Ok this one is a no brainer, I have been eating here for about 10 years and average at least a couple of time a month in winter and 7 in summer when the doors are opened. I discovered this place back when we were renovating a building and needed a place to get food quickly, cheaply and that allowed some dust covered workers in, this was the place. Altough they have recently updated with paint, the decor is classic tavern, dark woods and tv screens with the poker machines in the corner type place. While the look may not be anything to write home about the food definatly makes the trip and repeat visits a given.
Over the years I have tried dozens and dozens of different dishes and would say that the daily specials on the board are far better than the regular a la carte menu. Every thing from fish, seafood (calmar), grilled meats, composed salads (like the chichen with dried currents, or the avocado with matane shrimp, and even some of their pasta dishes are always good, . They also have great chicken wings, which are nicely grilled and not gooey, we like them with the Piri Piri.
This place is as good for lunch as it is for supper and always a good place to go with a bunch of people as your sure everyone will find something they like to eat, also bonus..it is dirt cheap and the service is really friendly. So next time your on the main you should stop into his place, try getting a table next to the window and you can stay warm while you enjoy your meal and laugh at all the people freezing their butts off to get into the famous Schawrtz' deli across the street -

I can't believe this place hasn't been reviewed yet!
This is a charming bar/pub with Portuguese flair. They serve local beers, imported wines, and cook up AMAZING chicken dishes (skip the pork souvlaki- this is not a Greek neighborhood, it's little Portugal).
La Cabane is really an unassuming gem. We were met by a rugged bartender/waiter, a comprehensive menu and specials board, and a great bluesy-rock playlist on a Monday night. This was enough to stay and eat; the food we devoured was good enough to go back if we're ever in Montreal again. in addition, I truly enjoyed the spotlight lighting they added to highlight what I'm assuming are the owner's favorite things: the specials board, the beer-brand wall-art, and the collection of Portuguese clay pots on the walls. Montreal is lucky to have a place like this with such personality.
Here's how we found it on a recent trip to Montreal:
It's a little embarrassing, but we followed other reviews up to this neighborhood for Rotisserie Romados and were deterred by a few things (lack of seats, stained ceiling tiles, and an all-male clientele that looked a bit perverse eating their chicken). After all this time searching for unique places to eat, I probably should feel slightly ashamed that I didn't just stick to the plan and enjoy the raved about food, but we fled from Rue Rachel to Blvd St. Laurent... and I'm so glad we did.
