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.

One of our favourite Chinese restos in Montreal is going away at the end of the month. The owners of Baguette d’Ivoire are retiring and have sold the resto to someone else. So there will still be a restaurant there, but it won’t ever be the same. We’ve been trying to go more frequently since [...]

Au Pied du Cochon is one of those contemporary “upscale downscale” restos (as my husband puts it) which overemphasizes its downscale quality while providing upscale food and service.

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 [...]

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.

One of my favourite restaurants in Montreal is Brasserie T!. This contemporary, sexy bistro opened up just last year, and is a “little sister” to Toque! and Olives and Gourmando.

Au Pied du Cochon is one of those contemporary “upscale downscale” restos (as my husband puts it) which overemphasizes its downscale quality while providing upscale food and service. They have a successful schtick, and they sell it with just the right degree of over-the-top glee. It can be hard to get a reservation, so plan ahead.

I’m happy to report that after multiple satisfying exploratory visits, this little dumpling joint is one of the hidden gems of Chinatown.

The new rennovation might improve the kitchen’s efficiency, however some of the former sexy intimacy is lost. Fortunately, the food remains the same.
