Pooh, Marie and I had our New Year's Eve supper here last night…read more We started off with drinks. Pooh and I had their signature Margarita and Marie had their Long Island Iced Tea. Pooh and I loved our drinks but for the price there should have been more alcohol and less ice. Marie wasn't crazy about her drink. She thought it was more like a cherry juice drink We shared the Calamari platter which was piping hot and had a delicious dipping sauce which Marie kept for her fries. For our main meal I ordered their Fried Chicken Salad. Pooh ordered Apollo à la Brasa, and Marie had Lobster Roll with fries and salad. I liked my salad but since it was "fried chicken " I thought the chicken would be hot. It was just warm so the skin wasn't crispy; more loose like sagging skin. Pooh loved his dish but it was a tad salty and greasy. Marie loved everything. Each of us had a Brazilian coffee which was delicious. After we shared an order of their Beignets. These beignets were huge and came with two dipping sauces: caramel and whipped Nutella. They were heavenly Service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was lively - great music too We would definitely return. I will try a different dish.

We didn't feel rushed and got to just enjoy one another's company. It is tight seating admittedly, and not super comfy, but I'll take it for the yummy food. Will be back for breakfast.

Service was friendly too. The burger comes with fries, salad, or coleslaw. I went with the vinegar-based coleslaw, which was decent. Unfortunately, the "smash" burger wasn't really smashed at all. The patty was thick, lacked that crispy grilled edge and flavor, and honestly tasted more like a premade burger than a true smashburger. Two bites in and I was over it. The hunt for a good smashburger in Canada continues.

They have a carousel style bar in the middle where we posted up at but they also having plenty of seating in the dining room as well as a coffee bar in the front. Bar Darling is doing the most, but I am seated for it. My experience at Darling could be described as my perfect day - a break from walking in delicious fall weather, French wine, oysters, french fries, and good company. This is the kind of spot you can find yourself here for the whole day without noticing. It has the vibe that you are in someone's house who has 100 stories to tell, and I love places like that. Will be thinking about this visit for a while, and wish I was closer to enjoy the bar more!

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.

When you arrive the restaurant is quite big and there's lots of comfortable seating. The menu is huge and there are so many things you can order it's hard to find just one thing because of this my group of 4 decided to get the everything platter which came with brisket ribs pulled pork half a chicken and 3 different sides and sauces. This gave us a really good taste of the classic barbecue options and we had plenty left over to take home. Although most of the food was good the pulled pork and the brisket were the best things on the plate and if your not super hungry getting either one of those items on there own are a great choice! When it came to the sides I was hoping the Mac and cheese would be out of this world but to be honest it fell short on taste the sweet potatoes and grilled veggies are better options in my opinion.

No meat but it didn't need it. The beer cheese on top was so creamy and delicious! Bobby does Dallas was everything you could want in a savory breakfast. Steak, eggs, bbq sauce, cheese mushrooms and onions. Together it was one of our favorites of the day! We also got the peaches and cream pancakes and they were fluffy and the perfect sweet bite at the end of the meal. I will mention that they also have some awesome looking smoothies but I wanted to save all my room for the food so I didn't end up ordering one. But I was sure tempted! If you're looking for brunch in Montreal, look no further. You will not be disappointed in L'avenue.

We stayed…read moreat Le Mount Stephen Hotel without doing much research on dining options, assuming we'd just find something nearby. But before even checking in, we had to walk through Bar George ~ and instantly knew we wanted to eat there. We were lucky enough to grab a last-minute reservation, and Julien took a good care of us throughout the evening. His recommendation of the Beef Wellington was spot on (it's already one of our favorite dishes), but this was hands down the best we've ever had. I ordered the lobster risotto, which was excellent with just the right amount of spice. My son had the 10 oz striploin steak with homemade fries (chips), and it was absolutely delicious. I also loved the Canadian touch of coarse salt on the steak, plus the option to choose between Béarnaise or peppercorn sauce. Julien also mentioned their pastry chef placed second in a NY competition, and the desserts absolutely lived up to that reputation. We tried the pineapple and coconut pavlova and the "lick me hazelnut" ~ both beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. We also ordered iced coffee and a latte, and noticed something interesting: this was the second place where we found Canadian coffee to be smooth and mild ~ such a nice change from the often bitter, over-roasted American coffee. Yes, dinner was a bit steep ($300+), but it was worth every penny. Between the rich history, stunning design, outstanding service, and unique cuisine, I would highly recommend Bar George. I would absolutely love to come back!!
