Montreal Food Review: Honest Takes & Must-Tries!

1️⃣ Mondavis (Jazz Spot) 📍 Great vibe, mediocre food Starters: ✔️ Beef Tartare: Runny egg yolk + toast = best bite! ❌ Garlic Escargot: Tiny snails, bland butter sauce 💔 ✔️ Onion Soup: Tomato-based with melted cheese (not too heavy) Mains: ❌ Lamb Chop: Underseasoned, boring sauce ❌ Scallop Pasta: Tastes like frozen pasta + a few scallops 👎 Verdict: ✔️ Cool for live jazz at night ❌ Skip if you actually want good food 2️⃣ La Bouquise (Poutine Legend) 📍 24-hour cheesy goodness Must-order: La Royal (pulled pork + bacon + apples) ✔️ Sweet & salty combo cuts through the grease ❌ Still heavy—share with a friend! 3️⃣ Ma Poule Mouillée (Portuguese Chicken) 📍 Across from La Bouquise Chicken Leg + Spicy Sauce: ✔️ Juicy meat (but sauce isn’t spicy at all 🌶️🚫) ❌ More fries than chicken, leaves you thirsty Verdict: Nando’s does it better 4️⃣ Schwartz’s Deli (Smoked Meat Sandwich) 📍 Famous but…meh Smoked Meat Sandwich: ❌ Just salty meat + mustard on bread 🥪💤 ✔️ Better as a beer snack—don’t make it a meal 💡 Final Tips: ✔️ Only La Bouquise is worth lining up for! ✔️ The rest? Take pics and leave 😂 ✔️ Save stomach space for better eats! #MTLFoodTruth #OverratedEats #EatLikeALocal
