| - Ruby Burma is an amazing little gem located on buzzing St-Laurent Street. Upon entering and sitting down, my husband and I noticed the calm and serene atmosphere of the Burmese restaurant. Big windows allow for a great view of the street, its pedestrians, its nearby businesses and, in spring and summer, a nice breeze.
Although most meals at Ruby Burma contain meat, there are de facto some vegetarian curries on the menu, and it is also possible to request a vegetarian version of other dishes.
It was our first time eating Burmese food and we were blown away! We had a Mixed Vegetables Curry and a Shan Noodle Dish, both very tasty, well spiced and simply delicious. I had the opportunity to try with the noodles pickled Chinese vegetables, something I had never had before, and I loved it. The richness and the freshness of the food were topped by an incredible service provided by the owner herself.
Since Burma (Myanmar) shares borders with India, China and Thailand, it comes as no surprise, in retrospect, that their cuisine displays spices and ingredients from each of those neighboring countries, prepared in a unique (Burmese) way.
Since my recent visit at Ruby Burma, I'm simply sold on Burmese cuisine and will definitely go back to sample more dishes in the near future!
P.S. Try their Burmese tea, akin to an Oolong tea. It's pretty good!
