Wow-  I couldn't disagree more with the previous review.  Fresh. Fast. Fabulous.  I am seriously drooling thinking about the slabs of ice cold salmon and tuna sashimi I inhaled during my stay in Montreal.

If you are American and have  Bank of America- make sure to bank here.

They are a sister bank to BofA and don't slice cents off your dollars to exchange money.

Funky in a good way underground cafe right on St. Catherine.  Blink and you'll miss the staircase- so pay attention because it's a place to remember!

The most extensive menu of unique food and drink- rad place to come in the freezing cold wintertime.More »

I started with a roast vegetable gazpacho topped with goat cheese-…More »

Not only do they have one of the most fantastic wine menus I've ever seen, they also have some tremendous amuses-bouches to pair it with.

For those of you who've seen "Bottle Shock"...well, I believe there should be an equivalent in the pastry/boulangerie department.

Amongst some places out West, Premiere Moisson could seriously take on some infamous Parisian bakeries in a heartbeat.

For those who've seen La Boqueria in Barcelona- this market is the only I've found to rival it.

There's something about this place I adore.

Of note is the flamm- a very flattened pizza.  Anyplace I can get a yummy pizza-like substance along with a pitcher of beer for under $20 is great in my eyes.

Also love the beer mugs- I'm not gonna deny…More »

3 stars are for amazing drink- food did not look good enough to try.

I agree with the previous review that service could have been better, food prices are steep for "tex mex" and there is something just plain weird about wiping your mouth with toilet paper...

Do YOU know the muffin man?

I DO!

and he cooks up the most heavenly fluffy creations I've ever experienced.  

creamy cappucino, crumbly muffins, and enough Dalida to satiate my brain for years to come- best way to start a morning in Montreal!
