This diner located in St. Henri has been serving traditional greasy spoon fare for decades. I dined with three others at this establishment on New Year's Day. We arrived to be seated at a classic booth with red leather seats and a jukebox from another era. There was plenty of elbow room and the ambiance of the place was decidedly blue collar and working class.
I ordered the Hot Chicken Plate which included French fries and vegetables (carrots and celery). The meal also included French Canadian pea soup, as well as a coffee and chocolate cake for dessert. This for the grand total of $11.67 (tip not included). The service was alright. I had to ask for a glass of water.
The soup was good traditional pea soup, heated just right and served promptly. The Hot Chicken Plate was also very good. The chicken was all white meat and tender. The brown sauce was thick and tasty. The fries were also excellent and thick. The vegetables were a little on the cold side. The coffee and chocolate cake desert were also good. All in all, the meal that I had reminded me of a meal I would get in a Montreal tavern when taverns were more prominent in Montreal. Definitely worth the price!
