Review from Belle D.
Montréal, QC

Oh. My. God. There are so many new incredible restaurants in Montreal - it's actually hard to keep up. I love it. I do believe that the city's nightlife scene could use the same kind of facelift...
Today, I'm raving about Pastaga - a new restaurant that opened just a couple months ago on St-Laurent Boulevard below Little Italy. Don't be fooled - it's not Italian. "Pastaga" is actually another name for Pastis, the French anise-flavored alcohol enjoyed as an apéritif. Accordingly, restaurant puts a modern twist on French-bistro cuisine and décor.

Review from Risa D.
Gold Medal Winner at the Canadian Culinary Championships, Martin Juneau, has opened this bright, lovely, comfortable restaurant up on a northern stretch of St Laurent that's slowly waking up and increasing my love of this neighborhood. Pastaga sits alongside 3 contemporary art galleries and the newly renovated Vices et Versa in the formerly wasteland stretch of the Main above the underpass and before Little Italy. Two pages of all natural wines are just the beginning, I love the staff, the sweet and savoury menus, the big chef's table in the back for eating exceptional food while watching the Habs - the whole spirit of the place is chaleureux, classy but friendly, and I can't wait to go back.

How many times can you say that everything you ate at a meal was wonderful, and you wouldn't change a thing? It's hard to even pick the highlights of our meal at Pastaga, because each dish was so interesting and enjoyable.... And the wine - we asked for a recommendation of a medium-bodied red on the lower half of the price range. The sommelier brought us a wine that fit the bill but was so much more as well, and presented it to us in a friendly and unpretentious manner. The whole staff was friendly and unpretentious, for that matter, switching effortlessly to English since some in our party were less than comfortable in French. The dining areas were intimate and convivial, but spacious enough that you felt that your table had its own space. I suppose that the only advice I'd include for those with larger appetites is that the plates are all delectable, small plates - even light eaters should plan to order 2 per person. But enjoy... since the carte is fairly small, I am sure that the chef must change it fairly regularly, which in my opinion means that there will be new delights in store!
