| - What can I say about Le Cheese? Definitely one of my favourite places to go in Montreal. You can pretty much always find me there on Friday night, around 2 AM (that's still counts as Friday night for me!). Bonus points for being open until 4 AM on Friday and Saturday nights, all year long!
Ever since I read about Le Cheese last year, I knew we would hit it off, and boy was I right! Le Cheese, as the name suggests, specializes in cheesy creations. Grilled cheese sandwiches of every stripe (all excellent), mac and cheese, cheese infused tomato soup (going on my list of best soups in Montreal), poutine (a relatively recent addition, but still awesome), and deep-fried cheesecake!
Many of the menu items are targeted towards omnivorian clientele, however there are plenty of choices for a vegetarian such as myself (even the BATman, Bacon, Avocado, Tomato, which can always be turned into the ATman ;) ). Just be aware that everything is made on a shared grill, so while your meal can be meat free, there are always some byproducts that get in (grease, fat, oil).
The poutine is made with a veggie-based gravy though, and is delicious!
Located in a quieter part of Monkland, where you can actually find parking sometimes, right next to Shortbread by Gryphon and the Gryphon Tea Room, it's easy to overlook this semi-suburban block, but don't miss out. Le Cheese is run by some of the nicest guys I know, the effort, commitment, and passion for their work is evident in everything they do. I always feel at home when I visit.
