Authentic southern bbq in montreal
Consider giving Bofinger another chance. For starters, I think you missed out on their best dish, which is the pork ribs. The chicken is a close second. I realize it is difficult to consider revisiting any place given the type of experince you had, but bbq is different. I know they are very choosy with all of their ingredients and everything is from scratch with no MSG, so the quality is there. Each cut of meat is cooking for anywhere from 6-18+ hours, so it may take some time for the kitchen to be completely consistent.
That said, I have a near constant craving for the pork ribs which are as good or better than anything you can get north of the Mason-Dixon line. Remeber these ribs are slow smoked using real hardwood (I've seen the flames and tasted the smoke), so they should be tender but still have a little "chew" (i.e., not completely fall off the bone which is an indication of over-cooking or worse yet - boiling). Also, I caution you 6 ribs is more than any one person needs, although it is a lot of fun to try and eat them all.
Best pizza in MTL
We had a terrible experience at Bottega. The management was generally uncooperative and did not honor our reservation (even after 2 confirmation calls). As a result several of the people we were to dine with were forced to leave. For those who stayed, we were treated to a mediocre meal and sub-par service. There is no reason to suffer through the service at this restaurant when there are so many other really good, really friendly, reasonably priced pizza places in Montreal. If for whatever reason you are really hooked on their pizza, do take out, but my advice is to walk on by - don't to waste your time or money going to Bottega.
