C'est beau. C'est chaud. C'est très Montréal…read more Where do I begin? Absolument fantastique! On our very first night in Montréal, we did what any responsible travelers would do: absolutely no planning whatsoever. We wandered in on a whim and somehow landed straight into what can only be described as a culinary jackpot. First visit to the city, and honestly, it set the bar so high everything else on the trip is still emotionally recovering. As a first-time visitor to Montreal, I can't imagine a better way to kick off a vacation with friends. We arrived during a full-on heat wave, which meant the restaurant was doing its best impression of "authentic Mediterranean sauna experience." But here's the twist: nobody cared. Not even a little. The food and service were working overtime to distract us from the fact that we were gently melting into our chairs. Before long, espresso martinis were appearing with suspicious frequency, and a perfectly respectable Negroni made an appearance as well. Now. We must talk about the true headliner. No notes. No edits. No constructive criticism. I do not say this lightly, but the fresh pita may have been life-changing. If you enjoy pita, feta, flavor, joy, serotonin, or the concept of happiness itself, please order it immediately. Do not consult the group. Do not "wait and see." Just act. NOW. No modifications. No hesitation. No regrets. The entrées were also fantastic. In fact, they were so fantastic that I failed my duties as a vacation food photographer. The plates vanished so quickly that I couldn't even get a proper photo, and now I can't remember what anyone ordered. It had already been spiritually consumed and physically erased from our plates. And then, just when we thought the night had peaked, Montréal said: "hold my espresso martini!" As we were leaving, we witnessed one final moment that sealed the experience. We witnessed a waiter sprinting down the sidewalk in a full-speed Olympic-level pursuit of a diner who had left their sunglasses behind. Did he catch them? No. Did it matter? Also no. The commitment alone deserved a standing ovation and possibly its own medal ceremony. The effort, determination, and Olympic-level commitment to customer service did not go unnoticed. Highly recommend. 10/10 Tres bon!

Terrible service and completely disorganized. We arrived as…read morea group of six and were told we could be seated as soon as a few tables cleared up. The staff explicitly told us to come back in 15 minutes. We politely did exactly that, only to discover they had given our tables away to someone else. They offered a completely empty apology and rudely told us to wait another 15 minutes. It was clear they did not want our business. We walked out and went to Nicole instead, where we were treated much better. Save your time and go somewhere else that respects its customers.

My husband wanted to practice his limited French and our waitress indulged him and our family had a good laugh. The dishes were delicious. We had pork, lamb, chicken, shrimp, and fish and they were all executed well. Everything was tender and not dry. The filet of fish was fried perfectly. We definitely got our money's worth and had a great time. We love that we were able to support a local family own restaurant that has been around for 45 years. We hope to see that they will be around for many more years to come.

I never was a huge fan of Vieux Duluth, and have not been to one of their restaurant in over 20…read moreyears, but my in-laws wanted to go. I know l am not a seafood lover (which is a bad start), and l am limited to chicken. I did not really knew what l wanted to eat either. So that did not help. The good: Our young waiter was nice and very professional. Food came out at a decent waiting time. Waiter kept looking around to look if we needed water or if we finished our dish, but did it very discreetly. Adults can order off the kids menu (which ended up being great for me because l got the chicken burger) for an extra amount of money, but made the dish a reasonable price for what l got. The bad: Main dishes are expensive (ranges around 18 to 28 dollars). Salads are tasteless and have no flavours whatsoever. Do not order outside their specialties (chicken and shrimp). Appeals to a certain age demographic (45+ age (although age-wise that includes me). Tables are too close to each other, making your neighbours feels like they are part of your group. I feel like Vieux Duluth is a fancy restaurant outing to people of a certain age that does not know any better and does not want to risk to try something more unknown and get a great meal. But if you feel what l just mentioned is you, then this place is for you.

Garde Cote was recommended to us by Hotel Nelligan as we we couldn't get into Joe Beef. We were…read morewonderfully surprised by this choice, and turned out to be a quality meal.

What is a vacation without formal night?…read more There's complaints about the speed of things, but if you want fast food, there's a McDonalds around the area. This is about slowing it down, and savoring the company you're with, the food, the drink and the environment, just sit back and enjoy the ride. Service was very welcoming and warm, merci! We had a party of 7 Had 1 app, and 3 mains, which each come with a side and 2 bottles of wine, which I highly recommend. Our only regret is not getting dessert, but with definitely come back to Ikanos next time I am in Montreal C'est Bon!

There weren't many people there and service was fast and friendly. I got a pork pita. The food is very reasonably priced, which is great for the area it's in. The meat was perfectly cooked and toppings were substantial! Also, my friends got a pitcher of sangria which was on promotion. Surprisingly strong! And so tasty! I honestly would've eaten all the fruits in it if the empty pitcher wasn't taken away Would recommend for anyone looking to grab a drink and a bite to eat with patio seating!
