Review Summary

Club Pelicano feels like a cool hidden gem with an intimate, small setting and a poolside, underground vibe that keeps the mood both chill and stylish. The cocktails are creative and well balanced, the cheese dumplings are a standout, and the bar inside the pool adds a wow factor that guests remember. The scene works well for a night out with friends or a date, with great music, energetic DJs, and a lively crowd that never feels overcrowded. Service is generally attentive, though there are occasional slow moments at the bar and some dishes arrive later than hoped, with notes about pricing and sustainability like tipping prompts and plastic straws. The venue is pretty and the overall experience is easy to recommend, offering hits in food like cheese dumplings and strong drinks alongside some items that vary in quality. Overall, Club Pelicano delivers a distinctive atmosphere where the drinks shine, the music drives the mood, and the unique poolside twist makes for a memorable night.View restaurant profile

Filipino Comfort Food Soups Desserts & Sweets

Review Summary

Buboy is a cozy Filipino spot tucked into a small corner of a building in Montreal, praised for comforting, deeply satisfying flavors like bulalo with rich bone broth, tender meat, and sweet corn, along with crowd favorites such as pancit canton, lechon, kinilaw, and kare kare. Reviews describe an authentic carenderia vibe with generous portions, friendly and attentive service, and a range of dishes that feel like home cooking, while also noting occasional issues such as limited seating, tricky location, and moments of inconsistency in temperature or seasoning. The menu delights with items like miki, coconut soup with crispy pork, Laing, and a cantaloupe juice, and some experiences highlight special offerings like Kamayan feasts that are interactive and genuinely satisfying. A few visits mention order mix ups or sanitation concerns, but the overall impression is that Buboy offers unique, affordable Filipino comfort food that many would return for, especially the pancit canton, lechon, kinilaw, and bone broth.View restaurant profile

Chungchun Kogo Coreen

Open until 10 pm

(115)

Chinatown

Korean Comfort Food

Mentioned in: Where to Find Cheap Eats in Montreal

Review Summary

Chungchun Kogo Coreen draws mixed reviews: many diners praise the tasty crispy corn dogs with a wide range of sauces and toppings, good value and quick options for a crunchy lunch, and some note especially appealing versions like teriyaki coated or sweet potato pogo; others report long waits, occasional items sold out with few alternatives, and at least one instance of undercooked pogo. Online hours are sometimes wrong, leading to wasted trips. The Downtown location is described as the fastest, while service quality varies with visits, from friendly and attentive to average. Overall Chungchun Kogo Coreen is seen as delivering tasty options and solid value for pogo lovers, but satisfaction can vary by location and visit depending on stock, wait time, and how the staff handles substitutions or shortages.View restaurant profile
