I recently purchased by first road bike from Eric, the owner of Slippery Pig. The service was and continues to be superb. I got a really great deal on the bike as well as all the "fixings" like a computer, headlight, shoes, pedals, extra tubes, etc. Eric even took the time to give me a mini lesson on how to fix a flat/replace a tube and how to adjust the clips on my shoes (after he took the time to secure them in for me in the first place). This was not because his bike shop was quiet and there wasn't any other work to do...this is because that is just the kind of guy he is and the type of bike shop he runs. You might have to wait a while to get help when its busy but they're gonna take good care of you when they do. The guys are a laid back group who love to shoot the shit and talk about bikes, recent rides, and old battle-scars. Any time my bike needs a tune up or adjustment they are happy to help. They made sure the bike fit my frame well and made minor adjustments to the seat height, handle bar angle, etc. Things I would not be able to do for myself as a novice rider. Furthermore, as a new rider the guys are even encouraging me to ride with a group and I've been invited to join them on many rides. There are some negative reviews but I would disregard them. I would gladly buy another bike here and I have many friends who have been loyal to this shop for many, many years and have purchased dozens of bikes from Eric. The new shop is in a great location across from the light-rail on Central ave. Plus there is a new, adorable shop-puppy working there!

Francais apres This is my favorite pizza in Montreal. This place is great for a lot of reason: 1) There's ridiculous amount of different topping, like Rick V says in previous review: like 70 pizza. 2) You can get out of there, tip included for 20$ 3) The place is always packed and the service is still fast. on lunch hour if you actually have 45-60 minutes lunch and work within 5 minutes walk, you'll make it! 4) Wooden-burning oven. First time I went there was with a group of collegue of 15-20 persons and within 75 minutes, we were all done! Pizza is the most delicious fast food on Planet Earth, I could die eating pizza 2-3 times a day for the rest of my live. Topping definition is infinite and therefore, we can make everything in a pizza and this place is a commitment to prove it! The Calzonne are super great too C'est ma pizza favorite a Montreal. Cet endroit est superbe pour plusieurs raisons 1) C'est qu'ils ont un nombre ridicule de garniture. Comme le review precedent le mentionne, plus de 70! 2) Tu peux quitter le resto le ventre plein pour 20$ apres tip. 3) Ce resto est toujours remplis et malgre tout, le service est rapide. Durant l'heure du lunch, si vous avez 45-60 minutes et que vous etes a 5 minutes du resto a pied, vous pouvez diner la sans revenir en retard au boulot. 4) 3 mots: Four a bois. La premiere fois que je suis alle la, nous etions un groupe de 15-20 collegues et en moins de 75 minutes, tout le monde etait servis, avait mange et paye. La rapidite et la qualite vont de paire pour moi. Ils ont definitivement une recette gagnante. La pizza c'est, a mon avis, le meilleur fast food au monde. Je pourrais en manger 2-3 fois par jour jusqu'a la fin de mes jours juste a cause de l'infinis possibilite de garniture. Sans compte que ca peut contenir tous les groupes alimentaires en une bouchee! Ah et ils ont des Calzone ridiculement bons!

We had a group reservation for The Old Town Tortilla Factory, that was great. The problem was that was about all that was great about the place. The credit card machine in the bar was down for the time we were waiting for our table, chips and salsa was $7 and the food was not really good at all. I had asked our waitress about two items and she suggested the restaurants signature dish Pollo Margarita, stuffed chicken breast with chiptole mashed potato cake and seasonal vegetables. The chicken was extremely dry the stuffing was bland and the mashed potato cake was the same bland and dry. The only thing good to eat was the freshly made tortillas.

Love this place, perfect for a quick work lunch or pickup. This place is just down the street from my job and they are always very courteous, but quick. I usually call ahead, place my order over the phone and then pick up lunch in 15min. They have a great, perfectly-priced lunch menu.
