L'Avenue.. 922, avenue du Mont-Royal Est, Plateau
Hmmmm, interesting that rumples likes it here then. But thanks to Special K for suggesting the Steak and Eggs. Not your ordinary Steak and Eggs i might add, it has a spicy flavor that just compliments the eggs benedict and the chateaubriand perfectly. Mmmmm, delicious. (this coming from someone who would never order steak and eggs at 2pm, and really rarely eats breakfast, thanks again SK!) Tried a burger there once, it was a avg burger, nothing great, but breakfast rules at this place. And the other poster was correct when saying the eye candy is actually better than the food, and btw, the food is good, and breakfast is great, but i agree the "scene" is better overall.

I had two won-ton soups & one order of sweet n' sour chicken. Also had a bit of rice. An hour later, i was on the can & spent the night up with some of the worse stomach cramps i've had in my entire life! I don't know how many visits i made to the can during the next 12 hours or so, but thankfully i felt better by game time. The sweet n' sour chicken had huge amounts of sauce, so maybe thats' what did the trick. It's quite possible i may have eaten too much, but usually that's not a problem.
GRILL CITY STEAK HOUSE 500, Boul Henri-Bourasse Est
I found a new high quality restaurant in the Northern part of the town. It may be of interest for those who are hobbying near the motel Ideal Lajeunesse. Actually, that restaurant is at a walking distance from that motel. The exact location is 500, Blvd Henri-Bourassa, just on the corner of Henri-Bourassa and Lajeunesse. For those who know that district it,s the former location of Mike's Submarines (back in the 80's).
Don't worry...the inside of the restaurant is fully renovated and it's very classy. The dominant colors are black, grey and burgundy. Very classy and the service is good. You may be surprised to see a hiogh quality restaurant in that district but if you are old enough (like me!) you'll probably remember that back in the 60's and 80's there was a gastronimical restaurant on Henri-Bourassa: Chez Bardet...fine French cuisine. (It doesn't exist anymore because the owner died and the local was bought by the STCUM when they made a new entrance on Henri-Bourassa North).
I went there twice and I hate a steak and a fish. Both plates were outstanding. Both times I was there it was very quiet (Monday and Tuesday). The first time, a Monday night, I was alone and the were 4 young women at another table. They were all very good looking. The other time I went there, there was only me and a couple (this time again with a stunning girl). The graçon said to me that it,s still very quiet during the week but is full the week ends.
Not a cheap restaurant but if you're ready to indulge yourself in the Northern part of Montreal in a good and classy restaurant it's probably the place to go. Expect to pay over 40$ per person for a meal (without wine).
I've noticed that restaurant for the last 6 months but I wasn't not ready to venture inside.

I'm in full agreement with Rumples and Doc on this place. I have a friend that swears by it but the only thing he orders is General Gao's chicken and you can't really f*ck that up. The place two doors down on the corner of St. Marc called Soupe & Nouilles is far superior in my opinion to Wok Cafe, I've tried Wok twice and both times it's sucked!!
I'm OK with Soup and Nouilles. Not fabulous, but not bad. I imagine that part of Special K's affection for the place is their very generous portions, very reasonable prices and their large and varied menu. While the portions at Roi du Wonton are not as large, nor their menu as varied, the food is of such a high quality that it's the kind of place you'd cross town to visit. They also make the noodles and dumplings fresh to order.
The only reason i wound up eating from Wok Cafe was because i suddenly had a hunger for chinese, and since the Mtl escort community pretty much sucks big time when it comes to chinese or asian sps, i got take-out from Wok Cafe. Do any of the other places mentionned deliver?
I have to admit that im a pho addict!!! love it!!! especially on rainy dull days like today.
*is now having a pho craving* *must order pho NOW!!!*
*is now having a pho craving* *must order pho NOW!!!*
I like the food at Wok Café, some things more than others. The General Tao is as good as most any I've had elsewhere and better than many. The Hot and Sour soup is one of the best I've had for a vegetarian version of it, no shrimp or pork in this one. I've gone there with friends who've eaten the Cantonese Chowmein and said it was great value for the price. Same for the Dim Sum. I'm not a fan of the Szechuan shrimps or the Szechuan chicken because the sauce really isn't to my taste. Like most places, even the dishes marked spicy are far from it and need a healthy squirt of the sriracha sauce that's on every table. The portions are quite generous and I don't remember anyone I went there with complaining that they didn't get their money's worth.
I've tried Soup and Noodles on the corner and will never go back. The General Tao was lacking flavour and many of the pieces were just batter and no chicken. The Hot and Sour soup was lackluster with no kick at all. The last time I was there was after a GT and pretty late and there was about 8 of us. They served us, brought the food to the table and then told us they were closing and kept coming around to see if we were done yet. We all hurried eating our food and it wasn't particularily enjoyable to be rushed out the door. If they were that close to closing, they shouldn't have served us in the first place. I haven't been back there since and have no intention to return.
Back to Wok for a minute just to put things in perspective. If you're expecting L’Ochidee de Chine or Piment Rouge quality and atmosphere, you're in the wrong place. It ain't the same price either. Wok serves up decent food for the price - their specials with soup or springroll are $7.45 to $8.45 and tax is included in the price, a buck more after 3PM. That's less than a burger trio at McDonalds or Harveys, less than a pack of smokes or a beer at your favourite bar. And like any other restaurant, if you don't like what they serve you, you can always talk to the server about it. You can also ask questions about the menu before you order so that you don't end up with something you don't like. And if something isn't to your taste, it doesn't mean it's no good. It just means you don't like it. I don't like caviar but some people spend thousands of dollars on it and I think that Filet Mignon is tasteless and prefer a good New York Strip instead. Everyone has different preferences so I guess the best thing is to try it yourself and make your own decision.

