Messorem — Restaurant in Montreal

Visited for the first time on a lazy Saturday afternoon. I had seen something on Instagram in regards to their release of the barrel aged stouts and I knew I needed to make the trek. I was not disappointed and in fact, I will definitely be visiting again - and again - and again.

After a long walk from Verdun - I for some reason couldn't triangulate the location in my brain - I finally arrived, to pretty much my old stomping grounds. I realized I could have taken the 36 bus and walked down through the park and across the bridge. Alas, it was a nice day and I earned my drinks.

I arrived, and entered a doorway into a large mess hall of sorts, with plenty of seating and spaces for socializing and relaxing. This area also has a retail space and the large counter to order your drinks. Before I even started exploring I ordered the #29, a barrel aged stout that was unbelievably delicious and unctuous, coating the sides of the glass. They only serve half sizes of this one because it is rather high in alcohol.

I walked through the covered terrace and outside, it was still March chilly but the sunshine was spectacular. There are picnic tables and Adirondack chairs throughout and plenty of people were already enjoying the warmer weather.

After a while, it does get a little chilly so I gathered up and went inside. So many kids! It felt like a daycare - and a lifeline for parents/guardians. I loved the energy and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time, either in couples, groups and families. Truly a space for everyone.

I had 2 more delicious drinks, spoke with a few people. Just a fabulous place. I...

Smash Burgers are just better... Please try to change my mind and let me tell you why you're wrong!

I've had many a burger in my life from 9oz double stacked patties with cheese and bacon to the thinnest of Smash Burgers that are crisper then a chip. Here at @mitchdeli_messorem you get something right in the middle of that.

Absolutely a show stopping smash burger. You need to check out my buddies spot its amazing and grab a craft beer while you're there. I love a smash burger that come out piping hot. From the meat, to the bun, just holding this thing might burn your hands, but that's what you want! A smash burger that's cool when you bite into it, is not a real smash burger. It needs to be hot.

Perfectly cook patties, nice and even cook, crispy, great eat tecture and very juicy still. What looks like to be American cheese, again perfect. Some Pickles, a little onion and a sauce to tie it all together... That's all she wrote folks! Perfection in a bun.

My buddy also recommended I get the poutine, and at first I was like ok Yaya it's a poutine you had one you had them all... I was so wrong, this is one of my favourite poutine I've had yet in MTL. Sauce, fries and cheese, amazing combo and flavour! I see what you're talking about @maxime_gagne_ very good!

10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for great food and some great beer. Sick vibe, FOODGASMIC...

We have been to hundreads of breweries and this has got to be in my top few. Part of it is that I am partial to good sours on the sweet side and complex hazies. Not only did they have both but they were some of the best I have had.

The 20 - Somnia Extererri Mango smoothy sour was so rich sweet and sour that it reminded me of a tropical cocktail but I would rather this one. No notes. The 6 - Above the Nuage hazy IPA and the 10 - Commutatio hazy IPA were both super hazy and fruity that you couldnt see even through the sample. It was complex and bright. Just what I look for in hazies.

The seating was amazing too. Plenty of varied seating from long couches that could hold big groups, to picnic benches, and even a few single seating on the side. Even with the heat, the trees blocked out most of the sun so it was always a good tempurature without needing unbrellas

The line would go from a few people to out the door quickly but they went through them pretty fast. When there arent many people (and depending on the bartender) they give samples which was how we got to find some of these great ones, but when its long they tend to shy away from samples so wait for it to calm down if you want some.

I hope I can come back to Montreal again some time to come back to this one. I will miss it and recomend it to...
