Magnan is considered a Montreal institution and has been around for over 75 years - I originally went there to watch a hockey game on one of their many TVs, and have friends who make it a point to catch the first game of every season there - This was the 2nd time I have gone to Magnan even though I live fairly close to it and was disapointed in my meal - I ordered the 6oz roast beef with fries - the roast beef, was cooked to perfection and very tasty, but my side of fries were cold and the vegetables on my plate, although quite colorfoul, were a little bland - I would definitely go back, but would order something different.
