Montréal, QC: Au Pied de Cochon - "Comfort food gone fancy -- Patience will be rewarded"

2009-10-24T18:20:01-07:00

Review of Au Pied de Cochon at 536 Avenue Duluth E, Montréal, QC H2L

I had heard many things about APdC over the years: much of it good, a few discouraged diners. Finally I’ve had the opportunity to go and try it for myself.One thing that surprised me is despite the upscale cuisine (and eyebrow-raising prices to match) this is not a white tablecl...

Montréal, QC: Tombouctou Restaurant - "the booby prize"

2009-10-03T12:23:02-07:00

Review of Tombouctou Restaurant at 6000 Chemin De La Cote-des-neiges, Montréal, QC

by rwarren69:

I discovered this place through a newspaper contest. I won dinner for two, and was looking forward to something new and unusual. As instructed I phoned the restaurant to let them know I was coming, and I made a reservation for the date.The restaurant is listed with a Cote des Neiges ...

Montréal, QC: Miso - "my first sushi experience"

2009-09-04T10:19:39-07:00

Review of Miso at 4000 Rue Ste-catherine O, Montréal, QC H3Z

by rwarren69:

My first sushi meal ever took place at Miso in April 2007. I didn’t know quite what to expect, I ordered 9 pieces a la carte. And I entertained my dining companions with my woeful chopstick manners. (I’ve since learned that fingers make better sushi implements.) I waited an awf...

Montréal, QC: Tropical Hawaii - "ice cream for breakfast?! sure why not..."

2009-09-04T10:03:31-07:00

Review of Tropical Hawaii at 1645 Maisonneuve Street West, Montréal, QC

by rwarren69:

I visited this restaurant in August 2007, for brunch. This is a cafeteria-style place that serves fresh-squeezed juice, crepes, fresh fruit, breakfast items, and ice cream. Anyone that’s eaten breakfast with me knows I am not an egg person. Toss one in a cake, that’s ok; but egg...

Montréal, QC: Café Cabrini - "mixed bag "

2009-09-03T19:56:27-07:00

Review of Café Cabrini at 5655 Rue Saint-zotique Est, Montréal, QC H1T

by rwarren69:

This café is located at the main entrance of the Santa Cabrini Hospital, and is open throughout the day for a little something or a full meal.Being as this is the only Italian hospital in Canada, you can get espresso and cappucino at this café, not just a cup of murky swamp water. Serv...

Montréal, QC: Lab - "the absinthe ritual"

2009-09-03T19:30:55-07:00

Review of Lab at 1351 Rue Rachel Est, Montréal, QC

by rwarren69:

Sorry Evelyne, I’m not keeping this a secret.This dark little hideaway serves a drink with a history: absinthe. Not the “poison” of a hundred years ago, but a choice of 3 varieties of a modern liquor. You must watch the whole ritual with the ice machine, and the wat...

Montréal, QC: Sushi De L'lle - "watch out for bones!"

2009-09-03T19:14:10-07:00

Review of Sushi De L'lle at 5152 Rue Beaubien Est, Montréal, QC H1T

by rwarren69:

This is another new sushi restaurant in the east end. Here there are lots of colorful posters to show you what sushi looks like — which makes it easier to decide what to try. The platter was personally delivered to the table, but I found there wasn’t a lot of flavor.One of...

Montréal, QC: Restaurant St-Aubin - "comfort food priced right"

2009-09-03T19:01:16-07:00

Review of Restaurant St-Aubin at 5195 Rue Beaubien Est, Montréal, QC

by rwarren69:

This is the place to go when you don’t want a big fuss, but you want hot affordable food and a whole lot of it. You have a bit of everything: smoked meat, pizza, fish, Greek, Italian, Chinese, even liver and bacon. (hey no gagging noises, I like liver!)the daily special table d...

Montréal, QC: Presse Café - "a little Zen in the city core"

2009-09-03T18:44:38-07:00

Review of Presse Café at 1001 Boulevard De Maisonneuve Ouest, Montréal, QC H3A

by rwarren69:

Coffee shops for me are not about grab and go. They are about sitting back and relaxing in a comfy chair with a warm brew and a sweet treat.So I was really thrilled when this chain shop renovated and brought in the atmosphere! The new look reminded me of Veritas — the stores are...

Montréal, QC: Sachi Sushi - "really really good!"

2009-09-03T18:29:46-07:00

Review of Sachi Sushi at 4931 Rue Beaubien Est, Montréal, QC H1T

by rwarren69:

This is a brand new sushi restaurant, opened August 24. I was intrigued to discover that the menu looks almost identical to Itamea Sushi, further west on Beaubien. And it sure tastes that way too!While I waited for my takeout order, I received a piping hot egg roll on the house, to ti...
