My husband and I were in Montreal for the weekend and stayed in a hotel nearby. We stopped by Notkins on Friday night and had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated. It was worth the wait! The oysters were AMAZING, fresh and shackled right in front of us, served with home-made hot sauce and freshly grated horseradish. Fish tacos were also very delicious. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place. Staff was very apologetic for the wait and super friendly. Great place!
