| - In the mood for some Tex-Mex? Then make your way to Icehouse for some deep-fried southern comfort! They do not take reservations and there will most likely be a long line up that takes around 30-45 minutes to get through, so mentally prepare yourself and keep your group limited to 2-3 people since it is a small, but cozy place. A great restaurant to enjoy some bourbon lemonade over their hot and spicy comfort food, their menu is written up on the wall by the open-kitchen and ranges from fried chicken to tacos, to burritos and spicy popcorn shrimp, among many others. They have an interesting variety to choose from, which I have never seen elsewhere in Montreal.
Their tacos are soft, loaded, and come in two's. You probably could not tell with all the filling that takes up most of the space on the plate, but the meat is definitely under it all and comes packed with flavour too. The pulled pork and shrimp were great picks. Next on my 'to try' list? Fried Chicken Tacos. They also have an array of hot sauces to choose from, some of which may definitely clean your colon dry.
Ever heard of a lobster burrito? I definitely have not, not until I came to Icehouse anyway. Apparently it is one of their best menu items, and it better be for $20. Mind you, the burrito is huge; if you split it with someone, paying $10 for it will seem much more appropriate. Loaded with corn, beans, and other typical burrito stuffing, the one thing this mouth-watering wrap was missing was a kick of spicy heat (which I could have added on my own if I was not too busy stuffing my face). The lobster tasted great, soft, and fresh - not in the slightest bit rubber-like or chewy. Definitely a must have! Next on my 'to try' list is their Oyster Po'boy, which looked phenomenal and their Catfish BLT that just sounds fantastical.
The popcorn shrimp was pretty good, I was not expecting it to be spicy but that did not bother me. They are the perfect snack if you are in the mood for something on the smaller, lighter-fried-side and not looking for a heavy meal. Alternatively, the lobster roll can also be considered a lighter option depending on one's appetite. "Delicious, savoury, an explosion of flavours in your mouth, and totally satisfying," are just a few ways my friend described it and she would eat it again in a heartbeat. Next appy-must have? Crab-stuffed Jalapenos, yes you read right.
Icehouse has so much to offer, it blows my mind. It is on the higher end of the price range, and most likely in large part due to the ambiance and popularity, but definitely worth it once in a while.
