Persian Sandwiches Salads Café

Review Summary

At JAMES PERSE - Côté Cuisine, reviews describe a relaxed spot where coffee and pastries are a strong draw and the salads and bowls are fresh and flavorful, with dressings praised and the ambience adding to the experience, while meals can be inconsistent and pricey.

Review Summary

Overall, Muffins Plus draws mixed feedback: salads are delicious and muffins are incredibly moist with multiple flavors of iced tea, and the menu also includes sandwiches and banana bread. A notable concern is the ice in drinks, with a staff member insisting the scoops were standard while the customer disagreed; the owner later explained the usual ice amount for a medium iced tea and offered a free replacement, which was declined, with the intention of giving the place another chance. One review praised a panini chicken and vegetables and described the waitress as pleasant, while the cashier was described as not pleasant. The overall impression is that muffins and salads are well received and there are many drink options, but customers should feel free to ask for less ice.View restaurant profile

Downtown, Westmount

Grill Fried Chicken Burgers Chicken Wings Middle Eastern

Review Summary

Reviews of Pouletto Restaurant present a mixed picture, with the chicken described as tasty and crispy while service and communication issues frequently overshadow the meal. One account details very poor service, no greeting from a young staff member thought to be the owner's son, no thank you after paying, and a tense moment over condiments as the guest, who does not speak French, struggled to be understood; the wrong drink was brought and corrected after an English request, and the garlicky mayonnaise was tasted at the table. The owner reportedly blamed language barriers for the missteps, and the encounter left the guests unlikely to return. Yet the chicken is praised for frying promptly once ordered, the fries are considered good, and some mark the chicken as possibly the best grilled in Montreal, though the portion experienced was fried and lacked flavor. Overall, clients note solid poultry and fries but uneven service and communication issues that can affect the dining experience.View restaurant profile

Prices are generally good value but can be high at times, with some commentary about price versus portion.
