    La tarte a la lime
    Jean-Francois C.

    Très belle endroit a tapas. Je suis surpris de certains review pour ma part j'ai bien aimé. Je suis allé pour les huîtres a 1$ avec mignardises minimum de 6 et pour leur cocktail assez originaux qui se distingue. J'ai aimé le sling Bêtise avec du Bénédictine et une liqueur de cerises. . Enfin pour dessert je suggère les churros il y en as assez pour 2. J'étais au bar et le service irréprochable avec une touche d'humour. Je regardais la clientèle principalement des couples qui avais l'air sous le charme de la soirée. Je vais devoir revenir essayer les tapas

    Cool sunken bar! Murale!

    We really lucked into a spot at this lively, friendly Tapas restaurant. La "Well" est plutôt tranquille les mardis soirs pluvieux et ce restaurant est très discret. Tots of choices, sadly, there were only two of us. À deux, trois plats étaient très adéquats. Not enough sauce on the General Tao Poutine but the veggies were amazing. Les crevettes aux patates douces.. mmmm. And, Dave some room for churros with salted caramel sauce! Service avec le sourire! And do you know what tastes better than lychees? Boozy lychees! Essayer le sangria clair! Il est délicieux!!

    This resto located right on Wellington in the heart of Verdun is a great space to share a few bites and cocktails with friends, especially due to the big inviting bar right in the heart of the dining room. I visited La Betise with 4 other foodie friends during the Montreal à table festival where we enjoyed a three course meal for 43$; I opted for the octopus starter, the tuna tartare entree, and finished with the Paris-Brest dessert. The food was really good; flavourful and well presented. I also enjoyed the paired wine for each of my two first plates and was very happy with the choices. Unfortunately, the service lacked for many reasons; the waitress managed to take down the wrong orders for every one of the three courses for at least one of us. This meant that the food was also not always served at the same time for all of us. Also, I had to ask for my second wine pairing twice although my entree was already served several minutes before. Our desserts came quickly enough with no error but no one asked if we'd like a coffee with our dessert either (personal pet peeve). We had to wave down the staff to get our bills which we noted were all wrongly entered (explains the wrong dish orders); luckily, it was a fixed menu price so we didn't have to redo the bills. This resto could be a great spot for tapas and drinks if they'd get the service up to par. So for now, I'll give them the average 3 stars, thanks to the good food and great space.

    Delicious 1$ oysters on tuesdays and thursdays. They're so fresh and it comes with an acidic sauce that matches very well with them. The rest of the food however are average. I love the concept of asian fusion, but they all just tasted ok. I tried the salmon tartare, korean ribs, fried calamari and general tao poutine. The salmon tartare had way too much sauce and you couldn't really taste the salmon anymore. The poutine was good but it just tasted slightly different from a regular poutine. The general tao chicken didn't really taste like general tao. The ribs were tender, soft and delicious. The fried calamari was ordinary. As for the service, both times were great. The staff are friendly and we get the food quickly.

    Under 2 pieces of full crackers, there were crumbs... For those prices, they should not cheap out on crackers!

    Came here for a reservation with a big group of 17 for a friend's Bach dinner during our trip to…read moreMontreal after doing research and I'm happy to report that it did not disappoint. I wanted to share my experience because their online and in person menu is quite ambiguous and doesn't do justice in explaining their tasting menus. What I really like about this restaurant is that unlike many, they don't make everyone order the same thing. It just requires a minimum of 2 people for the tasting menu and everyone else can order what they please otherwise. The $55 tasting menu is pretty worth it imo. The fact that a drink alone is about $17 as is makes it worth, because it comes with multiple tapas and a drink of choice. The server tried his best to explain everything to us beforehand, but we couldn't help but start to worry during the meal when a few plates came out and we hadn't seen anything for a while. Basically, there are 3 courses, and each course contains multiple items which come out pretty quickly all at once. We started off with lighter apps like edamame, karaage, gyoza, and Japanese pasta. There will be a waiting period before the next course comes out (but don't panic like we did, it doesn't end here). The second course contained tuna poke, a vegetable dish, beef tataki, and takoyaki. There is another waiting period before the third (and heaviest) course comes out. We received pork ribs (a crowd favourite), salmon, and a watermelon salad to end. There were definitely more dishes that I'm forgetting but by the end of it we were all stuffed and pleasantly surprised with the variety we received and unanimously thought it was pretty worth. The restaurant environment is also such a vibe... just a great social setting overall. We had some people in our group that opted out of the tasting menu and decided to share à la carte style, and they also enjoyed their meal and thought it was worth it too. I'd highly recommend this spot as it was a highlight during our trip.

