Was that eggplant salad made with cooked or marinated eggplants? I have found that raw eggplant needs to be salted before cooking or marination due to the copious quantity of water that it holds. Salting it draws the water out and dehydrates the eggplant meat.

It was marinated then cooked i believe ...it was not mushy or anything...i don't know much about cooking especially eggplant but you will enjoy it..it was a burst of flavor with every bite.
The 3 burgers places I mentionned are all very cheap, Doc. I'm always sad to see 15/25yo always go to Mc Donalds when they want burgers. For almost the same price they can eat 100000times better burgers...
Burgers are the only meals I found better in North America than in Europe (if we can call them meals). You also have some very good Steakhouses in here.
For the rest, I mainly prefer waiting to be back in Europe, nevertheless here are my favorite restaurants in Montreal :
- La Chronique
- Europea
- Toqué
- Le Van Horne
- XO
- Bistrot Cocagne

But i wanted to know what is your favorite restaurant for a sexy rendez-vous..
D'Emma in Old Montreal.
I am looking for nice, sensual restaurant... I was thinking about Atame : aphrodisiac restaurant.. But i wanted to know what is your favorite restaurant for a sexy rendez-vous..
There is a place : O noir restaurant where you eat in the dark without seeing anything. It can be very sensual and even more......
I have been at the Quartier Latin this afternnon. This french bistrot still exists. It is called La Brioche Lyonnaise. More reviews on Yelp.
La Brioche Lyonnaise
I've had brunch there several times (also stayed at Relais Lyonnaise). Very good proper French omelette - folded flat, moist (butter), good filling.

Ha ha, I've taken a few SP's there for dinner. At first they wanted to dress down. I told them it was kinda trendy. Convinced them to go in semi-see-thru top and no bra, LOL. The male patrons and staff were quite please. PS the gals are exhibitionists - no problem wearing short shorts or showing full cleavage

OMG you bring back memories! My ex introduced me to Pacini in Quebec City and making your own "toast" (which was a wonderful thick soft and chewy Italian bread i do believe) as you call it, is the highlight of going there. With the flavored butter spreads and grilling them to perfection yourself is a treat. Their food was always pricey if you did not take one of their specials but was always excellent. Maybe the chef was in a bad mood at the one you ate at Panthere. Thanks for reminding me about Pacini, i MUST go to one in Montreal or wait til I am back in Quebec City later this fall.
i went to PACINI IN ST JEROME THIS SATURDAY...damn i am piss
u've both got to be joking, pacini? suoppose mcdo is your preferred burger restaurant
Aspen, I enjoy pho. I have yet to try pho in Montreal. You mentioned a couple places both near Cote des neiges: Pho Lien (****), and Nygyen Phi.Its really difficult for people from montreal to agree which is the best pho in town. I eat pho 3-4 times a week. Being part asian is what happen most of the time.
Enjoy!
Anything in downtown? I've passes by a couple places in Guy-Concordia area (like Pho Nguyen) and Chinatown.
Hey PoolGuy, sounds like you don't thing much of PACINI, LOL.
Great thing about places being reviewed in this thread:
* chain with 100+ locations
* diner / dive / hole-in-the-wall
* mom/pop shop, thats been around since, forever
* well reviewed resto
* new trendy place
* high end place (actually, I am still waiting for review of Europea)
* true new, never been heard before, can't-go-wrong place (actually, I am still waiting for review of one of these)
Something for everyone, really.
In chinatown, Pho Bac is my usual pho in Chinatown! But if you are into Ramen aswell try Misoya ramen, its a chain more american, the only one located in montreal is next to concordia, hall building! Its to die for. But be careful to not add too much extras... I do, extra egg, nori, 3 slices of pork, corn ans spicy. And you end up with a 20$ ramen. But its worth every penny!!
And about europea, I havent been im ages, in the time my uncle used to own Bis, restaurant just next to it. Great Restaurant. Probably the best of all restaurant in the block.
Misoya is located on Bishop just up from Maisonneuve. I ate here twice on my last trip and yes, it is worth every penny and delicious but the sodium content is outrageous!

Pho Cali, St. Laurent (Chinatown)
Chercherfemmes and I were scrambling to find a quick dinner before GGSex party Friday night and we stumbled into a very good find.
We set out to find a good Pho restaurant in Chinatown. CCF had eaten at Pho Bang New York and wanted to try a new place. Normally CCF and I do a lot of research before eating out, but this time we decided to wing it and take one for the team. We took a total stab in the dark with Pho Cali and hit pay dirt.
This place has really good Pho and unlike a lot of the other Montreal Pho purveyors who are using those big wide noodles, Pho Cali is using a very thin vermicelli noodle in their soup. And the broth is delicious. CCF and I both ordered the Pho Tai, which is basically a Pho with raw shaved steak which is then allowed to cook in the broth. The soup had a nice rich flavor and did not need any enhancements. A really good find in Chinatown.

Decarie Hot Dog
I had heard a lot about this little place, so i decided to check this place out since i was in the mood for a good steamed hot dog. It's about a 5-10 minute drive from downtown & located on Decarie boulevard, i believe in Ville St-Laurent.
Initially i was going to have the hot dog trio. However, i changed my mind & decided to have a burger, hot dog, fries & a Coke. The hot dog was great! I ate it in 30 seconds! The burger was okay & the fries very good. They were homemade fries.
The best part for this culinary delight was the total price: $7.30. Incredible!
I highly recommend this place if your a thrifty hobbyist wanting to take out a lady for lunch or dinner and make a good impression on her.
