't comment on that other than to say that the options looked good, albeit pricey. The restaurant was very loud and I had to basically scream so my friend across the table could hear me. Nothing on the menu particularly excited me but we ordered the best sounding dishes. We had: Ribbin salad $8: 1.5/5 nothing wrong with it but really not to my taste. The long pieces of vegetables was hard to eat Tuna tataki tacos $18: 3.5/5 not terrible but small portion for the price Fried Chicken sliders $12: 3/5 I enjoyed the taste but there was just too much sauce . The first few bites were good but afterwards it was overwhelming Pasta of the day=gnocchi with pesto $18: 0/5 complete lack of flavour. They topped a warm pasta with micro greens (I assume to complement their hip vibe???). Warm wilted leaves on top of this mediocre pasta made it even more disappointing. Expensive for no reason The service was fine and that's really the only reason I didn't give just 1 star. Everything else pretty much sucked. I would not come back here.

The place was discovered after we took a walk nearby the canal LaChine. We ordered 7dishes and 2 desserts. The tuna and fried chicken burgers are delicious. Apart of that, we find the service was pretty slow. We waiting till midnight for waitress to come to hand to us our bills. This restaurant is too pricey of its food quality. I probably won't come back again.

My friend and I tried this place over the holidays, and while our experience was ok, this place is not worth the price. We booked 2 seats at the bar and I was seated right when I walked in. Unfortunately the place is really small and the way tables are set, you cannot get to the bathroom if the waiter is at any of the tables in the back. My sour cherry drink was good, but again very expensive ($14) for one shot, syrup, ice and a candy. We shared a bottle of wine recommended by the bartender and while I don't remember which one it was, it was very good. Food was hit or miss for me. Beef tataki was chunky, full of fat and chewy. Torched salmon was my favourite, sweet, melt in your mouth, tasteful. Arancinis were ok but missing flavor. Foie gras was a tiny portion. Could only taste the fried onions and garlic bread basically. Churros were dried. Probably the worst I've had in my life, served with the tiniest Nutella minijar. Cheesecake crème brûlé was good, but it tasted premade. Overall we have much better options in the city for this type of cuisine.

$1 oysters during happy hour. From P.EI.

Great atmosphere with lovely workers. They have happy hour $1 oysters from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 pm with a purchase of a cocktail, wine or beer. I also ordered fried chicken sliders, tuna tataki tacos, tuffle oil French fries. The food was spot on and will definitely come back again! It is in a quite neighbourhood, away from noisy areas. Great restaurant. #mtl #mtlfoodie #montrealfoodie #mtlfood

I came across a couple of articles during the last few weeks mentioning Mauvais Garçons therefore when my friends proposed to go and try it I was immediately down. The restaurant is located on William St in Griffintown and has this industrial and baroque touch that is really nice. The concept of the restaurant is sharing which is not my favorite, however we ordered 8-10 items from the menu and most of them were really good. I would specially recommend the Mac N Cheese, Lobster Cakes, NY Sirloin and the fried Ferrero Rocher for deserts. The service was really good, one of the owners regularly came to check on us and decided to offer us an item that we chose but did not really enjoy. It was a very good and interesting experience, I will definitely be back as they're planning on adding a Brunch Service.

Gin tonic and  MG bloody caesar
Gabrielle L.

This restaurant for me started off so strong! Even though it was dead I figured its OK because it's a Tuesday night and the restaurant was very cute. Plus we got good service and it probably helped that it was just my bf and I and a table of 13 people. I ordered mostly what the waitress recommended except the cauliflower taco because I felt that would not satisfy me. Apparently both tacos especially the cauliflower taco is very good. Maybe when I go back I will try it. So I ordered the MG bloody caesar which consisted of Jameson and pickle juice. It was so good! Perfect mix of spicy and tangy. The waitress informed us that they have $1 oysters so we got 6 of them from Vancouver and 6 from PEI. Then we ordered the fried chicken sliders and a side of fries. I wasn't excited about the chicken and really only got it because of the waitress but damn that was my favorite thing of the night! Imagine if a McDonald's burger and KFC had a baby. The chicken because of the buttermilk was so juicy and it was hot and steaming and crunchy. There were also arugula and pickles in the sliders too but no ones cares about that. Lol It was pretty filling. Honestly I would have been happy with just the sliders and fries. The fries were made with Parmesan, parsley and truffles. My bf said it was the best fries he ever had. I would go so far as to say that but they were good. We also ordered the steak sirloin cut in tiny slices with chimichurri and crispy leeks on top. It was good but it didn't blow my mind. Some pieces were more chewy than others. I liked the fatty pieces the best. We had the mac and cheese with lobster and pork belly. I had high hopes for this one. The waitress recommended it and I like mac and cheese and lobster and pork belly so this dish had to be a winner!! What's not to like?! Sadly it didn't meet my expectations. I wish the lobster and pork belly pieces had been bigger. They really chopped it up so finely! Had there been more lobster and pork belly it might have made a difference. But that was the least of my problems. My problem was the pasta itself. Some people like it al dente ... but me I'm used to having my mac and cheese more cooked. My bf and I felt it was undercooked for our taste. I'm sure some people like it this way though. Also the mac and cheese pasta was long!! It wasn't the typical macaroni pasta. Lastly for dessert we had the deep fried ferrero rocher. There was three chocolates deep fried with vanilla ice cream on the side. To me it tasted like a regular ferrero rocher. You barely taste the batter. It's was good though. Not too sweet. The ice cream had a different texture. I wonder if it was homemade because it was icy and kinda chunky. Haha that's sounds gross but I assure you it wasnt. I hope this place gets more customers because it has a lot of potential! I would come back to try the other things on the menu like the foie gras. Oh and I would definitely go back for the fried chicken!!

