One of the hidden gems on campus is the ice cream stand run by McGill’s Engineering Undergraduate Society in, you guessed it, the engineering building (McConnell).

On occasion, I get lunch from the takeout law school café , located in the basement bowels of Chancellor Day Hall. It usually has snacks, salads, two soups, and juicy roast chicken quarters. There might be sandwiches there, too, not to mention several kinds of coffee and other beverages in the cooler. Food quality is what you’d expect from on-campus dining.

Formerly known as Rumi Grill, Rumi Express is basically the same but with cheap-looking table card menus and ketchup bottles on every table. The previously problems with ventilation – leaving diners smelling strongly of smokey barbecue – have since been fixed.

This is a fairly new Cuban bistro in the suburbs. First thing’s first: skill is needed for maneuvering the oddly organized parking lot in the back of the restaurant.

While we spent time looking through the Alexander Calder exhibit afterwards, we specifically went to the museum to have lunch at the café.

Buried on the second floor of an unassuming little mall in Chinatown lies a bustling, no-frills dimsum resto. My go-to dimsum resto in Chinatown.

It’s hard to find good Mexican food north of the border – the US-Mexican border, that is. So imagine our surprise when we found one. This is definitely a hole-in-the-wall. It doesn’t look like much, but when the food starts coming, you feel really good that you came. We ordered the chef’s tasting platter for [...]

This is a busy bistro on the very edge of Old Montreal, just a stone throw’s distance from where the Occupy Montrealers had set up this fall.

Like many low-key Montreal restos, it doesn’t look like much from the outside, and it doesn’t look like much on the spartan brick interior. Fortunately, the food speaks louder than anything else.
