Now this was an amazing experience. At Onoir you receive some decent food you also receive the experience of being blind. No, they don't blindfold you or put goggles on you. They have you eat in total darkness. By total darkness, I mean there is no…More »

Have you ever been to a restaurant that only serves vegetarian food. How about a vegetarian restaurant that serves duck, chicken, and other meat products. Well at Chu Chai, you are served your choice of meat products that are actually made from soy…More »

Wow. Need I say more. Well I will. If you haven't understood from the other reviewers, this place is amazing. You must get reservations here as it is so popular, that it is always filled. We had reservations and still waited for almost an hour, but…More »

Category: Diners

5.0 star rating
  7/24/2009

I had never had a real poutine but I'm willing to try anything once. The concept for fries with cheese and gravy didn't sound too bad. My boyfriend took me to La Banquise and told me that it was the best in Montreal. They have a large selection of…More »

 6. Les Glaceurs

453 Rue Saint-Sulpice
Montreal, QC H2M 2T6
(514) 504-1469
4.0 star rating
  7/22/2009

I would have given thus place a 5 star but the truth of the matter is that Mollys in Chicago is the best cupcake shop. I liked that they have an ice cream or sorbert and cupcake combo. This makes for a perfect dessert date where you can share a dish.…More »

Category: Chinese

4.0 star rating

So, this place may be a little hole in the wall that a typical person would pass by on a normal day. Don't do it though. This is a wonderful place for some great dumplings. They have a whole list of several meat and vegetable dumplings at a great…More »

3895 St-Laurent Blvd
Montreal, QC H2W 1X9
(514) 842-4813
4.0 star rating
  7/12/2009

I was a little skeptical at first when I was told about eating at Schwartz's. There was a small line outside, so I decided maybe this place isn't as bad as I thought. The inside was set up as a cafeteria and it was very crowded. You also share tables…More »

4.0 star rating
  7/9/2009 First to Review

I may have been full from a large dinner but how could I have passed up the strawberry cheese cake at Pekarna. This totally tantalizing cake and pastry cafe has all kinds of delicious sandwiches, desserts, platters, coffees, and teas. Their prices…More »

Categories: Indian, Pakistani

3.0 star rating
  7/11/2009 First to Review

I can't say that I am an expert on Indian foods, but I thought that aspects of this restaurant could have been better. The food was good but the service was poor. First of all, the waiters were sitting all of the people together by the windows on a…More »

This was one of my favorite restaurants that we visited on our trip to Montreal. The food was wonderful and the service was amazing. I thought the menu was a little confusing, but one of the co-owners herself came to our table and explained how to…More »
