Queues de Castor - BeaverTails

Opens Today at 10 am

Old Montreal

Desserts & Sweets Poutine Ice Cream Pastries

Review Summary

Queues de Castor - BeaverTails draws praise for its beaver tails, described as addictive with a dough that is crispy on the outside and soft inside, topped with a wide range of toppings from Nutella banana to pistachio cream, and for poutine that many find delicious and generously loaded, though a few note the cheese curds are not always squeaky. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and fast, but busy periods can slow things down since one cashier handles orders, and the space can feel tight with limited indoor seating. The venue is noted as clean and charming with a cute vibe and merch available, making it a worthwhile stop in Montreal's old quarter for visitors from abroad and locals alike, even as some point out hot chocolate can be disappointing. Overall the experience emphasizes quality and value, with beaver tails and poutine as the main draws and the atmosphere as a pleasant bonus.View restaurant profile

Pizza Salads Pastries Café Ice Cream

Review Summary

Comptoir 400 comes across as a lively Old Port spot with a pleasant terrace and a mix of solid dishes and variable service, where reviewers praise the location, atmosphere and flavors in items like mussels, poutine, pizza, burgers and fish, while noting that portions and prices can be inconsistent and some dishes arrive cold or underseasoned. The menu spans seafood, mains and shareables, with several mentions of bruschetta, salads and the arugula pizza as standouts, though a few experiences describe slower service, slow drink refills and uneven attention from staff. The ambiance is repeatedly described as warm and welcoming, making it a good casual option for families, groups or a relaxed dinner, especially outdoors, but timing can suffer during peak hours and some visits feel rushed. Overall, Comptoir 400 is seen as a worthwhile stop for a tasty, location-driven meal with friendly service, yet guests should temper expectations about consistency across visits.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Café Olimpico is widely celebrated as an essential Old Montreal coffee spot, where rich, smooth espresso and a European vibe draw crowds and a loyal following.

Pinnacle Wagyu draws praise for its high quality Wagyu beef, juicy steaks and standout truffle fries, with many reviewers calling the steaks and cheesesteaks among the best they have had and the fries a must order. The atmosphere and service are repeatedly highlighted as friendly and welcoming, contributing to a lively vibe, though a few visits felt inconsistent.
