Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville

Canadian Sandwiches Tartare Café Regional

Review Summary

Boswell Brasserie Artisanale attracts mixed reviews, with beer as a standout and the atmosphere described as pleasant and convivial, especially on a terrace, and many notes praising the variety of on tap beers and friendly staff when service runs smoothly. Food is praised by some for creativity and good flavors, including salmon tartare, taboule, chicken bites, and even a tasty burger, while others find certain dishes mediocre, portions small for the price, or ruined by excessive salt or sugar as in the onion soup and desserts. Service is described as hit or miss, ranging from quick courteous attention to slow or distracted staff, and several comments mention limited cocktails or inconsistent availability of menu items. The setting is sometimes called a nice microbrewery vibe despite a parking lot feel on the terrace, and while the beer program remains a major draw, overall impressions vary and some would return mainly for drinks rather than full meals.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Brasserie chez Burky's as offering one of the best pizzas they have ever had, with friendly and accommodating service. The order included a red beer and wings with fries, which were enjoyed, though a different dipping sauce would be requested next time after receiving poutine sauce instead of BBQ sauce, yet it still tasted good. Overall, there is interest in returning, ideally during a busier time to judge whether the experience warrants another visit.View restaurant profile

Shawinigan

Market Tartare Creative Salads Café Breakfast

Review Summary

Le 2800 du parc is described as a warm, charming place with a beautiful riverside setting and a cozy interior that invites relaxation after a day in the park, where the staff are consistently friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere during both quiet meals and lively evenings with live music. The food is generally delicious and comforting, with ample portions and several crowd pleasers, though a few dishes miss the mark, such as bread that is too hard or chicken in a salad that is overly dry, and some reviewers felt items were not standout or that prices were high for the value. The terrace offers striking views and a romantic ambiance, but service can be slow at times and external factors like a nearby event, noise, or a food truck generator can affect the experience. Outdoor comfort may require mosquito precautions or extra cooling. Overall, Le 2800 du parc is seen as a solid, versatile stop for good meals, drinks, and scenery, with durable appeal for both casual visits and special outings.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Overall, Archibald Microbrasserie is widely seen as a standout airport meal stop at the Montreal airport (YUL), offering solid to excellent food and beer, friendly and efficient service, and a warm chalet style atmosphere that makes waiting for a flight more pleasant. Reviewers praise fast service, attentive staff, and the range of options from burgers and poutine to smoked meat sandwiches and breakfast; several note the beer is a highlight and the space is comfortable for a bite.

Pub John Molson

(14)

Dorval

Pub Food Sandwiches Burgers Breakfast

Review Summary

Pub John Molson comes up as a handy airport stop for killing a bit of time, especially for a morning breakfast with a decent menu and a mix of food and drink options. The atmosphere is okay for an airport setting, and the option to sit and relax is appreciated since many nearby spots are express or takeout. Food quality is generally decent, with a vegetarian skillet offering large portions that are tasty, though a lighter choice is suggested for jet lag or fatigue. Service can be slow in the morning when only one server is on, but the area is arranged for quick throughput. The Montreal location yields mixed notes on the smoked meat, with some finding it fatty and requesting more meat, and attempts to heat a second package improving things somewhat but not fully satisfying. Fries are good, and there is disappointment about the soup selection, with potato bacon soup being declined. Overall, Pub John Molson provides a convenient sit down option in the airport to pass time, alongside a range of express options around YUL.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

The space is noted for cleanliness and value, but some reviews mention slot machines shaping the crowd and occasional missteps from waitstaff. Overall, L Leo's Taproom seems to be a solid option for a social night out with good drinks, decent food, and a lively ambiance, albeit with variability by night.View restaurant profile
