Reviews describe Pizzeria Moretti as a lively, stylish spot with strong Italian fare where the food is frequently praised for being delicious and fresh, from pasta and pizza to burrata and seafood, while the atmosphere is energetic with a DJ on weekends; however the music is often very loud and conversation can be difficult and some guests find the noise and open windows uncomfortable in hot weather. Service ranges from warm, attentive, and friendly to slow, disorganized, or impersonal, with occasional miscommunication about menus or group bookings and at least one experience of poor handling that dampened the visit. Pricing is generally described as on the higher side, with some items and wine seen as pricey and value not always matching expectations, though portions and some dishes still attract praise; cleanliness and safety were called into question by a rat sighting in one report, while others note the decor and vibe positively. Parking can be challenging, making the overall experience depend on priorities: for those who value food and ambiance, it can be worthwhile, but those seeking a quiet, relaxed meal or consistent service may want to manage expectations or look elsewhere.View restaurant profile
Le Boucan delivers a lively, vintage-style smokehouse experience with a welcoming terrace and a dog-friendly vibe, where generous portions and tender meats such as brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and chicken wings sit beside comforting favorites like poutine, while cocktails are praised and the staff is described as friendly and efficient; the overall atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, and the place is often considered affordable for the quality, with reservations recommended due to its small size. While most visits are highly positive, a few experiences mention a warm dining room, slow or imperfect service, or occasional inconsistencies such as underseasoned coleslaw or a dry brisket. Still, Le Boucan is widely seen as a must-try for BBQ lovers in Montreal, offering strong smokehouse vibes, big flavors, and standout items like the pulled pork poutine, ribs, and tender meats, along with dessert options and a solid cocktail program.View restaurant profile
