It's getting hot in the kitchen (food appreciation thread)

Worst pasta I've had in Montreal.

There are SO many better italians in Montreal!

Personaly, I don’t go to Italian restaurant to eat pasta, its way too easy and quick to make amazing pasta at home! I don’t see the point of paying that much on something so cheap.

You make your own fresh pasta? Or dry ones? I understand if we're talking about dry pasta.

I eat pasta at restaurants where they make fresh pasta and delicious, decadent sauces that I will probably never make at home.

I'm debating long and hard between Shay and Damas next time I go to Mtl.
Shay's Per Person price for tasting everything is only half of Damas (85 vs 160). Is the vibe at Damas more upscale or is the food that much better?

Imho the food isnt better and i prefer the ambiance at Shay. But that is me.

Who likes the salads at Mandys?

I've been curious but never tried

New York City has better Italian food, pizza & pasta than Montreal, imo.

I've been there, so I'd know!

I discovered Shay last year and I found the experience way more valuable and satisfying than Damas.

I have been to shay as well! For their brunch. The baklava pancake is incredible
