Wow, I expected low reviews but not 2 stars! Anyway, I think Le Milsa needs a revamp of their look…read more They feel a bit dated. I don't normally do AYCE because it's hard to get good food when it's "unlimited". I would prefer à la carte...but that being said, I came here because the family wanted to eat here. I came here with a strategy. I carefully documented the 9 different meats served on the Turnstile menu we were served so that I could figure out which ones I liked the best and could ask for seconds. They say it's 10 but in reality it's 9. They count the bacon-wrapped turkey as 2 kinds of meat. So here are the 9 kinds of meats stack up from best to worst: Top Pick: Rib steak--this was the winner for me. I could go there and just have a plate of this and I'd be done. It's got fatty bits in there so it's tender and full of flavor. Try to get the outside parts where the fat is nicely rendered. Runner Ups: Chicken drumstick heads--tender, juicy and full of flavor Sirloin--this was quite good Pork--very tender, a bit fatty Neutral: Lamb--tender but very lamby tasting so make sure you enjoy lamb!! Pork sausage--overall good, garlicky; I had a half and it was too salty but then the second one wasn't as salty so not sure what to make of it. Turkey bacon--juicy turkey, bacon is a bit salty but I kind of expected it Filet mignon--was decent but needed more flavor Least favorite: Roast beef--a bit tough and needed salt So there you have it! If I were to go again, I would probably just eat the top 4 and if I had room, I'd pick from the "Iffy" selection. They offer fries, sweet potatoes, very very peppery sauteed mushrooms, salad, beets and rice with the Turnstile menu. I actually really like their salad dressing. Kind of helps lighten the meat meal. The grilled pineapple was good but not as good as I remembered it a number of years back (7 years I believe) but the good thing is that everyone gets served both ice cream and pineapple. Our servers were really nice and even spoke Spanish with my Spanish speaking family. Don't be afraid to flag them down to get more of a type of meat. Overall, a decent place to eat weeknights as it's only $33.95 for the turnstile menu but I probably wouldn't come eat on weekends.

When we did, they had already given all the tables away. So we waited another 15, and got a 2 person table with an extra chair added in the middle of the restaurant walkway. Just a few minutes later, a 4 person table freed up so we asked if we could switch. The waiter said no sorry... however I think he spoke to his boss after who seemed to hesitantly make an exception... even though we had had a reservation... and still had to wait. I would definitely go back for the food. Interior is a bit cramped and not in the most charming way, so I think I would prefer to order it out to go.

The ambiance wasn't what you'd expect if you've been to another Milsa. It's an open floor plan, and the others have a more cozy feel. This was just a large dining room with Several TVs on every wall. The staff was very friendly, which, honestly was one of the only saving graces here. The bartender was obviously inexperienced. We ordered margaritas and they not only put salt around the rim, but directly in the glass, so every sip was a mouthful of salt. We let them know, and they gave us no hassle about it, just remade them, only they made it double the size. And when you have a frozen drink that is towering over the top of the glass, you have to drink it quickly or else it melts and overflows. Not my idea of fun on a Wednesday night. They could have either given us 2 for the price of one, comped the drinks, or actually just remade them and charged, which would have been fine. The gesture was very sweet and the waiter was great and fun, just not practical. Now, the food... almost everything was either undercooked or over cooked. The roast beef was dry, the sausages were dry, the filet was nearly raw. The chicken was ok, and the garlic bread was to die for! I'd go back just for that bread, not gonna lie. Add to all this that the prices were higher than what is shown on the website and higher than downtown, which for the south shore is odd... it wasn't a stellar experience. With that said, they are new, so I plan to give them another shot once they've had a chance to get their feet wet, and maybe go on a weekend to see what the vibe is like.

The Concierge at my hotel recommended Ferreira, a Portuguese seafood restaurant in Montreal, and…read morewell established in Montreal. We were seated immediately that rainy early summer evening, having a reservation from our Concierge. It's a modern and streamlined looking restaurant interior with an interesting embankment that runs the length of the restaurant separating the well stocked bar from the tables with an underlit top that mimicks onyx and serves as an additional surface for service and whatever you have on your person. Porcelain plates are cracked and cemented to the wall as wallpaper, a definitive reference to Portuguese decor as well as the porcelain tiled backstop to the bar featuring a town somewhere in Portugal. All of it tastefully done and matching the authentic taste of the cuisine. We split a green salad and ordered glasses of red sangria. I asked before ordering if the sangria was served with fruit, but the sangria came out with no fruit. So I had to have them bring the fruit separately. I have never had to ask to ensure the fruit is served with sangria...ever. It was made with good red wine, but that was not a good look. The green salad was fresh, as was the fish to follow. I ordered the Rascasse or Red Scorpion fish, with crispy skin, and my friend ordered the Loup de Mer or Mediterranean Sea Bass, both flown in fresh daily as I understand. You're swimming around Portugal or thereabouts one day and filleted and plated the next...They are that fresh and this is why Ferreira is a seafood institution in Montreal. I enjoyed the slightly oily Rascasse, but the Loup de Mer I tasted was where it's at. I recommend highly the Loup de Mer! Notably, it took the kitchen a considerable time to produce our main courses, at least thirty minutes by our counting, and we both had the same observation and conversation as to length of time for the fish to come out of the kitchen. They served the fish with a very underwhelming orzo cooked in a tomato base, but it turned out very dry and unappealing. The cauliflower and broccoli were fresh and not overcooked, but I don't know what happened to the orzo. We were in alignment as to the orzo and both of us left it rather untouched. It would have been better to serve it with some quality yellow or saffron rice. I finished with an espresso with a very rich full cream that was on point. There are some definite high points to Ferreira Cafe when it comes to their fresh and authentic seafood focus and decor, but a little more attention should be paid to the orzo side and sangria, the latter being a layup and missed opportunity never missed at any Portuguese or Spanish restaurant. So evaluating Ferreira, a venerable restaurant with these inconsistencies and the fact this could have been an aberration, makes it a challenge. My split of the check with tip ran nearly $124 CAD, so not overly expensive for this level of freshness, but still with some misses and not the best value I experienced in Montreal. 3.7 stars
