Read moreIt's not a 'Cafe' vibe. It's rather big and bright and loud, cafeteria style, as you order at the cash register and then you sit down and they bring you the food. The lighting definitely could use some work. You give your name at the cash when you place the order and when they deliver the food they need to yell the names SUPER loud as the place is so loud. Like crazy loud. I like the personalization of names, but they may want to consider a number/ticket system given their size. I ordered a 7'' veal cutlet sandwich; the fixings on it were good but the veal tasted funky. I have never had a funky tasting veal in an Italian restaurant/cafe before. The bread was just ok, not like a typical awesome bread you get in typical Italian places. French fries were served with a spicy mayo. I took the cover off mine to see that it was actually used - like finished (yuck); the restaurant had obviously recycled what they thought was a full mayo. I pointed it out to the staff, but there was no sense of urgency or concern about this. I ordered a bottle of red wine - they had two choices of table wine, which was fine; I wasn't expecting an extravagant wine list but it was also out-of-the-box warm. Not the end of the world, given it's more of a coffee place but I wanted to review it nonetheless. My friend had a salad which was tossed iceberg, served in a soup bowl type deal. Looked tasty enough. She liked it. This place came highly recommended, it was busy so they have solid following, but I failed to see the value. I love me some great Montreal Italian food, given Montreal's incredible Italian community, but this is more like the fast-food of Italian. I also think smiles from staff go a long way. The staff didn't strike me as a happy team, but that is a reflection of management. Not...
Read moreWhile my experience at Milano was more than a 2, my overall score is for the west island as a whole.
I'm in town for the long weekend, and every time i visit i make sure to stop at Milano. As a native son of Toronto, i have a very discerning taste in cuisine, i usually have to recalibrate my expectations when visiting Montreal but I've always been pleasantly surprised with this cafe. This weekend i visited milanos twice, but not for a good reason. First time Saturday i show up at the door and they're randomly closed in the middle of the day. I couldn't believe it, this is prime time for people going to cafes why on earth would you be closed? So i tried again Sunday and thankfully they were open, but get this. No pistachio croissant. Zero. None. I nearly turned around and walked out, but I had my buddy Sweet Jamees with me who i hadn't seen in 2 hours so wanted to catch up. The conversation did not disappoint, my almond croissant however...
I know infrastructure is a weak point of Quebec, but this time it was off the charts. Seemed like an EMP was set off on the west island. I tried hitting up my buddy Jagwal, text him no answer, go knock on his door but seems like he expected me to show up and turned off all his lights pretending he's not home, messages me a few hours later saying sorry phone died and wasn't able to charge it. Yeah right. Blazin Q went a step further, ditched his house said he's staying at the embassy so couldn't hook up. I figured he meant Niagara falls but he was sitting pretty at the TransCanada embassy. I've never felt so unwelcomed in the west island in my life, can't envision a situation where i come back after this experience.
Mark my words West...
