Review Summary

Reviews indicate that Munchiz Exotique is not actually open until the afternoon and that a working phone number is unavailable, yet the shop offers a nice variety of unusual sweets and drinks that could make cute gifts. A note mentions the Metropolitain location is not yet listed on Google. The shelves are often empty and staff appear inattentive or distracted, which detracts from the shopping experience. Despite these issues, there is a sense of appreciation for the chain overall, suggesting potential that could be unlocked with improved stock and service.View restaurant profile

Reviews of Monkland Grill describe a casual, welcoming spot with attentive staff and large portions, where pizza, poutine, and Greek inspired dishes are often enjoyed and celebrations can feel personal with BYO wine and cake; while many praise flavorful food and friendly service, experiences vary with some dishes inconsistent and service sometimes slow.

Review Summary
