We put our luggage in Mengcun and rested for a while. We went to a famous poutine shop (La Banquise) for dinner. The shop was small and crowded. We waited for almost an hour before we got a seat. We listened to the French we couldn't understand, smelled the unique aroma, and felt the strong French culture. The portion was large, the taste was good, and the price was reasonable. We must eat poutine in its birthplace. We finished eating at around 10 o'clock, but there were more people lining up...
A famous local fast food restaurant. I don't know if it's a chain. There were quite a lot of people at noon. There were some simple sandwiches and vegetable salads. 'Martin is delicious.

Vieux-Port Steakhouse (19 dollars) has French cuisine. The steaks and pork chops are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The salads, soups and side dishes are homely. The desserts are not good, but the nutty flavor of the mashed potatoes is quite interesting.
I was walking around Old Montreal and was craving steak so I decided to try this place. I ordered the prime rib rare and it was perfect! Cooked the way I like it, charred on the outside, a little red in the middle, and juicy.

The Keg steakhouse - Professional steak eater [good]~~Steak is still the best when it comes to medium or medium rare [flowery] [applause] The bread before the meal tastes good, especially the whipped butter [love you]
A small shop that is decorated like a small garden. It feels good to have afternoon tea in the afternoon. The small courtyard outside is very suitable for sitting in the open air to drink coffee and eat cake. If you are interested, you can try it.

Very good buffet with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. We went there in the afternoon for our main meal of the day. A good selection of healthy plant based proteins

The restaurant's live environment is very good, the music is soothing and does not hinder everyone's chatting. I prefer meat, so I ordered chicken. The chicken tastes very good and tender.

The restaurant environment is quite good, and there is a bar. You can have a drink at the bar in the evening, and in the afternoon as well. You can just tell your name and let the people in the bar prepare it for you.
Best restaurant in Old Montreal. Delicious crepes on tap, live music, great back garden patio, lively atmosphere, multilingual wait staff, and reasonable prices (can be hard to get a seat in high season). A jazz trio performs most weekends, one of whom looks a lot like Bono. There is an upside-down umbrella on the patio so that patrons don't get wet at any time of day. Open May to October.

I ordered my favorites, pan-fried foie gras, pan-fried abalone, black truffle, caviar, and the main course was wood-grilled T-bone lamb chops. They were all very good. The wine was Sauvignon blanc, which was amazing.
Thank you Sacha for your service and advice on wine and meal. Beautiful restaurant with excellent food. Looking forward to seeing you again next time.

A nice, small and cozy cafe in the heart of Old Montreal. You'll find exquisite sweets and specialty coffees, each of which is a work of art.