I also like Wok Cafe over Soup and Noodles, but let's face it, both of these places are serving lower tier Chinese food. They cannot compete with Le Orchidee de Chine or Beijing, nor do they seek to. I feel like Wok Cafe is serving decent dim sum combos for a reasonable price, but they are not as good Ruby Rouge, Le Maison Kam Fung or any number of other dim sum specialty restaurants I have been to. To me, Soup and Noodles is serving mediocre food in large portions, but at cheap prices. Their regulars are not exactly sophisticated connoiseurs of fine Chinese cuisine.

I'm a smoked meat fan. I did a search on the thread and I guess no one mentioned it. So far, the two places I've had it are Reuben's (there are two Reuben's, this is the one that you go down a flight for and is further east on St. Catherine's). It's great, and not expensive. I liked the poutin too, but I still am not a complete convert to it, yet.
Another good one, recommended by one of the staff at HDLM is Schwartz's 3895 Saint-Laurent boulevard. You get a pile of smoked meat and a good steak for less than $20.

It`s actually been mentioned in this thread, and in another devoted to smoked meat which is here:

Friday night I went to Dans la Bouche (in Laval on ST. Martin West, corner of Sun Valley). We had our Christmas Office Party there. (Before booking there I asked Yzabelle - my personal reference when it come to good quality restaurants in Laval and she said to me that the place was all right. Thanks Yzabelle) I was quite impressed by the quality of the food that were served and by the overall ambiance of the restaurant.

For starters, the girls serving at the tables are very beautiful. There are dressed with short black dresses - and here I mean really short - and with black boots. I tried grilled squid as apetizers (tapas) and there were exquisite!!!! I had a steak and it was good (I prefer though the Grill City which I mentioned on a former post above) and I give them a good mention for their french fries. We were 20 people and everyone was satisfied.
There was a band playing latin music and you can dance if you want.
I recommend it.

Qing Hua, 1676 rue Lincoln, Montreal QC
This basement level, authentic Chinese dumpling house on Lincoln came highly recommended by johnmbot and others, so I jointly decided with Chercherfemmes (“CCF”), also an Asian dumpling fan and fellow veteran of the New York Chinatown dumpling scene, to give it a try on the first night of our recent trip.
For those of you who are not familiar with what a soup dumpling is, it is a dumpling that is stuffed with both meat and soup broth. Qing Ha is specializing in handmade soup dumplings from a province in southern China whose name escapes me. These dumplings, which are served by your choice either steamed, boiled or fried, are similar to Shanghai style soup dumplings, but they are smaller and do not ooze quite as much broth as their Shanghai counterparts. To eat them properly, you are advised to tear a corner of the dumpling off and “suck the broth out”, before proceeding to dip the dumpling in your choice of dipping sauce. In effect, these dumplings come in your mouth when you eat them. Unfortunately, the dumplings at Qing Ha are not served with large soup dumpling spoons designed to catch the squirting broth, as is the case with Shanghai-style soup dumplings. In addition, these dumplings seemed to tear imperfectly, with the result being that both CCF and I experienced COB (come on body) from these dumplings – CCF had a few dumplings squirt on his shirt, and I had one that squirted a fairly big and sloppy load on my leg.
We ordered steamed pork and shrimp dumplings and lamb and scallion dumplings first, finished them, then ordered fried beef and onion dumplings and chicken and mushroom dumplings. All were tasty, but the dumplings were not segregated from each other on separate plates. Rather, all were served on one platter together, and we had troubling distinguishing between the different dumplings. The pork and shrimp dumplings was the only one that stood out for what it was, while the others were all somewhat similar in taste. The fried dumplings seemed to contain less broth than their steamed counterparts, but I enjoyed both styles.
For dipping sauces, we had soy sauce, some kind of strong black vinegar (not balsamic) and chili garlic sauce, but no sriracha sauce or hoison sauce, which was a mild disappointment. I blended the soy and chili garlic sauces in my dipping dish and, after extracting the soup from each dumpling, dipped it into the hybrid sauce.
CCF and I both sampled the hot and sour soup as well. For my taste it was on the spicy side, but CCF enjoyed it very much while commenting that it had more of an onion taste than most hot and sour soups he had sampled. They seem to be liberally sprinkling fresh chopped green onions into the soup.
One negative is that the men's room has no hot air duct and is not heated, so if you have to crap you will need to let your ass touch an ice cold porcelain toilet seat. I decided to “man up” and do it. I am not sure if johnmbot would have allowed his ass cheeks to touch frozen, icy porcelain, but I decided you gotta do what you gotta do.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience of eating authentic Chinese soup dumplings at Qing Hua. It is different than the Shangahi style soup dumplings I have had in New York City, but I probably enjoyed it just as much.

