Bar à Pâtes Lulu's Quartier Latin / Lulu's Pasta Bar — Restaurant in Montreal

This is a common concept in Italy but foreign to Canada - quality pasta served in a casual atmosphere. I've had this format at a couple places in Toronto so it's cool to see a new casual pasta chain rise up in Montreal too. We typically think of pasta as a dish that is strictly served in dine-in restaurants, with western-style spaghetti as a possible exception. I love how Lulu's smashes that idea to pieces. The pastas they are serving up here are of dine-in quality. Wonderful sauces, good ingredients and most importantly quality pasta being used. There is adequate seating here but after I got my spot I did see some people unable to find seating, so might be a struggle during busier times. The staff provided great customer service too. Pricing is average, couple bucks more than I think it should have been but nothing insane. If this were a slightly better deal I'd bless it...

This was a great experience at a truly unique and authentic fresh pasta spot. They specialize in three distinct types of freshly made pasta, and since we were a group of three, we were able to try a different kind each. The person at the cash register was incredibly kind and helpful, taking the time to explain the different pastas and how their simple menu works. Once we placed our order, we were amazed at how quickly it was prepared and brought to our table. The quantity was surprisingly generous—far more than we anticipated for the price—and it was also a great value. The meal was so satisfying and filling that it kept us full for the rest of the day. We had it for a late lunch and were still so content that we only needed a small snack for dinner that evening. This is a place I'd highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality, handmade pasta in a great...

The concept is great: real pastas at an affordable price. And they do a fantastic job on many levels: they deliver a huge portion of homemade pastas at a really good price with great service in a great environment. I really wanted to like it, but I know the taste of real high quality pastas and sauces so I did not enjoy my meals there very much. What they offer is great for the price, but just doesn't work for me. The main culprit is they throw cream in almost all their pastas and cream in pasta is a sin in in Italy for a good reason. It feels rich so the American palate like it, but it actually makes trash quality sauces without depth of flavor and quality ingredients. The pastas are also disappointing for...
