Quartier des Spectacles, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

Seafood/Fish Tartare

Review Summary

Poissonnerie La Mer is widely praised for fresh seafood, including fish, shrimp, lobster, mussels and oysters, with overall high quality and excellent freshness. The store offers convenient free parking, reasonable prices for the quality, and friendly, helpful staff who explain options in detail. Oysters and other products are consistently strong, though there are occasional hiccups such as a price discrepancy resolved quickly by email or a request to cut tuna not always accommodated; these issues are usually handled politely. The salmon, cod and mackerel are highlighted, with some enjoying items prepared to order and others cooking at home, and there are notes about good imported products as well. Some reviews mention a somewhat limited selection and a small inner space, and a few feel the variety can be less exciting for customers used to Asian markets, while others note a recent arrival of Quebec lobster. Advice on shopping times suggests Monday or Tuesday mornings for the best variety. The overall impression is that Poissonnerie La Mer remains a top choice for freshness, price, and breadth of offerings, though ongoing attention to labeling bilingual items could improve accessibility.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Les Crazy Chickens is described in the reviews as delivering delicious, crispy fried chicken with a light coating and juicy texture, a good range of sauces, and friendly, attentive service in a cute setting. Many mentions highlight the chicken as among the best fried chicken they've had recently, with generous portions and appealing sides and sandwiches. A few comments point out downsides, including tiny chicken pieces for some orders and one tasteless burger with extra charges for sauce, which tempered the experience for those customers.

Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG)

Sandwiches Deli

Review Summary

Dagwoods receives mixed feedback with overall appreciation for the subs and fresh ingredients, and some praise for helpful counter staff, but experiences vary by location and employee. Pre orders are intended to save time, yet delays have been reported and there is sometimes little acknowledgement when the order runs late. Some customers describe encounters where staff overlooked requests such as toasting or toppings, leading to waste and frustration, while others report attentive service from a single staff member who handled the rush. Regular diners in NDG and Westmount find the sandwiches satisfying and the bread particularly good, making Dagwoods a reliable option even if service can feel cold or inconsistent at times. The takeaway is that Dagwoods delivers tasty, well built subs, but timing and attention to special requests can be a hit or miss depending on who is serving.View restaurant profile
