I'm not from Montreal but consider Moishe's, especially the late night special, as one of my "go to" places to eat in the city
-good for groups especially bachelor parties; after eating you can walk down St Laurent to all the clubs and bars
-make a reservation via opentable
-they speak English; staff is professional but friendly
-restaurant is dark but clean and comfortable
-they do allow for bottle service at special pricing during late night menu
-wide selection of beer and wine
-$25 cad late night special is tremendous value. 9pm to Midnight. Thur to Sat. you get appetizer + main dish + coffee/tea
-my recommendation is go with the salmon tartar and then the rib steak (medium rare, its a large portion!). then get the monte carlo potato ($5 more)
-free pickles (solid), cole slaw (which is actually good) and bread, which is above average
pay moishes a visit especially if you are a group of guys headed out after for a night on the town
