text: There are very few restaurants that make me sit back and think about how I should be kinder to chain restaurants when I write reviews And Les Brasseurs was one of the those lucky few While there is not way to avoid chain restaurants all the time I try to support local places So bare with me as I explain to you why I love this place nnI was in Montreal for the weekend visiting friends from Uni I was also there with a friend from Cincinnati taking him on his first Canadian adventure On our first night we were on our own and up to our devices for getting dinner We chose Les Brasseurs mostly because they brewed their own beer I mean as a beer lover that is just heaven for me We got placed at the bar because it was a crowded Friday night The bartender was very attentive and very beautiful She was more then happy to speak English And she pretty much gave us a college level course on their beer selection We went with two liters of the Amber I mean we were planning on drinking might as well go balls to the wall Along with our beer we ordered their Poutine And while I try not to explain food as orgasmic A plate of their poutine maxi is just that orgasmic My friend had the open faced seafood sandwich And I ordered the Quebec Flammekuchen Covered in a local cheesebacon and onion It was so good We became friends with a few of our fellow bar sitters And with the assistant to the bartender he was not a busboy and he was allowed to take orders just not pour them Weird Anyway We kept ordering beer and shots of Sortilege a wonderful maple bourbon that is just amazing Before we knew it it was am And we were very well gone So with a few of our new friends we met at Les we moved to a cheaper drinking hole And the rest of the night is kind of blurry after that But I will always eat here when I am in Montreal Hell until I find a better place This will be my favorite place to eat in Montreal Bring on the flame war
