A: We were waiting for the show at the Basilique Notre Dame de Montreal and realized we needed a bite to eat. We found this little cafe 1/2 block away and were impressed with our first real meal in Montreal. We both ordered the sandwich that the waiter explained as a kind of grilled cheese with ham and tomato and we split the carrot & raisin salad. Both were so so so good! The salad was the most delicious salad I've ever laid on my taste buds and the sandwich... perfect! I would go back to Montreal for this little place alone(ok, not quite, but would be a huge perk). My daughter felt the same way and loved the food. We split 6 macaroons for dessert and they were also very good. It was a wonderful first impression of Montreal dining.

Q: negative

A: Used to be my favorite, but not anymore. Don't know if my taste buds changed or if the food quality changed. I usually order the same thing everytime I come here, but everything tasted alittle different. I always order the calamari, vermicelli noodles and side of pho. 30 min wait to one hour is a norm here. Don't think it's worth it anymore

Q: negative

A: Service? Not sure if the food is any good since my party of eight left before we even looked at the menu. We had a 6:00 PM reservation for a business dinner on a Monday during a major conference. The greeters at the host stand were the first indication that we were not going to have a good dining experience. They were very generally curt and insisted our entire party was present before seating us even for drinks. At just after 6PM seven of us were seated at a table that would have held six people comfortably, seven acceptably, but not enough room for eight yielding steak knives and talking business. We asked the hostess to be re-seated at a table that could accommodate us once the eighth arrived. She said the manager wouldn't allow us to be re-seated. We told her we would leave if she couldn't find a bigger table. She seemed disinterested so we left, passing through a mostly empty dining room. Judging from there reviews here, the experience doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary.

A:
The owner stole a bracelet brought in for repairs and has lied over and over about returning it.
