| - Cinko is a groovy little spot on Saint Denis where, to me, it gives off an effortlessly cool air. The overall ambience of dim lights, the loud blast of quality music covering a span of genres and time periods through the speakers, and accentuation by the means of old vinyl records as place mats and pictures of legendary musicians make this place ideal for young Montrealers. In addition, the food is actually and obviously cheap and affordable enough for broke university students to enjoy, so Montréal Blog might want to take note when advising that age group on where they should go to eat instead of listing what Yelp would put in the $$-$$$ range.
The food, while nothing particularly mind-boggling (except for a very delicious bread pudding), gives customers an incredible bang for their buck, especially the burger meals. I got the classic burger with fries, and it was nicely-sized and filled me up in a satisfying way. It went along quite well with the mojito (the $5 rule doesn't apply to alcoholic drinks by the way), which, although on the weaker side, was still delicious and presented in a cute jar.
Finally, to top off the experience, I decided to try the bread pudding with vanilla ice cream, and I was not disappointed. It has the perfect balance of piping hot and ice cold creamy goodness that all come together for a heavenly experience in your mouth, with just a bit of added crunch from the walnuts to top it all off. If you have extra room in your stomach for dessert, then I highly recommend you try this dish.
Overall, a rad place with good vibes and good food that just might make you feel cooler than you actually are. Stay classy Cinko.
