| - With fond memories of summer nights spent on the terrace during our University days, my husband and I decided to introduce our children to Greek cuisine, Montreal style. JdP did not disappoint. Gourmet cuisine, it's not, but there is something to be said for being consistent. The first bight of souvlaki brochette was like a time warp to 15 yrs and 3 kids ago! Yes, the salad is overdressed but remained crunchy, lemony, and tasty, without reaching for the bottle of (Greek) salt on the table. The meat was cooked perfectly , the slices of onion slightly charred, mmm. The potatoes did not quite match the crisp outside I remembered, but oh well, I was quite willing to overlook that small detail on the otherwise delish plate.
I would also add that kids are actually very well treated here, although few in number. The kids menu was an outstanding value, and my daughter is now a fan of lentil soup!
Overall, not only did it not disappoint, but we made converts of the kids. The BYOW policy keeps it very well priced, and we'll be back during our next Montreal visit. The warm summer night was nothing to sneeze at either, and certainly added to our experience ;-)
