Little-Italy, Villeray-Saint-Michel

Review Summary

Overall, the reviews portray Banh Mi Madame Ly as a reliable neighborhood spot offering a broad menu of Vietnamese favorites from banh mi to pho, dumplings, spring rolls and more, with many dishes praised for freshness, hearty flavors and generous portions at solid value. The place is described as welcoming, with friendly, attentive service and a clean, unpretentious vibe, and many diners say they will return, praising fast service and convenient takeout options. Some notes of inconsistency appear, including delivery arriving cold or meals that veer toward too much sweetness or sauce, and a few visits where a dish was not perfect, but most guests still find the food tasty and satisfying. The restaurant also gets credit for vegetarian and gluten free options, and for being a convenient spot for both dine in and takeout, with a location near the Beaubien metro and a busy lunch crowd. Taken together, it comes across as a dependable favorite for good, honest Vietnamese fare in Montréal.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

LeDon Donburi feels like a tiny, cozy Japanese haven in the city, a hidden treasure where the atmosphere, food and staff often come together to create a homey and welcoming dining experience. The bowls are consistently flavorful and fresh, with generous portions and a variety of donburi, takoyaki, gyoza, korokke and karaage, plus seasonal items and a selection of well crafted cocktails and mocktails, with mentions of a dessert option and umeshu as a plus. Guests note quick, friendly service and attentive staff who accommodate allergies and make guests feel at ease; reservations are advised because of the limited seating, especially for date nights. The ambiance is described as intimate and authentic, with anime inspired decor and a vibe that transports diners toward Japan, making it a place to revisit with friends or loved ones. While a few reviews point to small portions or a tonkatsu that was not perfectly fluffy and sometimes busy crowds, the overall impression is of good value, consistent quality and a genuine passion from the team, encouraging repeat visits and recommendations.View restaurant profile
