Review Summary

At Pâtisserie Cocovanille, reviews highlight a warm welcome and pastries that are very good, though one order mishap left a customer disappointed when a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting was received instead of the chocolate cake requested. A raspberry cake is described as succulent and a pistachio biscuit as delicious. The Paris Brest is hailed as divine and a last minute save earns a huge thank you. A custom raspberry cake is absolutely delicious and loved by all the guests. Excellent service and frequent mentions of tasty pastries and good coffee accompany the overall praise, and many say they would certainly return.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Bar Le Mal Nécessaire is described as a chic, spacious cocktail bar with a tropical yet refined vibe that blends tiki flair with a premium cocktail experience. The cocktails are consistently praised for creativity, balance, and striking presentation, with standout signatures and some very strong options where the ABV is noted on the menu. The staff are repeatedly described as knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, guiding guests through the menu and making the experience feel welcoming whether at the bar or a table. The atmosphere is often noted as upscale and lively, sometimes with live music or a DJ, which can make conversation a bit loud during peak hours. A few critiques mention the price point and the lack of food options, with many wishing for small plates to pair with drinks. The new location is larger and keeps the same high standard of service, though some reviews miss the character of the old venue. Reservations are advised to secure a seat, and the bar is frequently recommended for groups or a stylish night out.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews for Bistro Jaybi highlight bold, comforting flavors, generous portions, and solid value whether ordering takeout or dining in. Diners repeatedly praise the griot for being tender inside and crispy on the outside, with fresh pikliz, while the jerk chicken is juicy and well seasoned and the fried chicken is described as among the best, with fries and a spicy BBQ sauce earning high marks. The mac and cheese is creamy and portions are generous, leaving many feeling stuffed and satisfied, and the restaurant is hailed as a hidden gem and a standout option for something a little different. There are occasional critiques about the dining room cleanliness and the sense that takeout is the main mode of service, but the overall sentiment remains enthusiastic and repeatable, with customers recommending Bistro Jaybi for reliable deliciousness at a fair price and a home cooked feel that makes them want to return.View restaurant profile

Old Montreal
BarTapas

Review Summary

The Coldroom is described as a hidden speakeasy in Old Montreal, with an unmarked entrance and a cellarlike interior of brick walls and wood and leather that creates an intimate, moody setting. Reviews praise the cocktails for creativity and precision, listing favorites such as Death Mark, Rice to Meet You, Internal Affairs, and Joe Peachi, with many noting that the drinks are the main draw and worth the admission price. Atmosphere ranges from cozy and romantic for dates to lively and social for groups, with a vibe described as underground and intimate, though music can be loud at times. Service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, but some visits report slower pacing during busy hours or a staff member who seemed less helpful; the menu is small and snacks are light. Getting in often involves ringing a discreet doorbell and waiting, and the entrance can be a challenge to locate, especially on weekends when crowds form, yet most reviewers call it a must see and a memorable part of Montreal's cocktail scene, with prices that are reasonable for the quality.View restaurant profile

Latin QuarterQuartier des Spectacles
Bar

Review Summary

Overall, HUQQA LOUNGE is described as a relaxed lounge with strong shisha and a pleasant vibe, with several reviews praising attentive and friendly service and items like wings and shish taouk as solid choices, though portions can feel a bit small. Some experiences note clean and stylish ambiance with a DJ, while others point to cleanliness issues, inconsistent service, and staff who seemed distracted or more focused on shisha at the bar than on tables. The crowd vibe and atmosphere range from upbeat and sociable to off putting for some, and there are mentions of price value as satisfactory in places but not universally. In short, the shisha and general ambiance receive praise, service can be standout when attentive, but cleanliness, consistency and crowd dynamics influence whether guests would return.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews of Benny & Co. show a mixed experience, with some dishes praised for flavor and a few locations delivering solid meals, while others fall short due to dry chicken, small portions, inconsistent sauce, and sometimes cold or reheated plates. Missing items on orders, long wait times, and high prices for the portion sizes are recurring complaints, along with a sense that the dining ambiance has shifted from the past. Service is often described as friendly, especially at counters or drive-thru, but consistency varies by location and visit. Overall impressions suggest Benny & Co. can serve up tasty chicken and good sauces, yet reliability and value are inconsistent across the board.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Bar Le Devin feels like a simple tavern where the crowd gathers for a relaxed drink and the vibe is described as a place where vampires hang out. Beer by glass or bottle, wine by glass or bottle, but with little variety and drinks that are strong but not about mixology. The venue hosts evenings with musicians and karaoke, plus a pool table and a section with paid gaming machines. People who come are described as simple and gather around the bar to unwind with a drink, and the waitresses are very friendly.View restaurant profile

At Pâtisserie Notre Maison, last minute orders were accommodated even when placed the day before January and the process was easy; everything ordered was delicious and highly recommended; however, phone issues were noted with attempts to confirm the order, as calls were made twice but no sound came from the line.View restaurant profile
