    I've lived 5 minutes away from this place for about 6-7 years and I've only tried it now. HOW? It was great, the prices are fair, the staff is helpful, the vibe is cool, and the food is delicious. I do wish they were bigger portions but it is a snack place. I got the Black bean taco. It was delectable.

    Pulled pork quesidilla in corn tortilla

    Tachido is a Mexican snack bar that serves up the yummiest sandwich on the block! Dishes are fresh, portions are hearty, and the space is bright and welcoming. Even the staff is endearingly friendly and proud to share their establishment with clients. They offer "torta" (hot sandwich) with generous fillings of avocado, fried onion, tomato, and cheese with your choice of options like pulled pork or chipotle chicken, served in buckwheat bread or in their homemade, gluten-free, panini-like bread. The corn-tortillas for the quesidillas are made in-house, as are the delectable "almond cookies" which I suggest you chomp after your meal! For a fresh meal under $10, Tachido is my new lunch spot on Parc Ave. I've only been for lunch so I wouldn't know about drinks at Tachido other than what's on their menu: specialty drinks including "agua fresca des dia" in different flavors every day - when I dropped by it was 'watermelon'. YUM. They also offer Mexican beer and sangria, and hibiscus Margaritas.

    Gluten free bread sandwich and beans
    Magdalena O.

    Stumbled upon this place after searching for gluten-free in Montréal (often a fruitless search) and was luckily nearby with a friend to give it a shot. They have just opened less than two months ago, and it's the owner's first resto venture. Him and his father, who is the baker, were very friendly and talked to me about the resto. The owner's sister and some of her friends are gluten-free and told him that he has to make an option for them. What did he do? Put his dad to work and create a delicious and chewy gluten free version of their own home made panini-style bread, that includes cheese inside. The main ingredient of the gf-flour is yuca. Onto the sandwiches: I ordered the Chipotle Chicken on gluten free bread & the side beans & watermelon lemonade. It also came with a hot sauce type dip. The owner also brought us pickled peppers to try. The sandwich was delicious and full of stuff inside, which I am still thinking about days later. Like, I cannot stop thinking about it. I wish I lived closer! The beans were too watery and over salted. The watermelon lemonade tasted too fake. The two latter sides are what gives this place a 4 and not a 5. My friend had the pulled pork on regular bread and he was swooning. We were both pleasantly stuffed after the meal. My friend mentioned that often he goes to these types of places and is never full. I will definitely be back many times over, especially at the affordable student pricing. The decor is inviting and very clean. Go!

    I've been here twice in less than 24 hours and I don't even feel guilty. This place makes the best tinga de pollo torta I've ever tasted. Admittedly, it's the only one I've ever tasted, but I'd like to see anybody try to make one better. Their guacamole is exceptional and the tostadas are magnificent. The cherry on top is the service. Great people, very quick and all around good vibes.

    It used to be amazing, and their ham and pineapple sandwiches still are. But they recently doubled the size of their room, as well as their menu length. I don't get why they felt the need to add so many new dishes that all look like slight variation on existing stuff. Worst of all, it dramatically lowered the average quality of their offering. The taco chido is basically cheap over cooked rice with dry bits of beef, served on two tortillas. Though it sounds like an end of month broke student meal, I'm sure a talentless millennial could much better with some fridge leftovers and an access to YouTube. Pains me to say this because this used to be my go to Mexican joint.

    The Sincronizada was very drab and disappointing. For the same price, La Tamalera Serve a much more robust version of this fabulous dish.

    Fresh bread and eccentric decor. The tortas are amazing and filling. Especially paired with a refreshing and tasty michelada. Authentic tacos and all reasonably priced.

    Tinga de pollo torta- poulet au chipotle, creme sure, et fromage feta
    Kathleen D.

    I came to Montreal visiting from NJ and just passed by this place and it seemed interesting from the outside. This small Mexican place had the best torta I have ever had in my life. The tinga de pollo torta is delicious. I wish it were a little cheaper but the quality and taste is magnificent. The restaurant setting is filled with interesting toys and a vintage feel so it is a nice place for a hangout.

