| - Part of St. Catherine's has been changed to be a pedestrian zone and one of the restaurants that's there is St. Hubert's. This is a restaurant that didn't do well in Ontario but still maintains a presence in Quebec. Being a fan of Swiss Chalet, I wanted my family to have a comparison basis between the two, so, I went with a friend of mine.
It was busy on a Saturday night at 7:30 pm, and we had to wait for a table. Not an unreasonable wait. When we finally got a table, it was near the back in a large booth that accomodated us.
Food was good, standard quarter chicken dinner with ribs. My friend had chicken and a salad. My wife had a quarter chicken dinner and my kids had the nuggets which came in a "cab" shaped container, they thought it was quite novel. Naturally, there is colouring for the kids.
Refills on soft drinks were a little dicey, and I think I was charged another $3 for a refill, something they don't do at Swiss Chalet in Ontario. I did ask my friend whether it was just the fact that they were picking on us because we were from Ontario and whether as a Quebecer, they got free refills. He just looked at me like I was from Mars and advised me very politely that he doesn't ask for refills.
The food was good and filling, portions were good for me. Prices were a little higher than what I am used to with Swiss Chalet, and even with them I think I am still not getting good value.
