    Since I wrote my first review, I went back FOUR TIMES in 3 weeks.

    This place is like heroin. I don't know what the hell is going there (mind control, drugs in the food) but I can't stop thinking about it and dragging everyone I know there. So far I've tried the Autumn Spazzle, burger, Hunter's Chicken, and flapjacks with caramelized bananas. Holy shit - amazing.

    Honesty over good sense here.  sigh.  I LOVE THIS JOINT!  I live in Outremont and this is my little escape when I want a solo breakfast or lunch.  The waffles are otherworldly.  It's the only time in my life I've ordered waffles and actually been thrilled with them.  The burgers are killer and the chicken (which came with my waffle...crazy but great) was so good I ordered more as take-out to nosh on while I watched NHL playoffs later in the night.  Why honesty over good sense you ask?  Because the more honest I am the more business goes to this little hideaway (I haven't told my neighbours yet)...and the more business they get, the harder it becomes for little ole me to get a seat.

    Great food, simple menu but all good items. Good beer, good location, friendly staff. Beef sandwich was excellent, meet was juicy and tender. Spinach dip was good, the chips they serve with it have that good combination of salty sweet.

    An instant favourite of mine, Nouveau Palais has become THE place I introduce my visiting friends to. From the burger to the spaetzle to the serving of cookies and milk for dessert, the food here never disappoints.

    The Palais is a definite local hangout, with great service, great drinks, and great music.

    So far, I've only had the chance to go for the NYE Prix Fixe as I'm out of the country, but goddamn is this place good. I know that a Prix Fixe can't speak to the overarching quality of a restaurant, but everything was perfectly done that night. From the seared scallop app to the trimmed BBQ duck entree, the food was glorious. The service was also attentive, and humorous. Definitely gotta check this place out again when I move back to MTL.

    The Burger I had was extremely delicious. Staff is really friendly and the fries are nicely crisp and the total ambiance in this place is really nice and cozy! Great news? They've got a full bar so its an excellent place to hit for couples or for friends catching up. Must try folks! Enjoy :)

    Awesome, laid back eatery in the Mile End.
    Makes the old classics served with a twist. I had the roasted pork with the sweet potato pie for dessert a few weeks ago when I came here for dinner with a friend and it was just amazing.
    Home-style comfort food cooking at decent prices, everything is fresh as as can be. friendly service, lots of Mile End hipsters.
    Place doesn't look like much from the outside but once you're seated, the vibe totally changes. if I lived in this neighborhood, I'd be here all the time probably.

    Had the burger once before which was decidedly amazaing, so this time I decided to spice it up, and went for the special: start with a bowl of borscht, followed by a hot beef sandwich with hot peppers and salad on the side. The borscht exceeded expectations and the sandwich delicious. The hot peppers might have been a little much, I would recommend sweet peppers for anyone who gets the same sandwich.

    I think everything changed at Nouveau Palais when the new owners including chef Gita Seaton got involved. We recently sampled the ribs with blackened rice and the steak sandwich and everything was subtle, tasty and great. The cocktails here are excellent and Jacques makes fresh lists of killer unique drinks, usually just $6 for all the house's special concoctions.

    I never had the opportunity to go to the original Nouveau Palais but I absolutely love the revamped diner now under new ownership.  I've been frequenting this spot for almost a year now and really enjoy their delicious fare, especially their burger!  It's a mix and twist on classic diner food, often with unexpected menu additions.  It's also a go-to spot for coffee and a slice of incredible sweet potato pie, or for a late-night drink  and cheesy fries with friends.  You've got to try Jacques cocktails!

    While I've reviewed Nouveau Palais in the past for Nightlife Magazine - http://bit.ly/oUpqnb, I recently returned to the neo-vintage resto, and as always, I only have good things to say about the food and the people. In the spirit of mixing things up and keeping it fresh, the special for the night was this sort of stringy mushroom, fried, accompanied by a killer sauce. For anyone with a sweet tooth, it looks like a summer treat at Nouveau Palais is a home-made ice cream sandwich exploding with black cherries. As per usual, the staff was super friendly, and they gave us a dining experience full of heart. And fear not, the stuffed fox is still keeping watch over all patrons.

    Quite a nice find. Rocking an old school diner atmosphere, yet the food is anything but -- much better! I had a porkchop garnished with peaches (peaches!), and these amazing green beans. Would for sure go back.
