text: Well the plan was to have our getaway day lunch at LAvenue but as seems usual with that place the line was out the door and we just did not have time to wait So we ventured directly across the street to this friendly looking bistro with a nice streetside patio area and were pleasantly suprised at the food portions and service Actually those portions were quite huge which made the prices quite reasonable Plus Boreale draft pints were on special for which is just stellar Hey is it me or does everyone in Montreal seem to like to have a beer or wine or two with lunch It is sort of like Europe and I am totally down with that Anyway this is a safe bet sort of place
