If you are a knitter and live in, or are swinging through Montreal, you must check out Effiloche. Their selection is superb - a wide range, from the high end beautiful treats (sea silk!) to the every-day workhorse yarns of the world, but with a definite trend toward the luscious. The space is cozy and warm, with a parlor-style knitting area complete with comfy couches. When we visited, the place was filled with mothers and babies...aww. In the back, you'll find a formidable selection of quilting fabrics and buttons (in mason jars...I love it!) and a decent choice of books (many francophone). They also have a small selection of spinning supplies toward the front. And they have a bathroom...which is very important when wandering the streets of a big city. Yes, they speak English, and the staff are very friendly. When the bridal-gown stores of Rue St.-Hubert make you dizzy, come here to unwind and oogle fine yarn. It's good for you.

Awesome pub, friendly staff, beers are all good and big selection. The American IPA on cask was excellent. Smooth with a slight creaminess texture on the palette, unique for an IPA. They also have cider and whiskey for those looking for other options. Never had the food but looks good! Definitely a great place if your in mile end.

I was lured in by the cheap dinner special.. Like everyone has said before me $6.99 steak, potato, greens, salad or soup and beer.. And have yet to leave! I usually go back to Ellis for their chicken fried chicken.... It is not too greasy but it is crispy, moist and huge with a side of mashed potatos and veggies ...As a kicker they cover it with some special gravy ( it's very rich and creamy). This also comes with a soup or salad for only $7.99 There is a huge selection of food for everyone here... It's worth the wait and cheap enough to check it out at least once. It's not a first class dinning establishment but this place is definitely quirky and old! The service here is hit or miss... Usually miss! Sometimes they will serve warm sourdough bread and butter sometimes they won't .. Most times they won't refill our glasses or bring napkins, wont bring boxes or bags for the leftovers, wont ask if we want dessert.... But hey I'm paying so I keep asking! As far as the casino goes... The place is small and pretty chill... My dad won $500 bucks on slots the first time I took him ... So he was happy and asking to go back. Also since this place is kinda small you can easily spot and flag down the cocktail waitress.... People do some in this place but since there is no carpet, it doesn't stink too bad. Bathrooms are old and beat up but clean.. Also parking doesn't suck... It's not too far of a walk regardless of where u park. I do want to go back and try the BBQ restaurant there.... I was it finger licking good and very affordable.

The actual polish job was good, but the massage was awful. In fact, if I ever did go back, I'd decline the massage. I don't like having my shin massaged.
