Bistro on the Avenue
Mar 29, 2009 by phil roberts from westmount
Overall Rating: 4
Food:[3] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[5]

• NA.
• The washrooms, the music and the food is always inconsistent.

“I used to frequent the Bistro once or twice a month, but I have now found that in the last two or three months that the quality has somewhat depreciated. I would almost say that it seems that the Bistro has simply because tired and that the staff that appears to be working there seems the same. Although we all know that it is a landmark, sometimes you need to just know when it is time to Throw in the towel.”

Taj (Le)

• Amazing food, service and ambiance.
• Can't taste everything all at once; must come back!

“It has a gorgeous décor, more precisely its main wall proudly displays remains of the Expo 67 Indian pavilion. Tourists actually come to Le Taj specifically for that! Moreover, Le Taj prepares a lot of its specialties in house: the naan, the kulfi, the tea, which are also the most popular sellers, so you know that Le Taj has figured out the right recipe and will offer nothing but fresh products.”

Ritz-Carlton Montreal

Overall Rating: 5

• Anglo-tinted traditional "class" in the heart of Montreal's Golden Square Mile.
• THe food, unfortunately also reflects its anglo ambiance. Very ordinary traditional Anglo-Saxon fare, over-cooked but served in expensive China-ware.

“The Ritz is the home of the Anglo establishment in Montreal - weddings, Barmitzvas, up-scale high-school graduations, business meetings etc. But it also pulls in many international visitors.It's ambience is very traditional English-Montreal, with obsequious service, lots of expensive cutlery, and waiters in black tie. It is currently being completely renovated and is closed (Summer 2008 to ??? 2010). IT will reopen in a new posture, in an effort to retain and recapture its position of a great Montreal luxury hotel and hospitality establishment.”

• Hot people, great food and drink, trendy!
• Long wait, a bit loud.

“Love this place! Great food and drinks to a techno beat. After dinner, it changes to a club and you'll be drinking with the hot servers and hostess! Dress up and look your best, this place is for the fashionable and trendy. If you are a business traveler looking for an upscale swanky atmosphere, this place is upscale cool. A good value for your money? Well, its pricey, but delicious! If you don't really care about the price, this is good food. I had the red snapper and it was some of the best around. My friends had veal and something else (roast beef?) and loved their dishes too. We all tasted each other's food, and I can vouch for their dishes, awesome. Since we were three guys hanging out, we loved the hot bartenders and servers with legs up to there! A good way to start a night out on the town. Service was slow, had to wait for a table at the bar, but we didn't mind too much. They were packed on a Saturday night!”

• Nice atmosphere&
• Terrible server!

“I went there with my girlfriend to have a drink on the balcony upstairs. They gave us seats closer to the wall rather then the edge of the street. When I asked them if we could switch, the server told me those seats are for eating patrons only. I asked him for a couple drinks and an ashtray. The drinks and ashtray didn't show up for nearly 20 minutes! The server even walked right passed us and said nothing while we were waiting, and ignored us when we left! Terrible servers. At least to us little guys. They served people ashtrays and drinks who were ordering food quick as ever!”
