This place.is like el furniture in vancouver bc.
A no frills diner with comfort food all for the affordable price of $4.95...
Ordered the smoky burger paired with soup . Wife had the fish tacos and had poutine with maple bacon for appys.
Burger was great. Not dry. Moist and juicy and portion was awesome. Cheese was perfectly melted. Only thing negative was the bun. In vancouver, they use brioche bun.which was lightly oiled and toasted. Here, it was more like $ store bun. Very dry and stale. I ended up not eating the bread. But the patty was seasoned well and everything else came together.
The soup tho tasted weird...it was like a mix.of grits.and cream soup.and garnished with chinese green onions!! So weird! Maybe the chef was trying a fusion.of some.sort...but let me tell you...it did not work.
Fish tacos were awesome. Fish was perfectly breaded and tasty and came with a wedge of lime. The salsa and veggies accompanying the taco filling all complemented the dish.
The poutine was awesome. Fries nice and crispy...curds were aplenty and creamy...maple bacon was generously sprinkled on top. The sweetness of the maple and saltiness of the bacon...complemented the gravy curds and fries magically. Definitely a must have.
Service was great. Iit was quick and spot on
For price and value ration: a must try for sure.
A nice and affordable place.given the chic neighborhood of mont royal.
Happy eating!
