panchulita's Profile
El Jíbaro, Eche pa Echarle and other hole-in-wall Peruvians in north end?
Precision: I remember Eche pa' echarle being on St-Dominique and Gounod before it moved to its St-Hubert in 1997-1998. The photos of Luis Eche holding the huge fish in his St-Hubert restaurant were taken there. Melchorita subsequently opened on Gounod around 1998.
Where did "Curry House" Ben go?
I was there tonight and the place looked great. The food was fabulous as usual. Ben hasn't lost his touch. The place was very crowded for a Sunday so I hope more and more people find out about his new digs. He also added a few new items on the menu. I had a fish curry, very tasty.
Restaurant Openings - 2009
Flap-Flap will be officially opening at 1575 Fleury east (between Papineau and Christophe-Colomb) on November 4 2009. They've been unoficially opened now for a few weeks. They serve Carribean food. http://www.flapflap.ca/ I tried the griot (or gryot?), the best I've had in Montreal so far.
Best Mexican
I agree with you about Cactus. I'd rather pay a little more to get better quality food. I find their fajitas out of this world.
peruvian?
My favorite is Eche pa' Echarle followed by Via Wellington. I went not to long ago to el Limon Verde on Masson street. The menu was smaller. Tried the ceviche, it got a passing mark, I plan on going back with some friends to try the lomo saltado.
