At first I was skeptical when my friend said that the best thai food in Montreal is in a food court, but now I'm a believer. Third floor of the Faubourg (which sort of smells like glue and was creepily abandoned when we went at dinnertime), in the corner, is an incredible gem that should expand and make lots of money because they're so good.
I had the chicken tom yum soup, which was spicy and creamy and hot, then we split an eggplant dish and pad thai with tofu. The pad thai was very good, a big mound of spicy and flavorful food, while the eggplant was astonishing. I had never tried Thai eggplant before so I can't really say whether it was better than its other incarnations, but I loved it. It was almost too spicy and I was very grateful for the heaps of white rice under it. Super cheap, super good!
