Pepe (even though they're a chain now) > Sally's
The only Pepe's location that serves the real deal is on Wooster Street. The satellite locations are serving garbage. Sally's also has developed satellite locations. I am not convinced there are demonstrable quality differences between Sally's, Pepe's, and Modern (in their original stores in New Haven). Each one has its own niche. With Pepe's it's the white clam pie and with Sally's it's their fresh tomato pie. They should not be judged by the lesser quality of their satellite stores. Every person I have spoken to says the pizza tastes different at the satellite locations so I have avoided them.

Using the word "chain" here is wrong and somewhat insulting. We are not talking about Pizza Hut or Domino's. These places operated highly successfully on Wooster Street for 80 years in one location before caving in to market demand for their product.

looks like Sally’s is temp closed until mid- late Feb
For maintenance. Discussed here, as well as their satellite locations which are open, but I wouldn't go to them:
Sally's adapted to Covid better than the other 2 places as they owned sufficient land on which to build a tented outdoor area. Pepe's has the Spot, but not enough real estate to build an outdoor seating area. There is precious little real estate to be developed in that Wooster Street area.

I don't know if you can call it comfort food but pho definitely makes me feel comfortable.

Best place in Montreal for Pho is Pho Bang New York. Although Pho is somewhat fungible.
Every time I have been to this place I have seen hot Asian women. If you want to impress hot Asian women with your culinary taste, dine here. Pho is a great conversation starter, so if the girl is at your same long table and alone, ask her how her Pho is.

I would say the best place is: home. I’ve learned how to cook it, the home version. Which beats any restaurant any day. And yes, Pho is on top of my list for comfort food.

That's funny. a Vietnamese restaurant touting its NYC origins?

But that's exactly it. The Montreal one must be an extension of the one in NYC's Chinatown, even the logos are the same:

Mott Street is also home to my favorite dim sum restaurant in NYC Chinatown- Ping's. Their seafood dim sum is the best in the city. They specialize in Hong Kong cuisine and dim sum and are my go to dim sum purveyor, although they are more expensive and more limited in their dim sum selections than other Chinatown dim sum purveyors:
They do serve their dim sum authentically in carts rather than a la carte. Also somewhat authentically, the carts are pushed around by middle aged Chinese women who speak little or else no English, so you have to aggressively point and use non verbal communication lest you be given something you do not want.

If you're into burger diners, check out "Dillalo Burger", it's a burger diner style restaurant in Ville Emard just off Monk Metro.

I took a pic View attachment 43415

Incidentally I hit their branch location of this Italian burger place over at Jean Talon E. and Papineau. Did a double burger. Found it fully cooked through overly like any mass chain burger would be. I had grilled onions added which helped. I love how they offer how your bun is prepped... plain (never) steamed, grilled or with meat juiices. wow.

I'd advise for steamed or with meat juices (for anyone's burger) that's how a burger ought to be so the bun melds into the meat and cheese (hate the want of new age burger places stacking the burger two miles high for the vertical wow affect which is useless since the bun is dry and puffy).

The double patty, needed more seasoning, in particular it would be a shake of salt to bring out more of the beef flavor. The patty was the same color on the outside and the inside, just gray. The texture of the meat was really smooth, not packed too tight.

I say all this because I hit the Greenspot yesterday.

I also decided to try their Poutine as well. I took a classic and added extra cheese option and grilled onions, they weren't browned onions, just lightly cooked so still white rings.

Now to Greenspot. Which is more than just a burger place. This place was packed with patrons. The waitresses work hard here. Situated on the awesome intersection of Greene and Notre Dame, with lol McD and a third burger place, I thought boy this place must be good...

I ordered two burgers. Man, if it wasn't holding all dressed w/ their brined coleslow... it'd be hard to swallow. The patty, though a tad more flavor than Dilallo, darkened on the outside and gray on the inner and salted a bit better, it also was more than cooked through, it was beyond. The meat was tight and dry, like a hockey puck and had more gristle bits to the chew. The meat was smaller than the bun (unlike Dilallo). My second burger on the order was the same, tight dry patty.

Fries were sharp potato roasted aroma, rustic.

I could not help but notice from afar, 1 of the busy waitresses, tall, long neck, very skinny cropped hair brunette. Beautiful pale complexion with cheekbones running back to her ears. She knows the deal, she heavily accented them with some pink blush.

This place is not very far from one of the agency incalls.

Greenspot is a good spot. I like their food and they got a big menu. Not too expensive either.

Instant ramen (doll noodle) with left overs from the fridge topped with a fried egg.
Hot chicken sandwich is good but hard to find delivery for it.

When I am in Montreal, poutine. I eat poutine several times every trip. Especially good at 2AM. And I always have to have it because I can't find poutine anywhere else ha

Usually on UberEats, the only poutine place open late at night is Poutineville. La Belle Province
Isn't La Banquise open 24hrs?
