| - I'm wondering why my fellow Yelpers are so unhappy with L'Gros Luxe. As compared with them I'm happy and have had pleasant evenings in the pub located at Notre Dame. The ambiance is nice and cozy, the last time we were seated in a room at the back that is somehow an extension to the actual pub, which I can vaguely describe as a covered terrace with summer type furniture. It was weird the room was extremely warm and there were ventilators at the ceiling trying to introduce some movement of the air, but why would I complain about heat in a wintry April.
The famous Bloody Caesars are perfect as a concept, pick your ingredients, extras and you are potentially happy, unfortunately the drink is almost virgin, I couldn't feel the alcohol, but you can have an extra shot for additional fee if you need a little buzz. Choice of other cocktails and beers is solid. Food is nice, everybody would love fried pickles and onion rings as a little unhealthy snack because they are yummy. If you need something more solid you can enjoy fresh salads or well prepared poutines, or tacos that can be served with a nice little bowl of house salad. The traditional poutine version is made with Tater Tots, but I decided to substitute them for regular fries and add one of my favorite extras: bacon, nice choice of mine.
I have experienced timely and attentive service at L'Gros Luxe. Prices are reasonable, but this is not necessarily a cheap pub. In the past there was no option to book a table, now you can reserve on the web site and that makes the pub even more attractive for bigger groups of people.
