We like L'Anecdote a lot. It's not perfect (I'll get to that) but it serves a tasty burger and the staff are friendly and helpful. I've enjoyed every meal I've had there (although it's hard to order poutine when Banquise is just down the street) and their burgers and fries are delicious.
The two drawbacks for me: the hours, and the drinks. L'Anecdote closes early for a place like this (Montrealers classically eat late), but that's basically forgivable. The real head-scratcher for me: no milkshakes on the menu! Very baffling for a place that prides itself on its status as a fifties-style diner.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend L'Anecdote; it would be third for me behind Paryse and Banquise, but for a warm bit of Montreal fast food it's hard to top. -

Hmmm... yes, this place is nice and cozy inside.
But it has weird hours for a diner - kicked out at 10 pm?? Don't expect to settle in here with your friends for a night of milkshakes and hangouts.
Service was kind of spotty. I had to get up to ask questions/get water, at least a couple of times.
Worst thing of all: they fry everything in peanut oil!! BEWARE. If you have any friends who are allergic to peanuts, like one of mine, do not go here or s/he won't be able to eat! Most restaurants don't do this anymore. What's the deal? -

Anecdote is a cute little diner that strikes the perfect balance between cute and cheesy. The dining room is full of small, red vinyl booths, and short counter with about six stools. The walls are spotted with old black and white photos of indiscernible characters, and a vintage cash register sits at the end of the bar.
Service was quick at first, and quite adamantly in french. Later into the meal it trailed off - we weren't offered a coffee until after our plates had been cleared. We were in for breakfast, and both of us opted for simple two egg plates (about $7 a piece including meat). The food was nothing special, although the potatoes were certainly homemade and tasty. I might opt for their slightly more extravagant lunch menu in the future.
Overall, it was a fun experience. If you're looking for a traditional diner atmosphere with acceptably tasty, reasonably priced food, give l'anecdote a try.
