Doc, if you're traveling on a low budget you might try Father Emmett Johns' van: the soup is really exquisite! It costs only 3 bucks!!!!! :rolleyes:

If you want a great chicken noodle soup & don't want to pay a small fortune for it, try the one at Reuben's. It's absolutely fantastic & i always order two bowls. I also like St-Hubert's chicken noodle soup, but it's still not as good as Reuben's.

Doc - Chez Cora is still there on the opposite end of the property.

Thanks. I was there a few days ago & i never noticed the other restaurant.

p.s. I'd review 'Chez Cora', which happens to be my favorite place to have breakfast at, but i believe i already reviewed it some time ago. In case i didn't include it, i always order the 'Chez Cora Special'. Just absolutely yummy! :thumb:

Methinks the moderators are taking themselves waaaay to seriously these days. My dear Brothers 8 and 11, you both need to take some chill pills. And not just here, Mod 11's "Quote Nazi" routine is way over the top. Have you considered bowling in your spare time? Croquet? Petanque? Hobbies are wonderful things for people with too much time on their hands.

As one who writes for a living, I must say that I quite appreciate Doc's contributions in this thread. He's not only a good writer, but he also exhibits a strong wit. Keep up the good work, Doc.

At cleo's
THE KEG, 5 Place Ville-Marie

I recently had a 3 hr date with the always lovely Miss Samantha aka Samy. I almost always eat before my dates begin but on this particular day i decided to wait until after my date as i had a few to many the night before. About part way thru my date i decided on the spur of the moment to go to the keg afterwards so i decided to ask Samy if she wanted to join me never thinking she would with no notice but much to my surprise she very graciously accepted my offer.

When we arrived at the keg we decided to go to the outdoor terrace and as soon as we walked in and turned to our left and went towards the bar area the first person that i seen was SL having a drink with someone i did not know. This stranger was none other then Doc Holliday. Over the years Doc and i have exchanged many pm's so it was nice to be able to put a face to the handle and he was indeed the gentleman that he always appeared to be on the boards. I have gotten together with SL several times over the years and it was nice bumping into him and getting caught up once again. Like Doc said, Samy knew both him and SL and she greeted them both with hugs.

We joined them at the bar for a few drinks and then we decided we would join them for dinner. Doc in his post described what everybody ordered so i will not repeat that but i will add that i have been going to the keg for sometime now and it is my favorite restaurant in montreal. Great food at mid range prices, i have never had a bad meal there. There is always a lot of eye candy at the keg and this night was no exception. There is always some hot waitresses there, with lots of hot ladies there eating or drinking and the lady at our table certainly added to the overall scenery.

The drinks were flowing and it is safe to say the everyone had a great time. We ended the night with a round of shooters and Like Doc, myself and SL had not had a shooter in years, it is not my thing but how could we refuse. It went down surprisingly smooth. In closing it was a great night, good food with lots of drinks and great company. It is a night i would repeat anytime.

Very good review, JJ. Indeed, on one of the nights i stopped by The Keg, i had the pleasure to bump into you, Samy & Slick Licker. Samy never looked better, and it was great finally putting a face to the handle.

One negative about that evening was the seating. Slick Licker & I were assigned a cushioned bench to sit on. The cushions were way too soft & a bit too low from the table. Not only were the seats uncomfortable for this cowboy who's had several back surgeries, but at times i felt like a kid at the dinner table since the seating made it that the guests opposite the table who were sitting on chairs were considerably higher than the poor saps sitting on the bench side of the table. We had to pile cushions one on top of the other to compensate. The following time, we made certain that we were sitting either at the bar or on a chair if we chose to sit at a table.

I'd like to add that the bread being given with the food ordered was very good. I usually don't eat bread, but the temptation was too much & i had to indulge.

Jeff, you forgot to add the part where we all stopped by the reputable stripclub known as Cleo's on the way to our respective destinations for another round of drinks & some great eye-candy. Oh, what a night it was! :eyebrows:

Once dinner over, we were sent a round of tequila shots, and we all got up, toasted one another to quite an evening we had, and drank the tequila, something i hadn't done in ages. To my surprise, it went down quite well, as opposed to the last time someone got me to drink a shot of Jameson's.

That wasn't your last shot was it Doc??? Lol. An old gunslinger like yourself shouldn't have any problems putting down a smooth irish whiskey like Jameson! ;-)

Doc,

My apologies for neglecting to mention cleo's. I guess i was mesmerized by the beauty of the cleo dancers and i was lost for words. If you stop and think about it, what a sin it is that cleo's doesn't serve food like some other strip clubs. I can't think of anything more appetizing then having a few beers with a meal surrounded by the scantily clad beauties at cleo's. Now that is real food for thought:)

Yeah, i was referring to THAT shot. I still sometimes gag when i tell people about that infamous shot of Jameson's that i took one faithful night at O'Reagan's, the same night i attended my last GT. My god it stung!!!! :eek:

Maybe that's why the tequila i had at The Keg (with no lemon!) didn't hit me as much as i thought it would.

