Review Summary

Grillade Finty-Laliya receives praise for delicious, well cooked meat and flavorful dishes that are generously portioned and well presented, with a warm welcome and attentive, speedy service that makes it ideal for time spent with family or friends. Regulars travel from Montreal every two weeks just to eat there, underscoring the strong appeal. The menu features delicious grilled chicken with toppings not typically expected in American cuisine, and while the deep fried dough balls are warm and pleasant, they come across as doughy rather than sweet. The ambiance is pleasant and family-friendly. One notable drawback is that the space can feel freezing cold in February, so wearing warm clothing or sitting near the ovens is advised.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Cabane à Sucre Gagnon offers a warm, intimate atmosphere with very friendly staff, and the sesame bread and pouding chômeur are noted as excellent. Beyond that, the rest of the experience falls short: the pea soup tastes like nothing, the salad is OK, the beans with lard are too runny, too dark and overly sweet from molasses, the omelette has no flavor and is overcooked, the ham is passable but not much, with little bacon only in the salad, and the house sausages are basically boiled hot dogs cut into pieces with a hint of maple syrup. The whole meal lasts about an hour and a half, and the maple candy on snow was not pursued. It is a nice, intimate spot with a lot of potential, but the food is disappointing.View restaurant profile

Cinéma Moderne is described as an intimate, small repertory cinema with a strong program of independent, art-house and world films and occasional retrospectives that invite discovery. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a bar and cafe that serve good coffee and beers, popcorn, and brief staff introductions to films that add a hint of personality, even as some find the drink prices high and the overall value not always matched by the cost. Seating is a common point of contention, praised for its coziness but criticized for uncomfortable chairs and limited neck support, with some reviewers noting a desire for upgrades while others appreciate the charm of the space and the focus on the film; a few comments mention minor issues like occasional bugs and the need to arrive early due to a small venue. The programming and audience culture are often highlighted, including a no-phone policy during screenings, a respectful crowd, multilingual trigger warnings, and the chance to explore titles not easily found elsewhere, which makes it ideal for cinephiles and those seeking a quiet night with friends. A practical caveat is the venue's cancellation policy, which does not offer refunds or exchanges for cancellations, a factor to consider given the advance booking required for this intimate setting.View restaurant profile
