On the downside, New Year's Eve planning can be disappointing with only a DJ and champagne and a lack of true entertainment, a noisy sound level that irritated many, and at times slow or inconsistent service. Non alcoholic beverage options are limited according to some reviews, while the beer selection is generally praised and several bites such as mac and cheese bites and chicken wings are highlighted as standout. The overall impression is that Le Boq / Boquébière offers what many look for in a Sherbrooke night out: a place to dance and drink with good beer and a welcoming vibe, but with room for improvement in music management and service consistency.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Dragon Beard Candy as a nostalgic, labor intensive treat that draws people to Montreal's Chinatown, where watching sugar be pulled into hair like threads and wrapped around a nut and coconut filling becomes part of the experience. The shop is regarded as a Montreal classic and a hidden gem, with the long running family vibe and friendly staff adding to the charm, and some visitors even trekking across town to buy boxes to bring home. The candy itself is praised for its delicate texture and delightful taste, and the overall visit is often paired with recommendations for their egg waffles or egg pancakes, reinforcing the sense of tradition and memory. Practical notes include a peanut inside the candy, so allergy awareness is advised, and the store accepts credit cards for convenience. The setting along a main pedestrian street in Chinatown is described as easy and unforgettable.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Bar La Chope earns praise for tasty dishes and good value, with mentions of a Caesar salad with chicken that is incredible and chicken fillets with Greek potatoes done to perfection. Friday karaoke is noted as enjoyable and adds to the lively ambiance. Some visits feel less welcoming with no warm reception, dusty tables and chairs, and guests having to clean up themselves, and outfits get stained after outdoor seating. The service can be slower at lunch or depending on the server. Overall dinners are described as affordable, and the food is repeatedly praised as excellent, with a pleasant atmosphere and entertainment that enhances the experience, even if some practical issues and inconsistencies are noted.View restaurant profile
