Speaking of Westmount, there's a great kinda 50s style diner in Westmount called Chez Nick's.
They got good breakfast there and it's very Anglophone there. I feel like I'm in Ontario there lol

Oh how I miss Crudessence! That pesto lasagna and that kale salad that comes with it. Too bad Crudessence closed as during the winter time business was literally non existent as it was some thing more interested by tourists. It was just too ahead of its time. First time I had a lasagna and was full of energy afterwards and not sluggish.
Aux Vivres is another gem. Never was into vegan food until I visited these two establishments. The Dragon Sauce and bacon tempeh. Personally I prefer the Westmount location.

Here are some favourites, though they aren't necessarily in touristy part of town:
- Le Vin Papillon (Little Burgundy)
- Mon Lapin (Little Italy)
- Beba (Verdun)
- Club Chasse et Pêche (Old Montreal)
They're all on the higher end, but very good.

Here is the breakfast you described. I ordered it at BL in August 2016. I was staying in Griffintown at that time, but in a property on the south side of the canal. I took that bridge over the canal and walked up to Notre Dame for this breakfast. Note the thick, fatty bacon. If any of you guys have blockages in your arteries, I do not think this type of dining will help that situation.. But it is hearty.

Nice pic, bro. Looks hearty yes but a ton of calories lol
Btw, this is what I had at Burgundy Lion for lunch, a "ploughman's lunch" - a uk lunch dish
The key elements of the Ploughman's lunch are bread, cheese and pickled onions. I see all 3 of those staples on your plate. This lunch further discussed here:

Best part of that lunch is the beer.
English cuisine for me is very disappointing tasteless and without spices.
I have been to England many times on business and was taken to many expensive restaurants and found the food bland tasteless and mediocre for the most part, the cutlery however was exquisite and top grade silver with countless forks, knives, waiters were dressed as if they were invited to the Queens wedding, the food however sucked.
Best food I ever had in England was when I got lost in Sheffield near the University after visiting a few pubs and stumbled into a family owned Italian restaurant where the owners wife did all the cooking and he had some of his home made wine. Was never able to find that place again memory fades after the fifth pub. The beer however I can say was always top notch in England.
@Fradi exactly my thoughts on British cuisine. If I'm planning a night out for fine dining, typical english gastronomy is the last thing on my mind.
How about the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd? There has been some good music coming out of England.
Bespoke suits, shoes, pub atmoshere, cars, even the casual friday night brawls if its your thing! But not the food.
Oh and, yeah, gotta add the rock bands to the list.
I like many things about England that were mentioned above like their music, beer, their dry sense of humour, the pubs. Football teams, am a huge MU fan from the days of Denis Law. (he was a Scotsman).
London is a gorgeous city with a history and buildings, relics that are wonderful. So are many of the other city’s in England and the country side down to a small church and tiny cemetery where Little John is supposedly buried near Nottingham. ( I have the expensive small tourist arrows with his name on it to prove it)
Their food however is bland, tasteless and totally sucks.

There is an Indian restaurant in downtown Montreal on Stanley Street called Le Taj. I ate there around 10 years ago and it was good. I ordered the Shrimp Saag, which is shrimp served with a creamy, spicy spinach sauce. I also got my personal favorite Indian dish which is onion bhajia. These are onions coated with a spicy chick pea batter, and deep fried. Think of a spicy type of onion rings, although they are usually nuggets and not rings. The onion bhajia is served with two sauces- a tamarind chutney and a cilantro chutney, both of which are great.
