Be still my beer-nerd heart. Located on the main drag of…read moreHudson in a beautiful old white house, this spot is an absolute gem. My family and I were warmly greeted into Brasserie Bois Blanc by Martin, one of the owners and brewmasters- I knew things were starting off well from the get-go. After explaining the tasting flights to us and welcoming us, Martin met with another patron and sat down at one of the tasting room tables with a "Magic: The Gathering" deck and began to hang out in his own brewery. So rad. I had the IPA flight and was particularly enchanted with the common ale. The rest of my family was really into the imperial stout (tastes like a 9% cold brew!). A lot of the other patrons (mostly fellas of a wide range of ages) were also playing games at their tables, while of course enjoying pints of microbrew. It all makes me wish I lived closer- I wanna hang out here!

Great craft beers, brew master Martin took us on a mini tour of the brewery. If you love dark…read morestouts, I recommend the dark soul, and on a hot summer day, get the California ale. Defenatly worth a stop of you are in the Hudson area, especially after stopping at Finaggans flea market.

This was my "nice" meal during my very short trip to Montreal last weekend, and it turned out to be…read morea great choice. There are 2 sides of the restaurant: the more casual order what you want brasserie side and then the fancier multi-course chef menu side. I chose the brasserie side, where I had a reservation for a bar seat - turns out that wasn't really that necessary as there were several individual bar seats open; A group would probably have a difficult time getting a seat on a Friday evening though. For drinks, I had a paper plane and a last word. Those are my two go to cocktails for nicer bars, and they pulled them off fantastically (they also knew what I was talking about which is kind of rare for the last word). For an extra nice touch, they clipped an actual paper plane to the paper plane drink. Fun! For food, I ordered the Duck Confit. It was super crispy on the outside, but the meat was super tender and juicy and melted off of the bone. My mouth is watering while thinking about it. It also came with bread service. For dessert I had the tiramisu. I would give it a 4/5 - it was a little more bland than others I've had - not bad at all, but not my favorite one of all time. They seem to be serious about their coffee (see pictures). Since I was sitting right in front of it I had to order one to go with the tiramisu. I had a basic americano, and it was a great addition. My only real complaint is the bar seating felt a little bit exposed as the main walkway through the restaurant goes along the bar seating. Drinks 5/5, Service 5/5, Food 5/5, Ambience 4/5

First meal in Montreal and what an experience! We dined in the brasserie side of the restaurant…read more Even though more casual dining, still experienced elevated food and service. We started with oysters from PEI and New Brunswick. Loved that they let you choose the units so we only ordered 4 (2 each). We also had as appetizer their foie gras parfait and tomatoes from our garden. Both we wonderful choices. The tomatoes were perfect for the season with a beautiful balance of tomatoes, stracciatella and focaccia. Foie is a classic and loved the grilled bread and pickled vegetables to accompany it. Our entrees were the lamb rump, braised shoulder and butcher cut steak and frites which was the hangar steak. The lamb was delicious and very hearty in a good way. The steak was perfectly prepared and the frites stayed warm the entire meal with their presentation. We ended with their house fav passion fruit pavlova. Light and airy texture with lovely flavor. Nice way to compete the meal!

The food is very good, I order a margherita pizza and it tastes great, perhaps it is one of those stone oven which I can see from where I sat. The seafood is good and particularly the calamari is cooked just right and its homemade sauce is really nice. I will not consider this as a French cuisine restaurant but it definitely is a nice restaurant for the taste of the food and the size of the food. I am surprised we have this hidden gem restaurant in Orleans. Highly recommended to anyone who lives in Orleans to give it a try.

If you are 30+ years old, this is the place to be! If you check out the P'tit Caribou and find that (1) it's way too crowded, (2) you can't even talk to the person beside you b/c it's so noisy, or (3) you are old enough to be a parent to most people in the bar, then walk down the path to La Diable. The bar area can be crowded, but it's manageable... and the bartenders are fantastic! As for food, I HIGHLY recommend the wings! I asked for sauce on the side during my last visit, but they are good either way. Other highlights include the ribs (a must) and the sausage platter! Everything is tasty, and portions of plentiful. Let me know if you make it over to La Diable and enjoy yourself! I'm pretty sure you'll love the libations, the atmosphere, and the staff.

We also had dessert, hello flan! All dishes were stand alone favorites! I think their menu changes but we had fois gras, spicy pork bites and lobster Mac and cheese, which came out bubbling! The lobster part was a cold lobster salad on bread and on top was grilled, bacon wrapped asparagus. Perfectly balanced. The wine and beer was also unique. I had orange white wine, which was delightful for summer! If you are visiting Ottawa, make the trip across the river for this gem! BTW- see photos for correct hours. They do not close at 7pm on Tuesday or I would not be writing this!

It's hard to spot if you don't look for signs but it's well worth it. This isn't your typical bar. This is a friendly bar where mostly older and calmer people go to. This isn't Annie's or Pioneer where you always see a dumb kid from Abbott puke on a table or a girl, slutty girls dancing then trying to hook up with the next thing to them regardless of gender (not due to bisexuality but due to the % of alcohol in their blood), etc. As of mid-2014, this bar is now my go-to bar. I love it there. The food is very cheap and the beer is even cheaper. Sadly it still looks like a bingo bar from the 80's. There are no pool tables just slot machines and a TON of huge TVs EVERYWHERE making it a decent sports bar. Price: 6/5, cheapest beer I've seen in any bar in the West Island as a non-special event thing: 20.88$/4L pitcher after 9pm on weekends every week. Service: 6/5, I love the crew there. They're nice, polite but homey and friendly. The Bartender Alex is my new Bff. Set-up: 3/5 Pretty crappy to be honest. Still looks like a bingo bar and no pool tables. Only 1 bar available but the place is relatively small. Gave it extra points for the back parking. Food: 3.5/5, decent for the price. Nothing to die for but it's good food. The staff makes up for anything though. The manager is ultra-super-friendly, the bartender and waitresses are GENUINELY friendly, none of that "Fake Smile for a tip" stuff. Free WiFi (just ask for the password, it doesn't change), you can bring food from Dominos/Couche-tard/Tim Horton's. Be sure to ask the manager first if you're going to bring in Pizza since they do their own pizza). I don't think he'll truly mind due to his friendliness but I'd consider it proper conduct. Saturday evenings can get a little full so be careful about your timing. Otherwise it's pretty nice and calm.
