Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines

Review Summary

Cabane à Sucre Paquette draws a mixed set of reviews, with some diners praising the service as excellent and the meals tasty, including the ham, and recommending it as a good family spot, while others describe concerns about portion sizes in the all-you-can-eat concept, feeling that small portions to avoid waste led to hesitation to ask for more and made the experience uncomfortable, especially given the price. The experience is described as lengthy, with long waits at times even for those with reservations, and at least one beer served past its date that the management did not refund or exchange, leaving a negative impression for some. Seating on benches is reported as uncomfortable, and the overall pace can feel slow, though several reviews still note that the place is enjoyable for a family outing with solid service and decent food.View restaurant profile

Turkish Middle Eastern Sandwiches Salads Kebab

Review Summary

Reviews describe Antep Kabab as a standout in downtown Montreal, with fresh, authentic kebab sandwiches and bread baked on site, featuring well seasoned meat grilled to tender, smoky flavors. The chicken sandwich is frequently praised as a top choice and many consider it the best in town, while the filet mignon sandwich is noted for flavor but can be hard to chew and portions are sometimes felt to be small for the price. Value and pricing are mixed, with some diners calling it fairly priced and filling while others note price increases and reduced portions, and cash payments are mentioned by some reviewers. Service and atmosphere are described as casual and friendly, though busy times can bring longer waits and a bustling, crowded feel. Many regulars travel to Montreal specifically for these kebabs or order takeout, highlighting consistent quality, homemade bread, and the overall appeal of the place despite the simple decor.View restaurant profile

Mediterranean Turkish Grill Seafood/Fish

Review Summary

Restaurant Buffet hunkar istanbul offers a very large and diverse buffet that spans Turkish, Mediterranean and Maghrebi influences, with a wide array of salads, meats, seafood, desserts, fruits and traditional pastries, and many dishes are well presented and regularly replenished. Grills on wood fire and prepared to order are a standout feature. The ambiance is clean, warm and family friendly, and the staff is generally attentive and professional. Prices are frequently described as high for a buffet, though many feel the breadth, freshness and quality justify it, while others call the pricing inconsistent. A few reviews mention occasional dishes not as fresh or a few complaints about interior design or authenticity, and there is a hygiene-related concern noted by one reviewer, but these are not universal. The venue is popular for celebrations and events, with positive mentions of Ramadan iftar experiences. Overall, it is often regarded as one of Montreal's best buffets, offering generous portions, a wide variety and a welcoming service that makes guests likely to return.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Labonté de la Pomme offers a welcoming family-friendly orchard experience with apple picking, pumpkins and a variety of fruits at prices that are reasonable compared with other touristy options. The grounds feature a small animal farm, a shop with local products, and opportunities to taste cider, pastries and cheese toast. Visitors praise the friendly staff who answer questions and share ideas for cooking with apples and pears, and many note it as a yearly family tradition. The terrain is gently sloped, parking is free, and the setting feels cozy and scenic for a casual visit or a meal. A few observations for improvement include the noise from apple boxes near dining areas on Sundays and a fire area without fencing, which some see as safety issues to address. Overall, the experience is positive, with good variety of fruits and products, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes guests want to return.View restaurant profile
