My parents were in town visiting Montreal for the first time last month. We are huge on seafood in my family having been born and raised along the Mediterranean. Notkins doesn't dissapoint one bit. The owner knows his seafood and provides top grade. You do pay for it, but who wouldn't to eat incredible seafood. Honestly the seafood platter is the way to go. The other cooked dishes are really good, but they get out shinned by the seafood platter.
Also not to spoil the fun, but the bathrooms are a very cool design. Loved the concept.
