Club sandwich kinds of diners in Montreal - 1 of 2…read more I found Restaurant Lafayette as a side effect of going to look for Troisieme Tasse coffeehouse about a block away from Metro Papineau. Troisieme Tasse's locale appeared to be empty and had leasing signs on its vitrines. As I walked back to the Metro realizing I needed to get coffee elsewhere, I saw Lafayette unobtrusively occupying a corner and almost directly across from the Metro station. I filed it away in my head to look it up and see what they had to offer. Lafayette checked out just fine on review sites, so I went in to eat lunch another day. As you walk in, it's a little long in the tooth, but that adds some character to Lafayette. It has the big booths and, as a bonus, its sitting on a corner allows it to have many booths next to windows. It looked like there was quite a bit to choose from, so it could have been that I was overwhelmed. That said, I settled on a club sandwich and a soft drink. I sure have eaten a lot of club sandwiches in the province of Quebec, with all of them being plentiful and satisfying. I've eaten them in Montreal, in Quebec City, and even smack in between the two in Trois-Rivieres. In fact, there used to be a place called Le Club Sandwich about a block or so west of Papineau for which the site, complete with the tacky building occupying it, has given way to gentrification. Lafayette has a good feel ... sort of like a worn and comfortable shoe. The service was also "comfortable," for lack of a better word, but not at all worn, or world weary. By this I mean that it was informal and good-natured, almost as if in a small town. The prices were in the ballpark for this genre and for having an in-town Montreal location close to the city center. The club sandwich was very good. I was very happy with that choice - almost always safe and almost always tasty and filling. Restaurant Lafayette has been around a long time and local folks as regulars is a good sign. I would eat here again and, with a location between Centre-Ville and the Jacques-Cartier Bridge and being so close to a Metro station, it would make it even more likely.

Ordered a large chef salad to split, and it was amazing! Their homemade dressing is something I dream about. It was sweet and tangy. I love how they used pickles in their chef salad. Amazing, welcoming service. Staff were so so so friendly. Restaurant is more "hole in the wall" lots of wear and tear on the seats. It had charm and probably lots of stories to tell. Restaurant is right by the water, and has a small patio. Small parking lot. They serve ice cream, soda, poutines, burgers, greek food. Its a cute place. If I lived close by this would be a weekly retreat for me.

You'd think the pasta would be heavy and decadent but it wasn't. It was very flavorful. The sea bass skin had a great crisp. And the cauliflower mash could be mistaken for mashed potatoes. It was soooo good. My friend had the chicken and said it was delicious. The desserts were so good. The Nutella dessert was literally a thick chocolate chip cookie. So gooey and melty. The apple crisp was so good. The crisp part wasn't dry. The sticky pudding was perfection!!! Eat here! It was great!!

The burgers are to die for. The poutines are equally homicidal and everything as a little something hip. Coolaid pickles anyone?

We chose La Belle et La Bœuf because of its convenient location near Saint-Hubert Airport. It's…read morerelatively easy to reach and has ample parking. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. Even the drinks took a while, and we waited about 45 minutes for a straightforward order of burgers and similar items. The food still hadn't arrived by the time I needed to leave for an airport pickup, so I had to leave the rest of my party behind. When I finally tried the burger, it was mediocre and nothing memorable--certainly not worth such a long wait. The location may be convenient, but allow plenty of extra time and manage your expectations.

Burger served still red (was told its how they do it), buns so greasy that just looking at it my hand were full. But since then? It evolve. I've discovered the MS. Pacman burger a while ago. It's a cheeseburger that have a fried Mac N cheese patty on top of the actual meat patty. It also have Doritos in it (although the quantity of Doritos is often lacking or its very small you don't really taste / see it). The food is now good. They are known for their drink served in a mason jar. I found the jar have shrunk with time. It used to be served in the big one and now its the small one. The thing, at least at this location, that is often lacking is the service. It's slow, don't expect to do a come and go. You will run out of water and probably never see anyone to fill it. The music is also very loud, but I mean very, like night club music. It's the ambiance they go for.
