Overall, Bistrot Montréal-Trudeau is seen as a fairly priced airport dining option with decent food and generally friendly service, though the open, busy setup can feel hectic and limit choices. Counter service at the airport stall is fast, but seating is limited and fills quickly. Dishes such as spaghetti puttanesca are praised, while some bakery items are criticized for texture or value and the croissant or cinnamon bun can be disappointing. Coffee is good but non dairy milk options are lacking. Staff are described as friendly and attentive, with some noting exceptional care from a bartender, though experiences can vary. Travellers with kids may struggle to find universally appealing options, though attempts are made to accommodate. Montreal style bagels and smoked meats are highlighted as a feature, with bagels described as less dense and mildly sweet when toasted; the overall impression is mixed but positive for value and certain items, tempered by expensive pastries and variability in service and airport logistics.View restaurant profile
Marché Hung Phat is widely praised for its banh mi, with many reviewers calling it the best in Montreal and noting a crusty baguette, fresh fillings, house made mayo, and pickled carrots and daikon that stay crunchy. The spot operates as a casual Vietnamese grocery that also serves quick lunches, offering a range of fillings such as grilled chicken, beef, pork, meatball, and tofu skin, plus soups and desserts, all at affordable prices and with an option to add extra meat for a better value. Service is often described as fast and efficient, though a few reviews mention inconsistent portions or a staff member who skims on toppings, and some regret that fillings have grown thinner in recent years and would welcome more generous meat portions or better consistency. Overall the restaurant is seen as a standout choice for banh mi in the city, loved for its flavor, bread texture, and the overall value it delivers to regulars and visitors alike.View restaurant profile