    Our first day in Montreal and we were walking down the street looking for lunch. We stumbled on…read moreKYK's and liked the look of this classic pub. So in we go! There was a nicely selected set of local beers on the menu. We had a few and they were great. I won't detail them as I think the selection changes routinely. It was tough to decide what to get. I was poutine-curious but was unsure about the foie gras gravy. Andrew ordered the poutine with the duck confit. He loved it and said it was among the best poutine he has had. I went for the traditional mussels as Andrew said this is a thing to get in Montreal, they will do it well. He was right, the bowl was huge and the mussels and sauce were excellent. The only thing I would change is I like a baguette with mussels more than fries so if that is an available substitution I would be all in. I loved this place, I would go back again when I return to Montreal.

    We had dinner here late on a Tuesday night after seeing a show at the Place de Arts. After the…read moreshow, very few places were open to eat, so we were thankful that the kitchen at Nyk's doesn't close until 11pm. This is a bar that also has a small amount of table seating, but the ambiance is clean and nice, not like a dive bar. Our server was great as well. I had the burger and I added blue cheese and pickles to it. They gave me lots of pickles which was great, but the blue cheese was spicy, I think it was blended with horseradish or something. My dad had the French onion soup and the feta with mixed vegetables. To drink I had the L'alveole, which was tasty and similar to a paloma, but could have benefitted from some salt or tajin on the rim.

(I came several times and often after leaving more expensive less satisfying restaurants) And that's before getting to the stellar wine/drink menu, replete with GOOD non alcoholic options. Wonderful curation of nerdy, interesting and TASTY wines. Special shoutout to our phenomenal dreadlocked server who had a way of explaining the food/menu/drinks and checking in that didn't feel overbearing, too wordy, or awkward... just kind and attentive. Recommended: cod croquette, broccoli and spatzle, whole fried fish, and the miso black food

The service was friendly but they seemed short staffed that night. We were trying to refill our water glasses but it took a while since I couldn't find any waiter or waitress around. Now let's start with the food: Focaccia: 5/5 bread was warm, toasty and tasty but the dip was the highlight Leeks with smoked mackerel, mustard, tobikko: (2.5/5) too creamy with a hint of mackerel and leeks Calamari chou-fleur, asian pear, chili beurre blanc: (2/5) very soupy and too much cream and not flavorful Black cod miso sauce, daikon, kale: (2.5/5) cod was tender but my bite had too much miso on it. It was extremely salty and not well balanced Beef tartare with mushrooms, Asiago: (1/5) mushy texture and way too much Asiago cheese. Flank steak with burnt chili salsa, szechuan pepper sauce, pickled peppers: (2/5) steak was not tender at all and the sauce was overwhelming Fried sea bass with bok choy, soya, nuoc mam (3/5): presentation was great but too many bones with too little meat. Flavor was good and I enjoyed the warm crispy fish with the Vietnamese style salad Overall, my special dinner was disappointing. I felt like the main ingredient never shined and their cheese or cream or sauce were just too overpowering. I really wanted to like Cadet but it fell short of my expectations.

    Nice sunny day to sit out and enjoy some seafood and sangria. I was sat quick, I beat the Friday…read morelunch rush by a little bit. I ordered quickly. Calamari for an app. A lobster roll for my meal and a drink. The sangria came quick and was good, a little syrupy. The calamari and lobster roll took a while, but maybe they are a bit more relaxed in Canada. No one was available, even for me to waive down, no check ins either. Again, probably customary in Montreal, I don't know the culture that well. The calamari was pretty looking, but it was tough as a well done leather glove. The "lobster roll" had about two pieces of lobster, the rest was small shrimp. The flavor was good, the bun was perfect. But still, for the price, a disappointment. The French fries were delicious but soggy. Maybe that was a spin on Poutine.??? I sat for an hour without being able to get someone. I will not return.

Open kitchen with two chefs and two front of the house staff who were warmly welcomed me and were professional throughout. Had the oysters, clean and crisp with a nice Spanish Cava. Tried the lobster croquetas and the anchovy toast points. Tapas were in point, the anchovies were a tad too salty for me. Ended up ordering the catch of the day, butterflied sea bream. It was the piece de resistance. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the cheek/head was juicy all the way to the tail. The sides were fine, the papas bravas could have been crispier, but fine. Green beans were nicely seasoned. Had half and waved the white flag. Paired it with a tasty Albariño. Great start to quick sojourn in Montreal.
