text: This is like the equivalent of a TGI Fridays for mebut its old town location gives it a lot more character than a Chilis would have in the States I came here on my first night in MTL and ordered their Light Blonde beer a regular poutine and a smoked meat Flamm a very thin crust pizza with a cream sauce The place was packed for a hockey game despite this we grabbed a table right away and a lovely waitress greeted us quickly She brought us English menus and drinks right away The beer was good and the poutine with maxi fries turned out to be my favorite during my stay And I did my share of poutine tastingfrom super highend to not so much and this one took the prize sorry FrenchCanada The Flamm was not my favorite but the beer and poutine filled me up so it was not a big deal If in a bind for a place to dine this is not a bad bet It really does not feel so chainlike
