Kid Friendly

1. Wilensky's Light Lunch

34 Fairmount Av W
Montreal, QC H2T 2M1
(514) 271-0247

11/17/2011

Founded in the Mile End in 1932, and in the current spot since 1952, Wilensky's Light Lunch is an institution which lots of us Montrealers are deeply fond of. Most read Mordechai Richler's "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz" in high school and…More »

2. Effiloché

6252 Rue Saint-Hubert
Montréal, QC H2S 2M2
(514) 276-2547

Category: Fabric Stores

11/16/2011

Beautiful fabric and wool store in the St Hubert strip under the awnings of the Promenades. Walking into this space it feels just right - gracious puppy dog at the doorway, couches full of knitters, happy folks of all ages pawing at the pretty stacks…More »

Montreal, QC H2T 1P7
(514) 845-8813

Category: Bakeries

11/12/2011

Those two tiny tables in the front in the windows just raised a bit off the street on Mount Royal in the tiny yellow building that's wafting smells like French bread heaven? Yeah. That's where you want to be. Everything is tasty, but the brownie is…More »

4. Deli Joe

7143, rue Saint-Dominique
Montréal, QC H2S 3B8
(514) 342-4563

Categories: Delis, Sandwiches, Breakfast & Brunch

11/8/2011

I am biased in favor of the cheapo breakfast because I think there is magic in affordable food. Deli Joe's breakfasts are all around 10$ - not super cheap, but big affordable plates for sure - stacked with market fresh fruit and veg. And the space…More »

5. Le Tonkin

6542 Boul St-Laurent
Montreal, QC H2S 3C6
(514) 227-7220

Category: Vietnamese

11/4/2011

I'd be happy to give Tonkin a 3.5 star if that were possible, it really is a solid option up in Little Italy for fresh and super tasty Asian food. I certainly agree with Clare L that the menu is a little multi-national to be successfully authentic…More »

6. Pâtisserie le Ryad

7070 Ave Henri-Julien
Montréal, QC H2R 1T1
(514) 777-2189

Category: Bakeries

10/28/2011 First to Review

Another inexpensive place for a really tasty quick lunch in Jean Talon Market, le Ryad stands in the very middle of the covered crossroads in Jean Talon market. Essentially a square with three long glass display counters full of Moroccan pastries and…More »

7. La Magie de La Pomme

925 Chemin Fresnière
Saint-Eustache, QC J7R 0G2
(450) 623-0062

Category: Do-It-Yourself Food

10/30/2011 First to Review

Red barns and tractors, sunny rolling hills and trees bowed low with fruit, leaves turning apple colored with the fall. There are hundreds of places within a 1hr radius of Montreal to go apple picking, Magie de la Pomme is probably not the best in…More »

8. Cafe Bistro L'amandier

100 Rue Saint-Viateur O
Montreal, QC H2T 2L1
(514) 272-7716

10/22/2011

A fair price with a smile and thoughtful touches. Very simple bare bones decor. The vegetarian benedict with avocado is delicious, as is the coffee. A friend of mine calls this place "One Man Show" because it's been the same fatherly, dignified,…More »

Category: Farmers Market

10/14/2011

I will eventually review all my favorite bits of Jean Talon Market (which is one of my favorite places so far ever) but for today, here's one way to do the market:

Come from Jean Talon Metro. Walk on Jean Talon to Henri Julien then make a left (we…More »

Another super community oriented creative bright light on Bernard full of the best and most beautiful books - not just the weep-worthy graphic novels published by Drawn and Quarterly, but novels and books of poetry and non-fiction as well. I just…More »

Nice crust. Not too thin, not heavy. A paper placemat menu with 70 pizza options (somehow this already makes me love you). All the ones I've tried are fresh and the combinations tasty. Sort of an old Italian Quebecois family diner vibe with big…More »
