Club Touriste - Montreal, Quebec

The atmosphere of this place is lovely and the server we had was very good made 2 wonderful cocktails and very good selection of wine. The food- well that’s where the restaurant fell short. The carbonara was an Alfredo at best. Very heavy with cream. A carbonara is very light ... good Parmesan Reggiano with salt and pepper egg yolks and guancale or pancetta and a hint of garlic. Unfortunately this sat very heavy with too much cream and garlic. Disappointing I’m sorry to say. Maybe choose one of the beef entrees. Read more

I really enjoyed this place. I was going to ask about the ingredients of the Burger Végé, because it was the only thing I recognized as definitely vegetarian at first. However, our family friend in the group asked, in French, if they had any vegan options (for reference, I can ... understand quite a bit of French, and I can speak just a bit conversationally). Our server pointed towards the Sauté au Poulet, which has a tofu option (I did not see this when initially browsing!). I said I'd absolutely have that. I'm sure glad our friend asked for me (merci beaucoup:)). We had some wine while we waited, and the table enjoyed some appetizers over some nice partially French/English conversation, haha. The evening felt lighthearted and breezy; the group was in a good mood after seeing some sights earlier in the day. Everyone received their food at the same time, and then the table was quiet. Our food was delicious. I was hoping the tofu in my dish would be fried, and it was. I wasn't expecting wheat noodles, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. The sauce in my dish was a minimally spicy General Tso - very yummy. My brother is not supposed to eat too much cheese, but he knew what he was getting into when he ordered the Gnocchi. As of the next morning, he still says it was worth it. Overall, we had a very pleasant time, in the company of some great quality family and friends. Our server was polite, helpful, and knowledgeable, and our meals came out almost right as we remembered we'd ordered them in the first place (just on time:)). I am happy to have visited, and I'd love to come back again. Read more

A wonderful dining experience! We started with Cesar salads and french fries, delicious. We couldn't stop...Our main course was grilled veal and grilled salmon - perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The rice, tomatoes and olives really complemented the salmon. We also had three desserts: key lime pie, carrot ... cake and chocolate cake. We tried to stop but ate most of that as well. Sarah our server was charming, funny and thoughtful. Her suggestions were spot on. The atmosphere was good for catching up with friends. We'll be back. Read more

Wait time was really long, not because the night was busy but because the waitress really didn't know anything in regards to dietary restrictions which is definitely not on her but the owner. I would suggest adding simple symbols to your menu to guide customers so that things like vegetarian, ... spicy, gluten free can be easily spotted which would have eliminated waiting 1.5 hours for our mains. The Gnocchi was a really great dish, the salmon was not anything impressive paired with rice that was undercooked. The ambiance is really beautiful and it's a nice restaurant but for the price I don't believe the experience is worth it. Read more
