Great Burgers!
This little hole in the wall is located in the latin quarter of the city. It is also well worth a visit and a great way to start a night out! The quaint restaurant is colorful and feel's like you've just walked into some trendy little kitchen. The place is narrow but can pack quite a few people in. Every table has crayons so the inner child in you can do some coloring while waiting for some food.
The menu was quite cheap. Everything is under $10CAD. All the burgers come with the fixings. Fries are extra and come on the side. The large fries are huge and best for splitting with others. The also have beer and wine by the glass. The service is friendly and the food comes up quick. I'm not a big burger person but I was quite impressed with this place. This isn't really a restaurant to hang around in; the small size makes for a somewhat loud atmosphere. It's more of a get in get out restaurant but a visit here may be necessary!

Mmm...Tasty!
This restaurant is quite a find tucked away in the antique area of Montreal. If you're walking around the city it is a little bit of a walk from the downtown area but well worth it! Upon walking into the place I immediately felt like i was walking into my grandparent's kitchen in the farmlands. The walls are covered in antique knick knacks, mostly kitchen items but other things mixed in there as well. I also loved the old windows they had hanging in various places throughout the restaurant. The chairs, tables, silverware, and cups are all mismatched and adds to the cozy feel of the place. The service was also excellent. If you don't speak french, no worries because the staff will speak english with you. It seems the restaurant is quite a hit with locals since I didn't see any other tourists in there.
I had the flank steak in a sauce that I can't recall with mashed potatoes, but it was amazing. It was delicious and the steak was cooked just right. They had a couple of daily specials that also sound very good; I think one of them was duck in a chocolate sauce if I recall right. They also serve a small scoop (small but just the right size) of their homemade sorbet for desert at no charge. They'll even drizzle a little grappa over it if you'd like. The place was a little expensive from my point of view. The entrees ranged from about $15 - $30CAD. They also have a couple different wines and beers to accompany a meal. The meals may look small but they are actually very rich and filling so the money spent is well worth it if you've spent a few days eating fast food.
