  • Ma-Am-M Bolduc is the perfect place to pick a hamburger out of a scrapbook. This is a quaint little restaurant at the corner of Marie-Anne and De Lorimier. It can be easily spotted from lower orbit by its neon orange banner and colourful mural. The restaurant rides hard on client fidelity, the appeal and feel of a neighborhood family business, and its somewhat adventurous menu. First time diners will certainly take notice of the mildly disjointed decor (bright paintings, mosaics everywhere, chairs and benches dispersed somewhat randomly) but the "playground" feeling disappears almost instantly once seated. Ma-Am-M Bolduc--whose name will now be copied and pasted because it is a pain to type out--makes the most out of DIY presentation, with charming touches like water being served in stripped wine bottles and, again, the scrapbook menu. The food is serviceable, and sometimes downright delicious. The cooks tend to make the most out of simple meals; the poutines and burgers in particular are almost constant hits, but some more exotic choices can be disappointing in execution. For instance, there is only one meal in the breakfast menu which includes a stuffed baked potato. It's somewhat stuffed. It's not exactly baked. In another confusing accident, I asked for a glass of orange juice and received the pulpy remains of a savagely assaulted citrus. I actually had to chew the pulp before swallowing gulps. These little hiccups mean I wouldn't feel comfortable ordering "anything". I would advise taking a chance with the items featured on the blackboard. Generally, these are fresh twists on old classics and rarely miss their mark. They also have a small but decent selection of beers on tap, always a plus. The day menu also offers a good selection of fairly priced meals, all of them reliably tasty. Among other nice touches, there is the above-par dedication and friendliness of the staff. (Some waiters will sit down next to your table to take your order. This is oddly pleasant and does not put a dent in their professionalism; it gives the sense that they are willing to discuss your tastes and help you make the best possible selection.) The billing is a no-frills affair where you just get up and see the cashier once you're done comparing the paintings. Cool. To sum it up, while it might not deserve an absolute must-see recommendation, Ma-Am-M Bolduc is a satisfying and agreeable piece of Québécois and especially Plateau culture. Check it out next time you crave a bison burger.