I don't have a gluten allergy, but my travel companion does, and we ended up coming here every morning during our stay in Montréal.

We also tried a few other pastries like the chocolatine and danishes, which were just as delicious. They sell their pastries frozen as well, and I bought half a dozen croissants to bring back home. The family who runs Parc sans Gluten was warm and welcoming each time we visited. This place is a true gem and whether you're gluten-free or not, it's worth a stop.

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!

While we were there, we got the oysters, the bourgots, THE 12 INCH HOTDOG, and a caramel-y pasta dish. I also got a glass of white. The food was FANTASTIC. I also saw someone order a whole boat of oysters and temporarily felt envy, to which my friend said there's literally 2 of us. No way we can eat a small boat's worth of oysters. I really liked the vibe of this restaurant. Staff are bilingual, which always makes things easier when you're traveling. It's also opened late.

No Michigan sauce (yes, they call it Michigan sauce), no smoked meat, or any of the other add-ons that have become trendy over the years. Poutineville offers both. In addition to a menu of poutine choices: mac and cheese, General Tao, Philly steak, Hat Trick, and Stroganoff, you can also build your own, where you select different fries (regular, julienne, sweet potato), cheeses (curds, mozzarella, cheddar, and Swiss), gravies (regular, red wine, butter, maple, cream, etc), and toppings (egg, hot dog, corn dog, gyro, smoked meat, etc). I had considered the Hat Trick, which included bacon, hot dogs, and ground beef, but in the end, I stuck with the classic, but added extra cheese curds. I loved the crunchy and tender fries. However, I would have preferred a bolder sauce and melted cheese curds. IMO, the best poutines have cheese layered so there is a cheese pull, like in a good French onion soup, a mozzarella stick, or pizza. My sister's Stroganoff poutine was interesting and included thinly sliced steak, mushrooms, onions, two types of cheese, and a cream sauce. We both ordered the smaller size, but I was just not able to finish - so be sure to bring your appetite. We both liked our server, who ably tended to all the tables. On the day of our visit, there were large groups of friends and family, all happily sampling the variety of poutines.

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.

I took my niece from New York City here because La Banquise is supposed to be the "must try" poutine spot in Montreal. We had a great night overall: soccer game, drinks at Mellon Brasserie (none of us were drunk; my wife was 100% sober). Everything was fun and chill. But La Banquise completely ruined the end of that trip, and I'm not okay with letting this go. We paid for the food and service. But it doesn't matter if you pay $1 or $100: at the end of the day, we were customers, and we deserved to be treated with respect. We waited for our Uber outside. It was cold, and I'm on crutches, so my injuries hurt badly in the cold. After waiting outside for a long time with the Uber not showing up, we went back inside to wait near the door, in the corner, not blocking anyone. The staff at the door immediately came in and started rudely and aggressively kicking us out. He refused to speak English with me after I clearly said, "I don't speak French, so talk to me in English." He kept talking French and was rude to my wife, my niece, and me. He told the waitress in French that we were "blocking the way," which was 100% false. (My wife speaks French) We were just standing near the entrance, waiting for a few minutes, trying to get out of the cold. When I went to the cashier and explained, "This guy is kicking me out. I just paid for my meal. But it doesn't matter if you pay $1 or $100: you're still a customer, and you shouldn't be kicked out and treated like trash just because you're waiting for your Uber on crutches. I'm on crutches, it's cold, and my Uber isn't here yet," they called a waitress who also started telling us to leave instead of helping. She didn't try to find a solution; she just said, "No, no, leave, leave." This is not just bad service. This is disgusting, disrespectful treatment of a paying customer with a mobility issue. My niece, who had a blast all night, ended the trip saying, "What the f....? You bring me here and they treat us like this?" She now has a bad impression of Montreal because of this place. My niece is from New York City, and she's also posting her own review. That review will be seen by people in New York and by tourists looking for recommendations. If you treat tourists like this, you're not just ruining one night, you're ruining the image of the whole city. Montreal is supposed to be a welcoming city for tourists and people looking to have fun and be treated with respect. La Banquise failed that completely. The food was okay, but the experience was terrible because of how we were treated. This is unacceptable. You should be ashamed of how you handled this.
