The microbrew bottle list is small, but there's representation of any beer you might want. Chill spot! Be sure to go to the back and see the VW van kitchen counter and pool table.

Hanging out in Montreal on business and it's dinner time. The weather is nice out so we chose to…read morewalk to this spot and check it out after I had done some Yelp research! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is super chill and set in downtown, but in more of the trendy, neighborhood district away from all the giant skyscrapers. It's all small restaurants, shops, brick streets and apartments around this way. There's no private parking lot, so good luck finding space on the street. The outside looks very modern with matte steel finishings among the brick exterior of the building. Inside looks just as modern, but with a retro twist. There's also outdoor seating if you'd like to dine outdoors as well. Service: We sat at the bar and our bartender was helpful, sweet, attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed. Food: I started off with their Jalapeno Poppers which are fried breaded jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese served with Sriracha mayonnaise. These were fairly decent and I enjoyed them as the start to a good meal. For my entree I decided on the Philly Sandwich which is steak, caramalized onions, roasted red peppers, sauteed mushrooms with melted cheese. It was delightful, but felt a little on the small side. Of course it comes with fries or some other side, but I opted for the side salad to try keeping things a little healthier. Value: Pretty standard, tavern-like pricing that won't break the bank and you won't be eating McDonald's cheap either. Right in the middle. In conclusion, I really enjoyed this place and I'd consider revisiting to try out some other things on the menu.

Unfortunately very disappointed and frankly a bit confused by L'Gros Luxe. While the service and…read moreatmosphere were both nice, the food and drinks were very very subpar. Ordered the Doritos nachos which were served with no Doritos? Instead they used old, extremely stale tortilla chips. I truly hate picking a restaurant apart, but the nachos that were supposed to come with black beans had a total of 3 beans and pre packaged "guacamole". We also ordered the cauliflower which lacked any sort of seasoning and was over cooked. Finally the mac and cheese was just straight up weird? Since when is mac and cheese green? While the restaurant is clean and the staff is nice, I can't recommend coming here. Very expensive yet very low quality food.

We started with two apps Chevre chaud poire pochee and Ris de veau croustillant. Chevre chaud is a little cheese pattie with warm cheese it was served on a little bit of salad. Ris de veau is 3 piece of fried calf. If you want to share your app I would go with the Chevre chaud. I thought the portion for Ris de veau was a little small. Right about now I noticed that everyone around us was getting some warm bread with butter. I looked at the menu to try and see if that was something we needed to order as an app. I did not see it on the menu so I assume it's just given as your app while you wait for your dinner. I got the beef tartar as my main dish. You have the option of picking between a garden salad or fries to go with it. I went with the fries. They are served with some mayo, just like I like it. The beef chart was delicious. Portion are good. This might also be an option if you want to share an app. It comes in two sizes, I got the bigger one. For dessert, I picked a crème brûlée with a cheese platter . Crème brûlée comes with a lovely crust , which I honestly enjoyed quite a lot. It is a very thin layer of crème brûlée with a thicker than usual sugar crust. The cheese platter came with three very small piece some bread and a jam. I would believe to be blueberries. I was disappointed by the cheese platter not because the cheese were bad ones but just because it was a three bite done deal. I would've liked a bigger portion to share. Overall, very positive experience.

What a special place this is!!! Located on the Lachine Canal (please correct me if that's…read moreincorrect) this popular local eatery has people lined up for Sunday breakfast. We didn't have to wait long to be seated near the back by an open (but screened-in) area, right by the "window" overlooking the canal. We ordered our coffee and put in order while watching streams of people come and go. There was such a huge selection of fabulous, mouth-watering items on the menu that ranged from crèpes to french toast and sandwiches that it was difficult to choose. I had Le Brise, comprised of french toast, loads of sweet, crispy and fresh fruit in season and custard sauce. Québec Maple syrup was brought to the table, just in case we didn't have enough sweetness. My friend had the scrambled eggs, toast, home fried potatoes & baked beans. The ambience was light and service was quick between servers setting up for a large party behind us and another party in front of us, and the two teenagers beside us who received a lot of attention from the younger server. Next time I'm in town, I will come back, especially since we got to take a walk along the canal over to the beach where some bathers were taking advantage of the glorious weather.

Guiness was excellent (I would hope so in an Irish pub), as was the shot of Jameson. Her Fish and Chips were skimpy, mostly fries. My Burger Tip & Top (actually chicken, not beef) was interesting, but not quite what I was looking for. Again, portion was very small, with lots of fries to fill the plate. Staff was friendly, but with the crowd very slow. I'd come again for a beer, but I'd leave the kitchen alone.

The menu is divided into sections based on diets, such as keto, vegan, etc. I found the l'oncle Keto, meaning uncle keto. It's a variation on eggs Benedict, with lots of meat, and the muffin replaced by slices of tomato and avocado, and it has some brie and Emmental cheese, bacon, and mushrooms. The concept actually works pretty well, and it was a tasty breakfast to start the day. The coffee is good also.

And That's It. Because everything else about L'Ardoise is outstanding. The food is sublime; the service exceeds expectations. I could stop here and just tell you to go; now... you are still here? GO! Nevertheless, I'll get into a little of the details. I wanted to take my girlfriend out for a good meal to celebrate our 6th anniversary, somewhere where we could eat great food, get some drinks and come home satiated and happy... Made reservations for 20:15 but the drive to the restaurant took considerably less time than anticipated - living in Montréal, you kind of expect traffic and construction work to halt your progress - and we got there half an hour early and were seated immediately. Looking at the menu, I was pretty disappointed and let down. I had selected the restaurant through suggestions on Yelp! and Facebook and the pictures let on to a more elaborate menu than what I was looking at. Befuddled, we picked and chose from the menu, until I noticed the huge blackboard above the open kitchen - bonus. Blackboard, translated into French is an Ardoise, hence the name of the restaurant, hence the menu. The server explained that the menu was the Pub part of the menu and the blackboard, the Gastro part of the gastropub menu. DING! DING! DING! The blackboard menu opened up the more elaborate part I mentioned earlier. The Pub menu was still awesome. Sliders, merguez corndogs, duck wings, burgers with foie-gras, Shazam! But the blackboard menu was simply mind-blowing. My girlfriend went for the corn-flake crusted fried shrimp as an entrée, I had the Steamed Pork Buns, and we shared a bowl of duck wings. I cannot eat seafood but they looked amazing. The duck wings were outstanding and by outstanding I mean just as good - but different - from the duck wings I had eaten at La Cabane du Pied de Cochon. The kind of awesome where you want to order a bucket of dem wings. Really that good. Not to fatty, not to dry, sweet. It was sided with a coleslaw I suspect, was made with rice vinegar instead of wine vinegar or "table" vinegar, it made for different kind of slaw and it was perfect. However, the clear Entrée winner was the Steamed Pork Buns. Well GAWWWWWWDAMN. I can't explain properly what an almost out of body experience they gave me. I could have eaten 15 of those and called it a day. The bun a pillow with a slight hint of sweetness and the pork stuffing, well shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, it's indescribable. With an opening volley like that, the follow better be some kind of nuclear detonation. My girlfriend hit the Philly Cheesesteak and boy did that deliver a bang. Now don't get me wrong, Tony Lukes, this was not - but then again nothing is, believe me, I tried. But it's a gastropub-ish take on a Cheesesteak and it was fantastic. Made with skirt steak, well-seasoned peppers and onions served on a flaky bread with cheese. I coulda eaten it all week and never got bored. I was torn between the Duck Confit Fettucine with pesto, and Foie-Gras - the only thing missing was pork belly and the Holy Meat Trifecta was complete - and the Smoke Beef Macreuse with celery rave and speck. So I let the server pick for me. Duck Confit Fettucine with pesto, and Foie-Gras it was and boy did it deliver. However, more sedate in flavor but only in the sense that it wasn't a flavor bomb like that the Pork Buns, the richness taste and softness of texture more than made up for that. The duck confit morsels were enough to make you close your eyes to experience it more, the noodles were perfectly al dente - which can be a rare find in restaurants these days and the Cipollini onions. The only thing negative to say of this plate was that it was a portion. Mind you there was plenty but my inner-glutton wanted more because it was that good but we need room for desert, do we not? Now at this point, I don't think it would get better. It did There were four deserts on the Ardoise. We took three of them. Their take on strawberry shortcake was traditional and visually not innovative but the taste, unequalled. I had the lemon pie. Lemon pie is one of my favorite deserts because, lemons but my expectations in restaurants are usually low. I was so wrong. So very wrong. Lemon custard like no other, whipped cream and meringue, topped with a raspberry coulis and with a sprinkle of matcha (a fine powdered tea). It just made me wanna bang my head on the table. We brown-bagged some doughnuts to go - equally awesome, with a cherry (I think) jam. After all that, we were stuffed like Thanksgiving Turkeys. They also have a better than decent selection of Scotch Whiskey both single malt and blended. Though no Lagavulin - my favorite - and nothing in the 16 year olds. But that's easily forgiven and the Macallans I had were of course perfect. They have some better than d
