Restaurant thread....the best place to eat...Where!!!

Kuu Bistro

Went there with Scarlett (her choice) and detour. Awesome! Scarlet kind of scandalized every patron and staff but that was kind of cool

Cheers,

Lived in NYC for 22 years. Tried Schwartz's last time I was in town. Good, not great compared to NYC Katz's, and many others. Part of the experience is the bread, mustard, pickles, and coleslaw which can't be duplicated....

Katz’s rules, but when I see those sandwiches I feel like the people eating them on a regular basis are all heart attack candidates. Schwartz’s does a nice job with smoked meat, but in truth they are a very, very small time operation in comparison to Katz’s.

Hey and talk about the service at katz’s, absolutely wonderful the best of the best. Young nubile females who take your order with a smile and style. A most wonderful place to be served in, lol.

A buddy of mine was in Montreal last week and he raved about an upscale Syrian restaurant in Le Plateau, called Damas. He said the house specialty, or one of them, is called Damas, which is a hummus dip into which is mixed filet mignon. It is an appetizer believe it or not and he said it was quite filling.

[EagerBeaver]

I performed a search on my trusted Yelp app on Ice cream parlors in Montreal sorted by highest ratings.The results:

1. Kem CoBa, 60 Fairmount Avenue O
2. Cremerie Meu Meu 4458 St. Denis
3. Ripples 3880 Boulevard St Laurent

Kem CoBa has the most reviews (which is why they sort ranked #1) and there are some complaints about wait times at Meu Meu. All 3 are rated 4.5 star ice cream parlors per Yelp reviewers.

Go to all 3, do a taste test and post the results!!!

Cheers,

Does any of those places offer gelato ? I'm craving gelato lately (mmmmh, raspberry & lemon gelatos !) and it's hard to find a place that has good gelato.

Very lazy post Jalimon but because of your contributions to the FIFA World Cup thread I am going to reward it:

Top 3 dumpling houses based on Yelp ratings:

1. HAO - 251 Rue Rachel East
2. Mai Xiang Yuan- 1082 Boulevard St Laurent
3. The Dumpling Hut - 3591 Rue Clark

HAO is a Filipino dim sum place and is rated 5 stars. I have been to Mai Xiang Yuan and they are very good. Sammi Soup Dumplings in Chinatown II also very good.

Roberto has gelato at 2221 Belanger near Delormier. Made on the premises.

Bo-bec Julia... 1300 Laurier

Bo-Bec is a wonderful place but they do not have gelato. They have ice cream of the North American variety.

Roberto for years had the best gelato in the city, but no more. You'll find the best...by very far...at FCO on Viger near Square Victoria.

As for the best dumplings in town, Harbin at the corner of Villeneuve and St. Laurent claims that prize.

Poulet rouge @ Rue St Catherine. The volcano chicken with Monterrey jack cheese and jalapeños as extras, highly recommend, will repeat for sure, good after drinking session meal, as always YMMV
