| - Peel Pub is so wonderfully cheap. My husband and I went there for dinner but were overwhelmed by the crazy happy hour deals - on a Tuesday, no less! There was a good 2-for-1 deal on beer for $5 (I think) and cheap sangria. To be fair, it tasted like cheap sangria, but who's complaining?
Perhaps it's because I'm American and used to something else, but on our two visits to Peel Pub, I had two separate "what the hell is this" moments: the veggie burger and the nachos. The veggie burger wasn't bad, it was just odd. I didn't expect it to taste so much like falafel that rolled in saffron. But I like falafel and saffron, so that's fine. Now, my opinion on the nachos may be unfair since this seems to be a Montreal thing. I consider myself to be a nacho expert, and also a judge of authenticity since I'm from the US and the US is attached to Mexico. Specious reasoning aside, I'm not buying salsa as a headliner in a plate of nachos, Peel Pub. Not at all.
Overall, Peel Pub was a great place to relax, eat, and imbibe. The staff on both visits were sweet and attentive, despite the crowds. I will be back my next time in Montreal.