Bud,
For Japanese I would recommend Mikasa on Peel or Isakaya on Parc, but neither are moderately priced and I don't think you will really find moderate prices unless you want to take her to a food court and get fast food.
For Chinese, I would go with Le Orchidee de Chine on Peel or Beijing in Chinatown on the corner of St. Urbain and de la Gauchietierre. Le Orchidee de Chine is probably better for a date. Beijing tends to be crowded but I like their food a lot.

Beauty's and Dusty's
I am going to review Beauty's and Dusty's in one post together, because both are similar landmark Montreal breakfast diners that have been operating since the 1940s, and they are serving similar food in similar settings, with Dusty's having a larger physical space while Beauty's is apparently smaller and far more popular.
Beauty's, 93 Mont Royal Ouest, Le Plateau, Montreal, QC
Chercherfemmes insisted that when we came to Montreal in July for the Jazz Festival, the best meal he had on our 6 day trip was a breakfast he ate at local favorite Beauty's in Le Plateau, a Montreal landmark that was established in 1942. CCF also insisted I go back with him to experience the food there, as I had not been able to join him when he dined there in July.
Unlike the pretentious and haughty but trendy L'Avenue, Beauty's is a rather ordinary looking establishment that has the ambience of a typical diner, and in fact it probably has more cramped seating than most diners. The food, however, is indeed very good. CCF ordered his favorite dish there, the Challah French Toast, which he let me try. It is dipped in egg and not overcooked, which was a pleasant surprise. One reason I do not usually order French Toast when I eat out is that I find it is usually not prepared moist enough to suit my taste. That was definitely not the case with Beauty's Challah French Toast. However, I did find it to be lacking a bit in spicing, as I like cinnamon and nutmeg mixed in/on my French Toast. I understand that Challah is a naturally sweet bread and the culinary theory behind using it for French Toast may be one of minimalist preparation (meaning only soaking it in a beaten egg and leaving out the milk, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg), but I prefer a bit more sweetness and spice even if Challah bread is used.
I ordered the plain buttermilk pancakes and they were quite good. For pancakes I have eaten in Montreal restaurants, they were certainly above average. And of significant importance, they were served with a generous, if not manly, bottle of maple syrup - which was certainly substantially more than the sissy-sized thimble containing a dollop of syrup that was served with pancakes at L'Avenue, which was barely sufficient to coat the top of half of one pancake. Undoubtedly, the owner of Beauty's is a man who is after Sapman's heart, because the waitress even asked me if we had enough maple syrup even AFTER bringing out this generous bottle. That is called good service!
The bacon served with my pancakes was crispy and tasty, and CCF reported that the sausages he had with his Challah French toast were also quite good. Our coffee was also very good, and the waitress was very attentive to refilling CCF and I as soon as we got low. The service at Beauty's was excellent.
One negative: the orange juice is vastly overpriced at $4 per glass. It is fresh squeezed, apparently, but nothing special and the glass is not particularly large.
On our way out, CCF and I noted a large group of young, English speaking girls, apparently McGill students, who were seated at several tables near the entrance.
Dusty's, 4510 Avenue du Parc, Montreal
Dusty's is a breakfast diner that is very similar to Beauty's and serving a very similar menu, but we found that the food was not quite as good as at Beauty's. Established in 1949, some 7 years after Beauty's opened, we could not help but wonder whether this resto was modeled after Beauty's. They have a larger physical space than Beauty's but the place somehow does not seem as busy on weekends as Beauty's is on a weekday.
I had the pancakes that were distinctly inferior to the pancakes I ordered at Beauty's. I believe they are using the same batter that they use for the crepes (not buttermilk based as at Beauty's) and the resulting pancakes were somewhat stiff and tasteless. Chercherfemmes ordered his favorite, Challah French Toast, which he let me try and while I thought it was actually better than the Challah French Toast at Beauty's, taste wise, CCF felt it was undercooked for his taste. Like Beauty's, we had an ample bottle of maple syrup at our table, therefore no need for Sapman to boycott either of these restos. L'Avenue might be another story.
Overall I feel Dusty's is serving a very average breakfast and I would not go there again. It does not stack up against Beauty's, though the menus of both restaurants are similar.
