The Short Version: Cafe located on the ground floor of an…read moreoffice building. Popular with office workers. Food is delicious and prices are affordable. The Long Version: When I travel, I like to eat where the locals eat. I love those places that cater to the office workers and are only open Mondays through Fridays and are closed in the evenings. The catch is since I no longer live in Montreal, when I'm in Montreal, it's usually on the weekends. However, recently my husband and I were in Montreal on a Monday and Tuesday and we had lunch at Cafe du Parquet. The restaurant is in the CDP Capital Centre (it has since been renamed the Jacques-Parizeau Building, but people who lived somewhere and then left will understand how I forever call things the name they were when I was living there (#SkydomeForever, but that's another story for another time, lol)). Their menu changes daily and apparently on Fridays they have Filet Mignon for under $25. We arrived at 11am and their lunch options weren't quite ready yet, so we walked around Old Montreal a bit and returned at 11:30am. By the time we left a little after noon there was a huge lineup. I got the Salmon ($15.50) and my husband got the General Tao Chicken ($14.50). So the way it works is you order your hot dish from the staff serving it. You tell them whether it's to eat in (will be served on a ceramic plate) or to-go (will be served in a takeout box). For each hot dish, you get 2 sides from the hot table and these you serve yourself. If you're eating in you pay at the cashier at the back (the area that leads to the dine-in seating). If you're taking out, you pay at the cashier at the front, near the entrance/exit to the cafe. If you're eating in, after you're done you put your own tray away in the designated slots in the wall. For my sides, I got Brussels sprouts and vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli). My husband got rice and vegetables. I love that they have free self-serve water. They even have branded glasses. My salmon was delicious. It was perfectly cooked and was a generous portion. The side were also tasty, although a bit heavy on the oil. My husband enjoyed his meal. I tasted some of his General Tao Chicken and while it had zero spiciness, it had a sweet and tangy flavour and was crispy on the outside. The batter wasn't too excessive and the meat was not gristley. I would get this dish for myself. The rice was unremarkable. Service was a bit surly, lol. But food was delicious and prices reasonable, so that's ok. Maybe they were having a bad day. I would love to return to try other items, particularly their Filet Mignon on Fridays.

Café du parquet is located in Caisse des depot et placement Québec. They have an outdoor terrasse…read morethat you can use if you take to go and an interior dining area with real tableware. There's is 2 side at this cafe. There is the cafe with fixed offering, a bit like a convenience store that also sell pizza and such. But there's the lunch and dining area that open at 11h30. This have a different offering each days of the week. I always goes on the Friday, which is filet mignon days! But there's also parmigiana chicken, salmon and another one I forgot. You can take it with full fries, fries and 1 choice or 2 choices from the salade bar behind and soup. The salad bar is 2 table with many different offering like pasta salad, Cesar salad, chickpeas, etc. It costed me 21$ including taxes for the filet mignon, fries, salad and a beer (there's a glass of beer/wine included!). And it's very good. So come early, at 11h45, the line is already getting long and by 12h00, you wait at least 20 minutes in line. It's not because they don't go fast enough but since all steak are cooked on ordering like you want it from blue to well done, it take a minute to cook.

If you hate garlic, then don't come here. However if you…read moredon't, then come here as often as you can, plus this is the place to go for the best sangria in Montreal, hands down! I love Club Espagnol for a variety of reasons, the sangria is one, the live flamenco shows are another, the gentle family atmosphere, the great terrasse out back and lively crowd all make this place work. Oh yes, then there is the food. Tapas of all sorts: shrimp, calamari, octopus, chorizo sausage, all of it served in garlicky, bread-moppable glory. Spanish ham, cheeses, salads, garlic potatoes and mushrooms, soups, and salads. Mains here include rabbit and many variations of paella. While walking by some tables, the paella plates were positively delicious looking, all the saffron-colored rice, huge shrimp, mussels and chunks of sausage and ham all in full view. Prices are also very reasonable. I love the way families are usually here as well as younger couples, and groups of friends, all sharing the same space. I was here last week with a friend for dinner and some small girls were playing behind us when one of their balloons deflated and flew around before landing right in the middle of our table (not on any food) we both burst out laughing and so did the girls, it's the kind of place where stuff like that happens and it's fine. Try to come here at least once in the summer, it's totally worth it.

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 was our first meal in Montreal and we were nervous about not speaking French but it was not a big deal here. The whole place just had a quiet, friendly vibe.

It's definitely enough for two. I think the strawberry rhubarb pie was sent raw? Or maybe just not cooked correctly? I popped it in the oven and it cooked on top but still evidently raw on bottom. The filling still managed to be really tasty.

They serve a unique my motor which is a mixture of cider and orange juice. I had the duck burger for dinner and we came back from brunch where I had their hangover platter which is basically everything. French toast, sausage, bacon, toast, crepes, eggs and ham. The ham is a show stopper. It's so delicious. And the duck burger. Well that was like having a religious experience. For only $15 you get a large portion of smoked duck with mushrooms and cheese on a hamburger bun. It's so juicy and flavourful. I can't do it justice here you just have to try it.

With a small establishment with 1 cook and a small kitchen, it does makes me wonder how could that be possible. Breakfast/Brunch with eggs, bacon, crepes and french toast ($11.99) is disappointing... a lot of food, a lot of carbs... everything is luke warm. It definitely taste like and look like something I made at home. Should I be excited? My Yelp friend's poutine and burger looks depressing... but at least it is specials for $7.95. BTW, I think he kind of like the maple syrup... when he started dipping my whole wheat toast in that... I guess he must still be hungry after he ate his food. At least the waiter is nice, the coffee is good and the hand made scrapbook menu is cute!
