Made my way to Montreal last month to tackle part of the 50 Best Restaurants in North America List…read more Beba sneaked in at #50, but honestly, in this gals opinion, it ranks Top 10 in my Beli app! Small restaurant with under 10 tables and a few bar spots. Yes, you need a reservation. If I lived in Montreal, this would absolutely be a once- or twice-a-month spot for me. Our server was wonderful and explained that the menu is designed for sharing. That was really a (nice) surprise, because honestly --- this may be a top 5 best value meal I ever had! We started with the montadito of mackerel with sesame and horseradish. Two pieces to a serving, and I'd say it is a two-bite appetizer. The fish was succulent. Literally melted in your mouth, and the horseradish was fresh, strong, and in all its glory. We also shared a salad of radicchio and escarole with potatoes, bean-aigrette, and pecorino. Really nice portion for two, and for such a simple salad, it was the perfect ease from mackerel into our entree. When we were visiting, we lucked out. Beba had been marinating, massaging, and whatever else one does to make a pork shoulder as tender and delicious as what we experienced. It was a Chef's special and accompanied by some grilled peppers and maitake mushrooms. The portion size was such that (sadly) we had a couple of pieces left over. Literally, I ate until I just could not eat another bite. I cannot recommend Beba more highly. It is truly a gem.

Whoa Nelly ! Lol.

What everyone says is true!! The lady here is super nice. The chimichurri and criolla sauces are…read moreyum. Like I need to buy a bottle of this stuff! Luckily, they do sell them for $8 and $9 respectively. The empanadas are a bit on the smaller side but full of flavor. I enjoyed both the beef which went well with the chimichurri and the chicken which paired well with the criolla. Just wish there was more! The crust is satisfyingly crisp and doughy. A clever way to tell the different empanadas apart is the stamped letters on the crust! The cornstarch alfajores had a touch of lemon rind in it and the cookie was soft and crumbly. The chocolate alfajores named after the city "Mar Del Plata" is dipped in semisweet chocolate and has hints of orange. The cookie is firm and thick. Of the two, I liked the cornstarch one better as the chocolate one was a little bitter from the dark chocolate.

Great empanadas. Cute ambience. CASH ONLY!!! But it's so reasonably priced and all homemade. The…read morecookies especially are well done. I'll be back to try every single one before I decide on my favourites. They're also very nice here.

The Keg was the perfect spot for a night out catching up with old friends in Montreal…read more My party was seated immediately upon arrival (I had a reservation) which set the tone for a smooth and enjoyable evening. We were fortunate enough to have Alex as our server, and he truly elevated the entire experience. He was knowledgeable, personable, and did an excellent job walking us through the menu and offering recommendations and specials. After hearing his suggestions, I decided on the Snow Crab Cluster paired with a Sirloin, baked potato, and a side of whisky peppercorn sauce. It was a fantastic choice. The steak was cooked perfectly to my liking, the crab was fresh and flavorful, and the whisky peppercorn sauce tied the steak together beautifully. The drinks were equally impressive, and the wine pours were generous enough that I definitely felt I was getting good value. What stood out most, however, was the service. Alex was attentive throughout the meal, ensuring everything arrived correctly and that our glasses never sat empty. Between the excellent food, delicious drinks, and outstanding hospitality, I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the evening reconnecting with my friends. The Keg delivered on every level, and I'd gladly return the next time I'm in Montreal. Thank you!

Food was average. French onion soup was pretty good but I prefer Gruyère cheese instead of Swiss…read more Prime rib was kind of tough. Expected more from their signature meat. Wedge salad was good and were seated quickly. Mixed greens salad was greens and bell peppers. Ambiance was subdued in the lounge.

We had just finished at the Jean-Talon Market and happened to walk by this Mexican grocery store,…read moreso we decided to stop in and see if they had agua fresca or horchata. They didn't have drinks, but we noticed a hot food section on the left side and even spotted churros and tres leches. The grocery store itself is a good size, carrying fresh produce, plenty of Mexican staples like beans, chilies, tortilla, and a wide variety of candies. The lively atmosphere stood out too--they were playing upbeat Mexican music, and most of the shoppers and staff were speaking Spanish, which added to the authentic feel! This reminded me of Fiesta, the grocery chain in Texas!

Third stop of my taco-filled easter weekend. This was recommended by my sister so I decided to pay…read morea visit on easter Monday! I grabbed the pork tacos and 2 tamales (1 sweet, 1 savoury). The sweet tamale was quite... interesting, my boyfriend wasn't a fan but I didn't mind it, although it wasn't my fav. The savoury tamale was hearty and filling! The tacos were spicé but so so flavorful and yummy! I can see why it is my sister's favorite spot for tacos. These were a wee bit more pricy than Impac Tacos' but I would say Sabor Latino's portions are much bigger and more filling. Would def come again for some tacos, I wish they had more options and choices tho!

Friendliest bar staff! Looking for the NBA playoff games and were ecstatic to find this place to…read morewatch. Started with delicious escargot and since we are at a steak house, of course you must order steak! The sear on the rib steak is fully flavored and perfectly cooked to medium rare. We ordered it classic style so we could split our dinner which comes with a fresh salad, steamed green beans with carrots and some warm bite sized mushrooms. Definitely shareable!

Came for the cozy winter vibes and left slightly traumatized by the food…read more The KeggNog drink is literally liquid gold, best eggnog cocktail I've had in years, full stop. The prime rib was also really good, and sitting near the fireplaces in the bar was so aesthetic. But the NY Strip was incredibly tough, and the burger was a total crime. It came out completely charred and burnt. Like, how do you serve that? 3 stars because the bar experience is elite, but skip the burger at all costs.

Disgusting service !…read more Manager or who ever is in charge won't own up to how awful her service is. Let her know the date I was there and that I can't remember much more due to a seizure but wouldn't help me. Told me she would call me in 2 days... never called 11 days later got an email with no help! We went to the keg in the old port way better on the 5th skip this location. And around Xmas time we had to be seated next to French drug dealers legit walking around wasted and in out or the bathroom hitting the slope if you know what I mean

But I was told other food I never tried are as good as the steaks. I'm a new-York pepper steak kind of guy, and it's always very good. My girlfriend always take the filet mignon that just melt in the mouth. My waiter today, I forgot his name unfortunately but he was very kind, funny and enjoyable. I sometime had waiter that were more basic but him was above and beyond. If you want a good steak, it's the place!
