La Salle À Manger - Montreal, Quebec

I'm so glad I stumbled onto this place. It's in a quaint little location surrounded by cute cafes, shops and other amenities. Parking was easy to find. We loved the virtual check in and, even though it was a last minute booking, "like a hotel" was very accommodating. Instead of a ... hotel room, we had a 3 bedroom apartment (3 queen beds) with living room, kitchenette (fridge/freezer, stove, dishwasher, sink) and good sized bathroom. It was very spacious, clean and quiet. Beds and pillows were comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer! Read more

Overpriced... definitely not mouth watering. Would not accommodate scrambling eggs instead of sunny side up. I think they're trying to be super hip and forgetting about taste. Would not recommend this place for brunch. I also specifically asked to ensure that the eggs were runny for the Benedict and ... they were fully hardened on the inside. My boyfriends toast was inedible as it was rock solid with no butter and the bacon was undercooked and more like pork belly or pork rind very very fatty. Read more

Loved this place. Right from the ambience to how friendly the staff is. We sat by the bar and had the walleye ceviche, Jamaican patties, homemade charcuterie board and the bone marrow. Everything was just delicious! We were warned to not over order, so we just stuck to ordering a ... bunch of apps. Camille our server was awesome- she made us some amazing cocktails and gave us great recommendations on the menu. Dessert was the icing on the cake - la barre chocolat - So delicious with the graham cracker crust. All in all, an excellent experience. We would definitely come back. Read more

Our hotel (Like A Hotel), recommended this place. We wanted something with some Quebec flare and unique offerings so we went here. This restaurant isn't very big and the menu doesn't have a lot...which I consider a good thing! Too many restaurants can overwhelm with their variety. They have both English ... and French menus which is fantastic for an silly Anglophone like myself. The servers there are great. They seem to be fluent in English and very approachable! We brought my inlaws with us who don't speak French or English, and they waited patiently while we translated the menu for my inlaws. I really appreciated this! They knew their menu well and explained their offerings fully. When I enquired about Wine they explained and suggested their preferences. The overall restaurant has what I consider to be a simpler look. Someone drew the Twitter, Facebook, Instagram symbols in chalk and I found that hilariously impressive. They have a giant chalk board displaying their desserts, too, though they were in French so we asked our server about them. The menu has offerings with veal and rabbit. I'm not a fan of either so I went with the "safe" option of Pork chops. I really liked my dish. There was a lot of meat, tasty tomatoes, and this bread stuff underneath the pork chops. I can't explain it really but I loved whatever it was. It was slightly sweet and complimented the pork chops well. We ordered a meat sampler dish and THIS was good! It came with sides of different mustard sauces and a rabbit salad that my boyfriend didn't care for because he found it tasted too much like liver. I loved this one mustard with seeds in it. It also had some vegetables as garnish. We devoured it all. My Mother-in-law wasn't pleased with her food. They serve dishes in plain things like glass jars and steel buckets, which turned her off. (Not myself...since I thought it to be just the style.) My significant other ordered a rabit dish and was pleased with his. The food came out a bit slow but I have experienced slower moving restaurants. I enjoyed the dining experience. The appetizer did come out fast. I think that I would return here for my pork chop dish. Perhaps they will expand their menu just a tad bit more so that non-adventurous folks like myself can 'explore' with foods we are more used to. I think the staff put a lot of effort and I think they were some of the most memorable servers on my vacation. Read more

Our friend, Dominic, started this restaurant with his buddies at Réservoir. The food is very meat-centric, but there are dishes to please even the pickiest vegetarian. They often have a good selection of oysters, which is nice to see, when we're so far from the sea. Service was pleasant and fun. The ... decor is a little too hipster for me, but I can forgive them because of their excellent wines. Overall, a big hit. Read more
