Where is the best West African restaurant in Montreal?
I'd like to try Senegal's thibou dieun (fish and rice).
How can I make a commercial brown sauce better-tasting?
I know that it's already very salty so making it healthier will be difficult, so what can I add it in it to make it taste better?
Best Smoked Salmon in Montreal - where to buy
I always called the New Victoria place "The Greek".
Like in the sentence:" The best smoked salmon in Montreal can be found at the Greek..."
The people there aren't really Greek, huh?
For people who ate Au Pied De Cochon's foie gras poutine, did you eat everything on your plate?
Or were there any leftovers? I just wanna gauge the supposedly titanic portions.
Can one foie gras poutine serve two people?
Brand recommendations for MULTIGRAIN bread (available at grocery stores)???
It's based on nutritional value: if it has white wheat flour in it , it's GTFO.
Same thing if it has too much salt.
Brand recommendations for MULTIGRAIN bread (available at grocery stores)???
Yeah (^_^)!
You better print the list b/c last time they reviewed bread, it was way back in 2000/2001!

A mix of French and Russian cuisine.

I walked on Amherst b/c it was such a nice day.

Anybody went there, sound off!

It's something I've never eaten in my life and I gotta try them.

At Pied de Cochon, is it possible to walk in and get seats right away?
Phew, I thought PDC was one of those extra posh joints.
At Pied de Cochon, is it possible to walk in and get seats right away?
Or is it booked week/months in advance and you gotta get a reservation?
How's the food at Le Boeuf Gourmand on St-Denis?
It's across Café Cherrier.
They have an Entrecôte St-Jean-style one steak menu.
The thing is I always felt bad b/c although it seems like a good place to eat,
I find it always empty every time I walked by... They have good real estate and
good menu according to their website.
Is there something wrong at LBG?

That's minus 1000000 points for hygiene standards...

Where should one buy it?
How's the food at Magnan in Pointe-St-Charles?
I've heard of it since I was a wee one in the oh-so-good-it's-a-sin 80s and walked by it many many times.
Where can I eat good geoducks and razor clams in MTL?
Two shellfishes that I've never tried.
Quickie question: Decent place right on the metro?
been there twice and it was goooood.
What variety are the Chinatown oysters?
Yeah, one of the Beijing waiters brought me a live one and the exact same thought came to my mind: "No way I'm slurping that"
I guess I'm not a HUGE oyster fan huh?
What variety are the Chinatown oysters?
They are huge and so good but the VIP had that all-garlic kind, which is not as good as black bean or ginger -shallots.
Les huîtres... Raaaaaaaaaaah...
