  • Wow - I'm very surprised to see this place is closed, per Yelp! I was here a mere month ago and it seemed to be doing a pretty good business for a Monday night. This was my first night in the Montreal area after a long day of traveling; and Linguini was close to the hotel. A small group of us arrived about 7:30, after the hotel staff mentioned it to us. Such a nice, cozy vibe here, and we received a friendly greeting immediately. I was amazed at the cabin-like decor inside, complete with crackling fireplaces, rustic furnishings and wood beams - surprising for an Italian spot on a highway frontage road. They were fully decked-out for Christmas in mid-November, which made it even cozier. Our group checked the wine list and ordered a bottle of Sangiovese while we perused the food menu. A large and varied selection here, though I focused on the smaller prixe fixe menu , which offered several options of apps and entrees, many of which weren't on the main menu. On that list I kept going back to the pork chop cooked in wine sauce with figs. I eventually gave in to my instincts and ordered it with their soup choice. Meal in short - The lentil soup was fantastic; well-balanced and flavorful. The subsequent chop was cooked well but wasn't quite as good as I hoped; on the fatty side and the figs and wine flavors weren't coming through for me. The closing dish was a respectable chocolate cake, which went well with the wine...our second bottle... or was it the third? (there were 7 of us) One weak point was the service - friendly and prompt at first; but then our waiter seemed to disappear for far too long. Once he re-appeared the service picked up, but was still pretty slow. We had to go seek him out to pay the bill. I'm very likely to be back to this area within the next 6 months, and with such a large menu I'd love to give RL another try; but I don't know if I will get the chance. Though Yelp indicates this business is no more, the website is still up and taking reservations. Will I be the last one to review it? Here's hoping not. == postscript: Turns out the place was destroyed by fire, but they are re-building: (http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/baie-durfe-restaurant-linguini-destroyed-by-fire)