p.s. Recently i was eating at one of the food courts (see my reviews) and i'm certain i saw your lady friend (non-sp) walk into one of the stores nearby. I'm referring to the one that was in attendance the night i had my last shot (ever!) of Jameson's. Not the two girls who dropped by & sat with us at O'Reagan's one night & wanted to take us home with them. Nor that blonde hottie from Dallas who showed me her boobs! ;)

No problem. However, the next time we're in town together, you have to keep your promise of meeting me for a few drinks at our favorite stripclub (Cleo's). This time, it's my turn to get the first round. And if i'm in a generous mood, i'll even buy you a dance! I can't wait!! :D

How i do it? By budgeting my trip(s). Yes, this means that i regularly use so-called fastfood joints in order to get my body going.

It's not always junk food when you're careful about what you eat. There is usually a fairly good variety of salads to chose from,...

For the needy lowest budget customer needing to guard against the risky weight issues of greasy burgers and fries loaded with saturated fat, without the over-priced salads typical at such joints, why not break the habit and try The People's Potato http://peoplespotato.blogspot.com/, very cheap and healthy. I've never been but after a quick google search to help it seems very suitable for your priorities and class of tourist. Maybe you could bring your own broccoli and/or cauliflower from food banks to substitute for the calorie-filled potatoes.

if you did this to get attention of a Mod, which is what this clearly is, please start your own thread . maybe you can call it : `Click here to waste 3 minutes of your life reading my useless posts`

I really enjoy this thread when new restaurants are mentionned and you're just cluttering it up with nonsense...

Just my 2 cents

You're kidding. ;)

When I first met the always generous Lilly Lombard she showed me to a place I believe was called Cites d'Asie on rue Drummond in L'hotel Europa where there was a great selection of Asian dishes including some fabulous sushi for a decent price. Yes, I found a website.

http://www.go-montreal.com/reviews_CiteAsie.htm

Famous amongst Montrealers and out-of-town guests for its all-you-can-eat menu at $22.95, Cites d’Asie offers a wide selection of dishes from Peking, Shanghai, Hong-Kong, Tokyo, and Bangkok. Guests are invited to sample many of the signature dishes designed from top chefs of Asia. Our waiter suggested that we order a few at a time as the portions are very different from one plate to another and often prepared for the amount of people at the table. Each dish has its own unique flavour and the chef is happy to make any dish Mild or Spicy as well.

My guest and I chose as appetizers, Sesame Shrimp Toast, Tom Yam Gai Soup, Peanut Butter Dumplings, and a plate of Chicken Satay which came lightly spiced with a thick peanut sauce to dip into. Cites d”Asie has a small intimate sushi bar where Sonny Chow, the owner and sushi chef, prepared our next dish of Rainbow Maki. Our main dishes of Korean Style Beef, two Kinds of Mushrooms and Snow peas, Basil Shrimp Thai style, and the General Tao’s Chicken were our final and wonderfully delicious dishes that we accompanied with a hot carafe of sake. Desserts are offered to complete the meal, with fortune cookies and soothing Chinese tea.

The restaurant, which was full with tourists and business people, comfortably accommodated the many large and small parties. There is also a separate section off the main dining room where you can host all types of occasions. Cites d’Asie is opened for lunch from Monday to Friday from 11:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. and offers both an a la carte and combination choice menu. The all you can eat menu is offered during the evening sittings only and reservations are recommended.

In the mood for Chinese, Thai, Korean or Japanese cuisine? Cites d’Asie, an Asian experience all under one roof.


Cheers,

Merlot

Some years ago, I went to La Menara, near Place Jacques-Cartier. Don't remember much about the food (some lamb meat on the bone), but they had a really good belly-dancer show. I don't see why we would want to eat anywhere else. :nod: Not just a half-assed stripper dressed up as Jinny, but a real dancer. She could do things with her hips that had me drooling in my couscous.

It's a bit pricy. Maybe Doc would know a good falafel peep-show joint? :D

Merlot,

Cites d'Asie is the location that now houses Serge Henri that recently opened a couple of weeks ago.

Hello SR,

I had some doubts that Cites d'Asie was still open after driving by, but I never had a chance to have a good look due to paying attention to street traffic. I did look on Google to find something on Serge Henri and all it shows is job openings; no information of accommodations, menus, or anything though everything for Cites d'Asie is still showing it's open. However, I have taken off my last post in this thread since there is some doubt.

La Caverne Grecque,
105 Rue Prince-Arthur E
Montreal, QC H2X 1B6

What I like is the location, the atmosphere, and the food. The best part of dining on rue Prince Arthur between rue St. Laurent and rue Laval is there is no car traffic on the street at all. There is no car noise and no fumes so you can completely relax on one of the many outdoor dining areas under the awnings or go inside places like La Caverne where accommodations vary from intimate tables to large areas that are often reserved for special parties or celebrations, or go on the terrace. Of course you can bring your own wine, which the waiters are ready to keep chilled, and enjoy some authentic greek food. The area is basically a park unto itself, which also has some nightclubs popular with the students from McGill University housed nearby.

