The Montreal Pool Room is known to be a famous greasy spoon in Montreal's former red-light district. Located off os Saint Laurent Boulevard, the restaurant has been around since '12 (although a fire back in '89 burnt the building down and the restaurant was said to have been rebuilt and has since located across the street from its original post). While you can't find any pool tables inside, you can find that their famous and popular offerings of the Steame (the steamed bun with the steamed hot dog) and the Toaste (toasted bun with the grilled hot dog). The hubs and I came later in the evening, and we tried one of each - I preferred the Toaste, as it had a nice crisp toasted exterior, and the grilled hot dog was yummy with all the fixings. The hubs actually preferred the Steame, as it was a simple, straight-forward dog. Staff were friendly, and there were plenty of seats along the counter. The restaurant itself was also clean, bright, and well-lit.
