| - After wandering around on a bitterly cold Saturday in Montreal, my friend and stopped in Les 3 Brasseurs. We needed something to eat after a few hours at the museum, and to refuel for our outdoor walking sessions.
While walking along Rue Saint Paul as most tourists do, we found this place abuzz with activity. We figured what better way to fuel our caloric needs on such a cold day than with beer and poutine. I mean, that is what you do when you're in Canada, isn't it?
My companion went with the poutine, and I actually opted for the cheddar soup in a bowl. I strange choice on my part (I'm not usually into creamy soups), but I felt compelled to have something different and a bread bowl also sounded very appetizing. I was happy with my decision. It was exactly what I needed that day. And did I mention the beer? We went with the blondes - a perfect choice for me. As a non-beer drinker, I was pleasantly surprised by this light beer. There was absolutely no bitterness to it whatsoever, and that's exactly what I had hoped for.
Les 3 Brasseurs was in the perfect place at the perfect time for us. We normally wouldn't have ventured into a chain restaurant, but as standards, this wasn't bad. We had a nice time, the food was good, we were warm. Our server was polite, but I did feel that we were rushed out a little sooner than we would have liked. A crowd was starting to fill in near the door, and that was our indication to hurry up instead of linger over our beers for a few minutes longer.
