Is this a good idea or do you have a suggestion for dinner before the play at the Segal Centre, tomorrow night? Thanks naturelle Sun, 19 May 2013 21:15:09 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/902541#8084322 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/902455#8084238 Just a note that Chinatown is right at Place d'Armes and very stroller friendly, although it might not be what you're looking for in terms of an elegant meal. Lots of good food there and you wouldn't have to rush to do an early dinner.

I guess those of us who live here are spoiled as far as that kind of food goes, so we take it for granted, and gravitate to newer places. cherylmtl Sun, 19 May 2013 18:33:36 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/902240#8084079 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/703682#8084058 $19 a dozen this past week. cherylmtl Sun, 19 May 2013 18:23:03 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/703682#8084058 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/902071#8083890 Ooo, thanks.

I'll probably check it out later today. I'll let you know... jay_81k Sun, 19 May 2013 15:00:58 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/882162#8083795 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/866543#8083602 Tripolis(Greek)Restaurant 679 Rue Saint Roch, Montreal. Lamb and table wine are both excellent. mphdap Sun, 19 May 2013 12:17:36 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/866543#8083602 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/881612#8082778 I agree with you some of offerings are too small to count as a meal so amount spent adds up. The two big sausages on top of green beans and spinach (?mange ma)was better sizewise than tacos but I think you have to look at visually what people are buying to be sure.. Maybe it is the novelty that appeals although I did like the taste of what I ordered, mangoannie Sat, 18 May 2013 20:38:50 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/881612#8082778 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/900518#8082375 I had pretty much the same experience 2-3 weeks ago. Good food, good price but very noisy and rather slow. I don't think they can do anything about the noise. There was no music, nor a table of drunks, and the restaurant was maybe 75% full but it was still very noisy. Speed is definitely something they should improve though. I think we were there for a good hour and a half.

Apparently they have free tapas on Thursday and Friday. Oh, looks like it's just jazz on Tuesdays.

I've always thought it was underrated but the price I guess makes it properly rated. It is expensive but the food and preparation is high quality -- no flat dishes here, and the desserts are great. Ask the chef to pair a bottle of sake with your meal.

The 10 inch flour tortillas contain the following ingredients: Enriched white flour, water, canola oil, salt, baking powder, potassium sorbate, sodium propionate, monoglycerides, sodium stearil-2-lactylate, fumaric acid, maltodextrine, cellulose gum, carraghenine, l-cysteine chlorohydrate. It looks like a 'local' industrial-scale operation. They sell them at Bonanza and Mayrand among other grocery stores. Not fresh and simple though.

Has anyone tried it?

I know they have rice cakes in the poutine and in the ramen, but do they also have just the tteokbokki with the sauce? And do you happen to know the price? withaflourish Fri, 17 May 2013 01:58:59 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/902242#8079921 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/878771#8079844 Thanks - I'd thought of them but the few times I've been there I found portions a bit meagre, though I love their fattouch. kpzoo Fri, 17 May 2013 01:18:22 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/878771#8079844 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/471190#8079681 Yes! Vieille Europe on St. Laurent caries this. It's pricey, but it is there for you.

Every wednesday for 4 to 6 people, 6 services + wine for 95$.

That said, I don't know of any resto in Montreal that does traditional Abruzzese food like scrupelle/scripelle imbus, timballo, caggionetti, ravioli pretarole (AKA lead pellets), etc. When I need my fix, I go to my mom's, mother-in-law's, or aunt's homes and mooch off them. La Molisana seems to do traditional Italian with none of the Abruzzi specialties. I don't know enough about the food from Campobasso to know if their menu has specialties from that region.
