| - I'm glad there was such a massive line at Schwartz's that I by-passed it and went to this little gem instead. I was seated promptly outside (Saturday, 7:30pm), it was warm out but they also had the patio heaters on, if I came not even 10mins later I would have ended up having to wait for a seat. I went alone, and the servers were very nice and attentive. I didn't know how the ordering process went though, so I made the mistake of getting my seat first then asking for a menu. There is no "menu" per se, it's written on the board inside, so you have to read there and then order. Also, it's only in French.
Ordered the fried chicken tacos and a beer ($17 for both). At first, it looked like there wasn't much chicken in the tacos, just pure lettuce, but underneath was a fair share of chicken. The chicken had a bit of a fishy taste to it, I'm assuming it was in the same batter or same oil as the chicken? Nonetheless, it was pretty good. Crispy outside, juicy inside. I didn't like the fact that there were tons of jalapeno chunks inside the taco though. Perhaps they should serve those on the side, or put less? Also, why don't places ever use corn tortillas?? I think they make tacos taste much better.
I wasn't super full from my meal, but full enough. Getting a dessert would have been nice, if I was able to read the menu from the outside. Maybe they need to print out their menu for the patio customers.
Overall, I'm glad I was able to try this place out. I'd eat here again next time I'm in Montreal.
