J'y étais avec une amie l'accueil était chaleureuse leur nourriture o Mon Dieu c'était très très bon, la musique est de niveau acceptable, je vous le conseille chaudement.
Un petit restaurant de quartier où on est accueilli avec bienveillance & bonne humeur malgré mon accent français bien prononcé. La serveuse très amicale a été hyper sympa & efficace. La nourriture y est servi de manière très copieuse avec un rapport qualité-prix imbattable. Je recommande
C'est mon incontournable avant chaque set au STUD les samedis. Être capable de rester ouvert & offrir cette qualité alors que c'est pas le plus beau paysage tout autour, faut le faire. Bravo a ce resto & la gang pour demeurer debout dans tout le tumulte du village.
Un delicatessen de quartier qui a connu il y a quelques années de expansion je crois une ou deux qui est bien établi il y a des Grecs qui télétravail donc les repas grecques sont très bons & & toute une variété un éventail le menu est assez large & le personnel du Courtois est très agréable
Reason I'm giving more stars is that the restaurent has been there for a long time & Montreal east end (village) has become a ghetto. So if you feel the waitress is tough & the service it something else, you will realize that many people leave without paying, you see the waitress run after them. that means the waitress will not be getting the tips from the clients. I say for the ppl who pay, the food is cheap & good. You get value for the money.