La Casa Grecque on the corner next to Parc St. Louis is very popular. It has the same accommodations as as La Caverne, but the food is more generic though the owners are also Greek.

Some of my favorites at La Casa Grecque:

Filet de poulet grillé et langoustines (ou Crevettes), filet de saumon grillé, filets médaillon grillées enrobées de bacon et de crevettes papillon grillées.

One Review of Caverne Grecque:

Look down Prince Arthur street and you'll wonder when did France have time to invade Greece, the hybrid to move to Quebec and America to deprive it of character. Not one Greek name in sight.

Scratch the surface and a different picture emerges. See the fullness of Caverne Greque and contrast it with the emptiness of Cabane Greque just opposite. Says it all.

Caverne managed to keep the Greek flavor, though the character is watered down. Pity, though the other extreme of Greek restaurant with plenty of Hellenic paraphernalia and blaring bouzouki and nisiotiko isn't everyone's idea of a good night.

BYOB, no corkage and a delicious selection for table d'hote and excellently priced a la carte menu. I've had their moussaka, souvlaki and lamb chop table d'hote and can attest to their deliciousness. The Caverne steak really surprised me with its portion: it was very generous and cooked to perfection.

Thursdays to Saturdays I really recommend reserving for dinner. Once in a group of 8 they found us a table by pure sheer miracle.

This is an excellent spot to keep in your books. It is conveniently located, excellently priced and is blessed with very efficient staff.


Some of my favorites at La Caverne Grecque:

Chicken souvlaki platter, Home Made Moussaka, Sirloin steak 10 oz. with baked lobster tails.

Regards,

Merlot

Charcos Rotisserie (Portuguese Style Chicken)
2005 Bishop
Montreal, H3G 2G2

This resto is on the corner of Bishop and DeMaisonneuve next to Concordia. This is a small place where you place your order on one end and receive and pay on the other end of the counter food court style in a resto setting. Inside of the restaurant is nice with nice wooden chairs and floors, smell of charcol in the air. The kitchen is basically behide the counter with brand new fryers, pressure fryer, grill, and charcol rotisserie grill.

I obviously went for the half chicken meal with my choice of coleslaw and french fries. The portion of the half chicken was small and dry, coleslaw was homade and good, fries were good but extremely over seasonned. Chicken was dosed with a homemade spicy sauce with garlic, spices, and sambal with the prodominent taste being of sambal which is more asian than portuguese.

Overall, Romados this place is not. Good try but after 2 visits I've decided that there won't be a 3rd visit. Service is really bad here as a customer was waiting to be served only to have both guys behind the counter basically ignore him and one of the guys was the boss. The customer did the right thing and left, while lucky for me I was served already but the boss did ignore me at the cash in my attempts to pay for my meal. Basically, they have to work on their customer service, find a way not to overcook the chicken, and redo their sauce recipe so it taste more portuguese.

Gibby's, 298 Place d'Youville, Old Montreal

It's been a few years since I dined at Gibby's in Old Montreal but I ate there Friday night and enjoyed a very good meal as I always have in the past.

There was not an empty table in the place when I arrived. As usual, complimentary Montreal-style dill pickles and bacon bits were on our table and soon thereafter the waitress brought some very fresh tasting bread. I then had the house salad (which came with my entree). It is an ordinary looking salad, but what makes it extraordinary is Gibby's house dressing which is one of the best vinaigrette dressings I have ever tasted. For my entree, I got three 4 ounce Canadian lobster tails, which were served grilled and split in two with lemon and a garlic herb butter dipping sauce on the side. The lobster tails sat on top of a mound of rice pilaf and on the side I got my choice of potato: the twice baked Monte Carlo stuffed potato, which was YUMMY.

The only misfire was the dessert. I ordered the Hot Apple Croute, served with a scoop of ice cream and hot caramel sauce. I was expecting more of a pie or apple crisp type crust but it was actually like a puff pastry shell into which they loaded up some apples and sauce. The waitress said it is all house made - the pastry and the ice cream. It was not bad, I just prefer the pie crust or a crisp to a pastry shell.

Where I belong.
Blackstrap BBQ, 4436 Wellington, Verdun

To die for. It melt's in your mouth. Words defy me.

I ate at this brand new place, some 9 KM from my home and well worth the trip, for the second time in less than a week. First it was the mouth-watering brisket sandwich. Then, last night with friend, the pulled pork, the ribs, and the chicken.

The meat just falls off the bone, the St. Louis style dry rub is about the tastiest thing I've ever eaten.

A word of caution. They smoke everyday and, as such, their quantities are limited. Last night, they were out of both the turkey and the brisket. They tell me that they usually run out of ribs by 7:00, though we managed to score well after 8:00.

For out-of-towners, it's only a couple of KM from Atwater Market. And just a couple of hundred metres from the De l'Eglise Metro.
