Awesome experience. Location is super close. The pho was delicious. Not a fav of the Vietnamese sandwich. It didn't have a lot of the pickled veggies and the pate is chicken. I believe the sandwich I had in Chinatown had pork pate. The marinated grilled pork was a highlight. The server was friendly and answered all my questions. I didn't feel intimidated at all.

Our neighbors found signs of termites. They suggested we check our home. Sure enough, termites. We all went to the Bug & Weed Mart and the staff was EXTREMELY helpful. Jim talked us through exactly how to treat each property for termites; he explained and drew it out. The cost for each home was about $160, significantly less than the $750+ an extermination company proposed. Research showed exterminators dilute solutions significantly more than recommended, rendering treatment ineffective. It took a day of work, but we teamed up and did the work and together spent $320 instead of $1500+. It is now 8 months later and no signs of termites. We are confident treatment will last at least the 10 years Jim told us. We highly recommend Bug & Weed Mart; they truly are informed, knowledgeable and EXPERTS!

I heard this pizzeria was #2 in the country. I'll say this: I would be disappointed if I had paid $5 for this 'pizza'. Horrible. Horrible. Very little cheese, little toppings..... JUST NOT GOOD AT ALL. I am a fan of thin, crispy pizza (Villa, La Familia, etc), but this was not good, and I have no doubt I will ever go back.

I had such an interesting experience dining here. My friends and I called in early asking about whether or not we needed to make reservations and we were told that we didn't because there was a lot of space. When we got to the restaurant, we were turned away because we supposedly had to make reservations days in advance? It was honestly just a really nasty experience because the waitress aggressively told us that we had no idea what we were talking about. It was just generally a very disappointing first interaction for a place that's rated so highly on a lot of food blogs about Montreal. That being said though, we were determined to give this place a shot. We got a bit luckier the next day and opted ot have an insanely early dinner. We managed to get seated pretty quickly which was nice, and we ordered four different dishes: the poutine (of course), something... with fois gras, the melting pot, and duck in mushroom sauce Poutine was so solid. This was my first experience having poutine in Montreal which apparently is a big thing for the Canadians or something. But since I haven't had any other type of poutine, I'm not exactly the best reviewer of whether or not this poutine was worth it. It was definitely very delicious though! I'm not sure what the special was that day but it did have foi gras and it was this strange pancake like thing but... with duck? I really don't know, but I've always been a proponent of the magic of specials so I would just say that you should always order the special because it's a special for a reason right? The melting pot was the other thing that was spoken very highly of on food blogs and was definitely an interesting one. I guess all in all, it wasn't that the food was bad, but it wasn't really anything mindblowing. I guess the special was moderately mindblowing, but everything else was good but nothing too special . tldr; a bit overhyped in all honesty... not a bad experience though
