when i say my sister came back here TWICE in one day, im being completely serious! food was so comforting & well portioned for the price. Inside, the staff is very friendly & the service was great. Food was also very quick! The bun was perfect & very generously stuffed. All came with a side salad which was refreshing (don't know the sauce that went on it but it was so good!). We absolutely love this place & it's definitely worth checking out!

They no longer have those beautiful paintings. The new owner should decorate a bit. The music could be a bit better, reggaeton & autotune

Un de nos restaurants préférés à Montréal. J'adore faire découvrir le restaurant à de nouvelles personnes. Tout les plats sont savoureux. Nous avons vraiment apprécié le spécial 2/1 sur les consommations d'alcool, c'est une promotion qui revient à l'occasion. Ne changez jamais la recette de la sauce verte, c'est un pur délice!
