Indoor seating is limited and can get a little busy on the weekends. I just spent the last week in Montreal and visited 4 times. Croissants, pain au chocolates, milles feuilles, tarts, cakes, madeleines, oh my! I tasted so many things and as I sit here in the airport I am eating my final treat, a croissant sandwich with smoked salmon and a variety of fixings. When I find really good food I often forget to take pictures because of how fixated I am on enjoying it. This is one of those times. No pictures, only memories. My husband can eat gluten and he was delighted with everything we tried. This is a must visit bakery in old town Montreal.

My wife has celiac, so when I came with the family we had to ensure that all of the dishes we ordered were gluten free. The staff was incredibly helpful in ensuring she would be safe. We tried a variety of dishes and shared and everything we had was amazing. The second time I came I got a chance to try some of the bread which was also great. The combination of excellent food and an inspired cocktail menu make this a great place for lunch, dinner or even just drinks out with friends. I highly recommend this place, it's a gem in the Plateau.

I'm a huge fan of Somebody Feed Phil, and after watching Phil rave about St-Viateur Bagel Café--and…read moreeven do his signature happy dance over the bagels--I knew I had to try it for myself. I've eaten bagels my entire life and honestly never thought they were anything that special. But when we had the chance to visit Montreal, this was one of the first places on our list. When we arrived, there was a long line, and we waited about 35 minutes. Normally, that would make me question whether it's worth it, but this time it absolutely was. I ordered the smoked salmon with fig jam on an everything bagel, and it was incredible. The bagel was perfectly fresh, with a chewy interior and just the right amount of crispness on the outside. Combined with the smoked salmon and the sweetness of the fig jam, it was one of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had. I rarely say this, but it was 100% worth the wait. My only disappointment is that I didn't have enough time to try their famous competitor so I could compare the two. I guess that just gives me another reason to come back to Montreal!

Holy overrated…read more Great history and decent bagels, but I think the hype was just too much. I mean - with Philadelphia brand being a cream cheese option I already had my doubts. Not sure why this place was deserving of long lines in the rain, and I would not go back. Fun photos though.

If it was a little less thoroughly combined it would've been a 10/10. I had their PIE oysters and I ended up ordering an additional 9!

Took me a while to get cocktail sauce. They could've been kinder but I think it's just a matter of which servers you talk to. Overall it was a great first dining experience in Montreal and one of my favorite overall.

The fish was tender and the fries were classic British style, a bit more potatoey than crispy, but pairs well with malt vinegar. The tartar sauce was okay to me, but I also am not the biggest fan of tartar sauce so I'm probably not the best judge. They also have mushy peas! Very hard to find a place that offers mushy peas (which I love) so big kudos. If you like fish and chips you deserve to try this and see how the brits do it! Got the sticky toffee pudding, and I wish they put on more sweet sauce, but it was delectable however I could not eat as much as I wanted as I was so full from the fish. Highly recommend!

The fries, er chips were a generous portion and not too greasy. The fish was also well cooked, but they were a little too greasy... It was served with slaw and mushy peas. I would have liked to add a cup of chowder, but alas, no joy... My server was great, no issues whatsoever. She made some suggestions and inquired about my travel plans and offered some tips on what see and what to avoid... Overall 4.5/5 The Guinness was also bomb!!

While I was in Montreal, I frequented this shop almost every day, getting their almond croissant, regular croissant, and chocolate croissant. I tried several of their desserts as well.

The Mille-feuille was my favorite, very tasty but firmer than I'm use to. The opera cake was alright. The almond croissant was dry. I had just had a "real" one the other day and this just didn't compare. For me it's just average, but for someone who cant have gluten... she says it amazing.

I'd never had the French Canadian heart-attack-on-a-plate, and was a little nervous as it just looks like it has A LOT going on. I sludged into La Banquise dead sober at 4:11am, as this is a legendary spot that is open 24 hours. I sat down in a bustling no frills atmosphere and remembered my deep appreciation for a 24-hour diner. You see people for who they really are this early in the morning. A couple in front of me was in a heated argument about what "being exclusive" really meant, while two separate groups of 4 to my right were feeling no pain and enjoying a poutine night cap. There I was, sipping on my black coffee mentally prepping myself for the 45 mile (72 km) day I had in front of me. The dichotomy of life. I asked the server what the most popular item was, and he said La Scooby. This monstrosity consisted of fresh cut fries, cheese, gravy, ground beef, bacon, onions, fried pickles, and caesar dressing garlic sauce. I got the small ($12.40 usd), but this thing was a TANK. It was bigger than my head and I have a HUGE head. The large must be a family style portion or somethin. Upon first bite, it was damn good. I completely see the poutine appeal. Is it an ideal meal dead sober at 4:11am? No, absolutely not, but this is an S-tier hangover food. Also, if there is ever a day when I need some extra calories, it's on a 100k step day. All the staff was so welcoming, and surprisingly chipper this early in the morning. SHOUTOUT TO LA BANQUISE! THANK YOU FOR FUELING THE JOURNEY! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo
