Let me get this…read morestraight: I can find pleasure, full satisfaction and appreciation towards any hidden gems in the city whether it's a $9.00 meal or a $300.00 meal. I don't care if it's at an upscale restaurant or someone's garage. Great food still remains great food. The thing that comes with a ridiculous hefty price is that it comes with a lot of expectations and I'm confident enough to say that some of you may have experienced a hefty bill while leaving with disappointment. We've all been there, and I can certainly relate. The amazing story about L'Entre-Pots is that @mtlpancakequeen was looking to build her database for pancakes and aiming to find the best ones in the city. Opened since 2011, Alexandre Beaudry and his team not only excel in customer service (which we all know, something that I profoundly value) but also care about the sense of family amongst the staff members. L'Entre-Pots offers catering services, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner- I mean pretty much whenever you're hungry. While the weather still allows it, they also have an extended terrace for those who want to enjoy their meal in the sun with a mimosa. While I also have been a guest during their popup and collaboration project, I can only consistently vouch for their brunch menu for at least the handful of time I've been there. Thank you to @mtlpancakequeen for introducing me this place- It had allowed me to showcase L'Entre-Pots talent to other followers and friends while hopefully creating more traffic to local businesses. While there is a ridiculous high demand for avocados for all you avocado basic bitches, I'm sure many of you have noticed the skyrocketing prices of these bad boys. I mean, if you do the groceries. But the price doesn't stop me from ordering the avocado toast at L'Entre-Pots. Served with salmon gravlax, feta cheese, dill yoghurt, and topped with a poached egg? This bad boy right here might be one of my many favourites on their menu.With their weekly specials, L'Entre-Pots is guaranteed to leave you full with their generous portions and excellent customer service. With the power of social media, which gems have you discovered?

My favorite brunch spot in the area. Super nice servers, quick service, great menu. All of their…read morepoached eggs dishes are great, and sometimes they have specials like blueberry pancakes with creme fraiche. I highly recommend the Bene Ole which is a breakfast poutine: poached egg, eggs benedict sauce, potatoes, pickles, bacon. It's huge and VERY tasty. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have smoothies, your usual espresso selection like lattes, mimosas, and more. I highly recommend coming before noon. Around that time the place begins to become packed and it's a small spot. Seating is kind of smushed. I've seen groups of 6 before, 7 or more may be pushing it. They do take reservations I believe so maybe they'll accommodate you. Tip: ask for the orange hot sauce, they make their own and it's great on everything.

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.

Cru oyster bar is located in St-Lambert, and has some awesome dishes to offer!…read more We tried three different kinds of oyster: Kumamoto, Lucky Lime and BlackBerry point. The beef tartare is served on bone marrow, which can be scooped up and serve with the tartare to make it richer and juicier! Lobster cavatelli and black cod are both delicious. And the dessert just knocks it out of the park! The fried banana bread with walnut is soft and chewy, but not too sweet. Just the right amount of flavor and texture.

Went to this bar for the first time with friends on a rainy day so we had thought maybe our…read morereservation would be pushed back since we weren't sure if the bar had a covered terrasse ( which it did ). We were also late and I had called the number and left them a voicemail to advise them & when I got there and mentioned this , the host looked at me weird , which I didn't get why and went to see if they can find us another table since they had given our table away since they thought we were going to be a no show ( since they didn't check the phone msg). We got to our table, the waiter was nice and super helpful for the dinner . We had ordered the edamame and chicken gyoza for appetizers. The edamame had a quick since it had a blend of spices to make this Japanese spice & the gyozas were succulent. Mains : my friends had orders the tofu salad and tartare , and I had ordered the bibimbap. Mine was as expected , delicious & so was the tartare. The only main complaint my friend had was for the the tofu salad as there was barely any tofu in the salad and more of the kale . Drinks : I ordered a regular mojito ( not the one on the menu but the classic), one friend ordered a non alcoholic mojito & the other didn't order anything to drink. She had wanted an ice tea since she was driving and the bar actually had everything but ice tea , which was a first . The reason why it's a 3 star is not solely based on the drink selection, but mainly how we were greeted and dealt with at the beginning. I would definitely go back eventually to try again when it isn't raining

I was unfortunately very underwhelmed by Grenade. My partner and I recently moved nearby, and were…read moreexcited to try what looked to be a flourishing, great establishment. Let's start with the service: Prefaced by saying that it was not very busy at all (4 to 5 other tables). We were taken to a table and left for quite some time. We sat for maybe 10-15 minutes with no water or menu provided. Once we did finally order and receive our cocktails, they were... off. I ordered their Tokyo Kin which tasted like a watered down lemonade and you cannot convince me there was even a drop of alcohol in that glass. My partner ordered their espresso martini dupe, which was very underwhelming as well. Our food was fine, nothing grand. The presentation was lovely, however, $5 for 3 pieces of shrimp was a joke. Small portions, lack of flavor, and extreme prices made for a very unpleasant dining experience. If not an already frustrating experience, we then went to find our server so we could pay and finally leave. Upon walking to the bar we saw them eating and lounging on their phones. This was a very unpleasant experience and the bill being nearly $90 was laughable for what we received. I would recommend looking into other restaurants in the area unless you are wanting to have a terribly underwhelming experience.

This location is newly renovated I believe; the last time we were in the area in 2023 the street…read morewas ripped apart and the intersection was a mess. I don't recall even noticing this place on that trip. This time around, the construction has passed, and the place is easily accessible. It is a nice breakfast spot, with a variety of seating options. Wait staff were attentive and prompt. Overall good service, not too overbearing. 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.

This is a timeless place…read more Pros: 1. The food is always fresh and not just what's on your plate. The menu is always innovative and there's something new. And always excellent. 2. Suffice it to say they're known for their eggs Benedict. Sure there's other stuff on the menu but I've never bothered with anything else. The Benedictine Forestier is my go to (this is unfortunately not available during Covid as this is part of their dine in menu - but hey this is one more thing to look forward to when this is all over) 3. Portions are generous. Thank you! I've never left this place feeling hungry. Cons: 1. Not really a con, but since I started this list I might as well add that sometimes, the wait is too long for dine in. There's only so many places inside. I suppose this is a good thing but can get a bit much when it's -30 out there.
