Ya. It's pretty dang good.

The legend is true. This meat is freaking awesome. Usually I'll take lean over fatty meat, but at Schwartz's, it's all good. Pickle was good too. Cole slaw and fries were meh. We waited about half an hour, but it was totally…More »

All that jazz!

Other places do jazz once in a while. But these folks do it all year 'round. Aw yea. Great venue and friendly bar staff. Don't know much about the food, but their drinks and desserts are solid. But really, you come for the jazz.

I love this market.

I could seriously spend the whole day here eating my way around. The produce was so vivid and fresh, it was fun just to look at; but the joy is in sampling each vendor's offerings. Some of the highlights were trying fruits I've…More »

Stair Master!

Mont Royal is a really nice park with wide trails and great views. You can hike to the top relatively quickly if you take the stairs... a must see stop for tourists. Don't be discouraged by the mountain, it's really not that bad. There's…More »

The line is long, but the wait is worth it.

This rotisserie chicken is so juicy and greasy. Yum. I got the combo with fries, rice, and salad, but you can ask for the combo any way you like (just salad and rice, etc). Sauce is excellent (perfect level…More »

This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal.

It's the kind place that you want to try everything on the menu... if price weren't an issue. My waiter went through the short menu and described everything in precise detail, which took at…More »

Best French Bistro!

Dude. It was all about the duck when I came. Duck pâté. Duck confit. OMG. Duck fat is amazing. AMAZING. I definitely have to agree with other customers, that the fois gras was freaking awesome. It was a hard choice though,…More »

Bao!

There's the buffet in the back, but the store in the front is a dedicated bun aka "bao" pumping machine for to-go orders. You can smell the sweet fluffy bread from a block away. They have meat and veggie buns and of course the classic b.b.q. pork…More »

A must see.

The basilica is breathtaking. When you step inside, you'll find that it's surprisingly bright.. and blue.. and very detailed. A tour is recommended to hear the storied history behind Notre-Dame and what all the statues and carvings mean.…More »

Canadian dim sum.

I'm Chinese. I have a pretty high standard. My momma makes dim sum. I've even had dim sum from Hong Kong. So, this dim sum didn't really rock my world. BUT, it's pretty dang authentic dim sum. I'm sure this is a spot lots of Chinese…More »

Good place to learn about Polish food.

I came here on a random tip from a tour book and it was alright. I got the cabbage and sausage stew, which was tasty, but a bit salty. It would have went well with beer. I'd definitely get it again. For dessert,…More »

Did not meet my eggspectation.

Normally it's not a big deal if one of my over-easy eggs comes with a broken yoke, like at Denny's or something. But at a place that's all about eggs, they should know better! Actually, it's not even a problem since I…More »

Second cup anyone?

With a name like that, they should offer refills for free! My favorite drink to get is the mocha. Very rich and robust. But pricey! Maybe the same or more than the Starbucks next door. Anyway I was glad to have a "second" choice,…More »

Looks better than it tastes...

The attention to detail is excellent. But it's one of those experiences, where you feel bad eating it because you have to ruin the presentation. The restaurant itself is cozy and unpretentious, and doubles as a market…More »

Typical club venue.

We had some live honky-tonk (Canadian?) music, which wasn't that groovy for me... although the older folks were having an absolute ball. The highlight of the evening was this lady who did some acrobatic stunts with a trapeze and…More »

My first poutine.

Before coming to Montreal, everyone was telling me, "You have to try the poutine." Cheese curds and gravy over fries? It sounds it could be a winning combo, but the one I had at La Belle Province (chain store, kind of like a Canadian…More »
