A fantastic dining experience throughout!
Went there on a Sunday evening without reservations. Was a little hesitant that we would get a table, but we got there early enough (~6 PM) that we managed to get one. The windows were all open, so the…More »
Read a lot of good reviews about the beers here, so went there just for beer (no food). The place looked pretty retro, made me think of a 50s diner. The ambiance seemed laidback and relaxed, but there weren't too many people there.
We sampled 4…More »
We read about this rooftop bar in Old Montreal, so we had to check it out. Bar is above the Hotel Nelligan, and we went there on a Sunday afternoon for drinks. Can't say much about the food but seemed like the patrons were mostly getting burgers?

A great bakery selling common bread (i.e. baguettes and croissants) as well as specialty bread. We got a chocolate croissant that was flaky and buttery with good chocolate inside (none of the dry kind), a berry danish that was just fresh and sweet,…More »
Went there on a Saturday evening. Made a reservation for 3 people @ 22:00 without a glitch. The $22 menu after 22:00 is fantastic! I got grilled calamari for appetizer, and it was certainly tasty and a good portion. My friends had the gazpacho…More »
What a great way to pass a Saturday when it was downpouring. The place is cute and very welcoming. The bartender was very nice as well.
My friend heard amazing things about this microbrewery especially the péché mortel. We honestly tried every beer…More »
Definitely a mom-and-pop kind of place. Seems like it might be family run? The guys behind the counter were friendly to the customers. Very modest decor (some chairs and tables with a TV). They sell a hodgepodge of Italian things from coffee to…More »
My friend took me there for the first time 4.5 years ago, and I remember my experience there quite pleasant. My friend had the foie gras, and it went very well with bread.
4.5 years later, I find myself back at L'Express again, and my 2nd experience…More »
Very modest (and small!!!) place. The lady at the counter was super-nice. I got the sesame bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese. It was great. There is a hint of sweetness in these bagels that make them unique in Montreal. There is also…More »
I'd give this place 3.5 stars if I can. I'm not a vegetarian, but I love my vegetables enough that I am very happy when I see a vegan restaurant.
I got the tofu dragon bowl (tofu, daikon, shredded vegetable with brown rice). I wish they'd mix the…More »
We came here because we wanted to go to a BYOB (o "Apportez Votre Vin") restaurant in Montreal. After hearing about Pho Viet, we decided to go give it a try.
The place is small and gives this homey ambience, which was a plus for me. I got a combo of…More »
Had brunch there. Even though I've read mixed reviews about this place, my dining experience there was decent. The waiter was nice and friendly.
I had cafe au lait avec lait de soya (pretty much a soy latte as it was made with expresso instead of…More »

We stumbled into this place by surprise. Since my friends and I are cupcake fanatics, we had to stop here to give the cupcake a try. We got the red velvet.
The frosting was indeed very tasty, but the cake was a tad on the dry side. I'd give the…More »

We hung out there between a day's out and going to Nuit Blanche, and the place is great! I love the ambience there: shabby tables and chairs, modest and old decor, and good music (Belle & Sebastian and Jose Gonzalez were played in the background…More »
Heard all about the poutine before coming to Montreal so had to try it. After reading rave reviews about Banquise being the best for poutine, we gave it a try.
The service was sub par. It took forever for us to order, and their menu was slightly…More »
We went during All-Nighter Festival (Nuit Blanche) this past weekend and made it to Santropol as one of our last stops. Sadly, they only served hot chocolate, soups/chili, and cakes at that time, so we didn't get to try their renowned sandwiches.
We…More »

Of course we had to stop there as this was one of the first 'raved' places in Montréal that I have read about. We got there on a Sunday morning (~10:00), so it wasn't crowded yet. We easily got a table without a hassle.
We got the smoked meat…More »
It was cool to see the bagels in the making when I walked inside St. Viateur. There was soooo many bagels...it was great!
I got their signature sesame bagel. I was a little bummed that they don't spread cream cheese for you (have to get packaged…More »

We read blogs about this place being great for the cupcakes, so we made a pit stop to grab a couple.
Of course, going in there, we met the lady who makes the cupcake (aka the owner). She's really cute with her bandanna and was friendly to us. We got…More »