The sliders!

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.

Bar George is a stunning contemporary British restaurant located in Montreal's historic Le Mount…read moreStephen. While the restaurant is highly celebrated and located within a Michelin-recognized hotel building, it does not hold a Michelin star of its own. But it is extremely classy. We decided to do lunch instead of dinner and it was a little more our speed, but if very, very attentive waitstaff is not your thing and $200 for lunch I'd skip this spot. We went because it had reviews for amazing beef Wellington and my husband hadn't had any in decades. And we were on vacation so let's go! The food was beautifully plated and service was impeccable inside of an amazingly decorated dining room that looked like a library in a mansion. The meals themselves weren't obscenely expensive but add a glass a wine, bread (it was not included) and coffee and it put us close to $200. But it was a great experience and I had never had beef Wellington - it was melt in your mouth good. Might go again next time we come up from CT.

This is inside a hotel and the lobby/bathrooms are very nice. Would recommend getting a reservation since there are limited tables and it was busy/full even on a Thursday evening. Came here on our first night in Montreal with 2 other girl friends. To start we all got cocktails and I had gotten the Right Word which has gin Tanqueray, liqueur St-Germain, Lillet, lime. It was a nice cocktail but nothing that special. I was a little disappointed that a fancy place like this did not have any unique cocktails. Most things on there were just basic cocktails you can find just with a different name. For our meal, my friend and I decided to get the beef Wellington and halibut and share as we both wanted the beef but also something lighter vs eating that much beef. Both dishes were very delicious but I didn't think they were amazing for the price you pay. Portions are on the smaller side too. To start, we had also ordered the focaccia bread. It comes out with a mound of butter with the Bar George logo on top and some sea salt crystals on a cute black slate board. The focaccia was fluffy and great, especially with the salted butter. It was nice that they cut up the beef Wellington into 2 parts already as we were sharing. Our other friend got the Lobster Risotto and I have to say hers was the best one of the 3. It has a curry flavor to the sauce and was just so flavorful and unique. The risotto soaks up all the flavor so that you have a delicious bit every time. The beef Wellington was recommended at Medium and it was perfect, Juicy and tender but it could have used a sauce on the side or a better side to bring in some more flavors. The halibut was a bit plain as well and needed a sauce. However, both dishes were still delicious. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. He helped answer any questions we had and gave his recommendations. Overall, a very pleasant experience, but just lacking a bit for me due the upscale vibes and pricing. Would still make a lovely meal if you are visiting Toronto.

In the middle of service, a piano player begun playing and so the vibe was pretty moody/lively. Our table wasn't quite ready for us but it was worth the wait! As a table, we shared a large beet salad that literally felt like it could cure cancer and mixed pierogis. They were a mix of meat, potato, cheese and mushroom (my favorite!!!). The dough was SO soft yet somehow they held their own. For my main, I ordered the Migos, which was a fairly healthy option consisting of savory cooked cabbage, sausage, meat and mushrooms. My dad had the Debutant and so got a variety that I was able to try including the crispy potato pancakes and a large croquette of sorts. My stepfamily put away a few glasses of Szarlotka, which I'd never heard of before but had a wonderfully sugared rim. I imagine if I knew what these were in college I would have been in trouble. I stuck with a mimosa like drink with Polish compote juice (so good!) and then after brunch we took Belvedere shots (a little disappointing they didn't offer options of other Eastern European vodkas). Oh, and the best part? The Nalesnik which were rich but not overly sweet crepes. Sooooooo good.

It's 360 miles from my home in Northern NJ to Montreal but I make the pilgrimage gladly each year…read more Love has no bounds. If you have not experienced Montreal, I recommend it. One of my favorite restaurants is "Stash Cafe" named after the original owner Stanislav Proszyaski. You might have guessed it's a Polish restaurant. The Stash Cafe serves hearty and authentic Polish comfort food like cabbage rolls (Golaki), potato pancakes (Placki), and Kielbasa. The Stash Cafe is a stone building with an intimate rustic interior. Red shaded lambs and sturdy wooden tables complete the decor. I was dining with a friend on this last visit. She ordered Golaki ($23), two cabbage rolls filled with pork & rice, potatoes and a choice of salads. I ordered a Kielbasa ($26) plate which consisted of 2 Polish sausages from a local provider, salad, a biscuit and a grainy dijon mustard. We shared 4 potato pancakes Placki ($12)) served with sour cream or apple sauce. We both enjoyed our meal and I took the bill. Old school, I guess. Dessert offerings included poppy seed cake or strudel.

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.
