Fri Jan 02 09:48:01 -0800 2009 11610 BLM 1 4290634 Gandhi Royal Cari, on St-Laurent north of Fairmount, is now closed. We used to like this restaurant quite a lot and had been going there for years, but our last experience in last November was a disaster. Decoration had been removed from the walls (guess they were getting ready to close), we were the only customers and it took forever to receive our subpar cold dishes... Fri Jan 02 14:45:18 -0800 2009 4289816 207118 plumeria 2 4535175 Fortunately there are still three other Indian restaurants all on that same block. (Porte de l'Inde, Palais d'Inde, and Maison Cari Golden.) It's still somewhat unsettling though... Hopefully new restaurants will open up soon. They could use a lebanese place around there, and sushi wouldn't hurt either. Tue Mar 24 18:01:57 -0700 2009 4290634 248163 Joel_L 1 4345067 Sur le Pouce which is basically a la belle province type restaurant, on Cremazie just east of St-Laurent, seems to have closed. I doubt any tears will be shed. But they just opened in August and my friend had commented on how the location really sucked and before we knew it they were closed. I had been meaning to try their poutine though just in case it was a hidden gem. Wed Jan 21 12:31:39 -0800 2009 4289816 161693 blond_america 1 4397251 Looks like Sushi Yu Mi didn't make it through the winter. There's a banner up announcing a new Al Taïb location. Sat Feb 07 20:10:09 -0800 2009 4289816 18488 SnackHappy 1 4397264 That would make 4 Al Taib locations within 1 blocks of Guy/ de Maisonneuve, no? The Tim Horton's strategy? Sat Feb 07 20:20:57 -0800 2009 4289816 262240 everyonelovessushi 2 4397429 So I'm guessing all the Al Taib locations are company-owned(none of them franchises), being so close together? Sat Feb 07 22:40:12 -0800 2009 4397264 11610 BLM 2 4397942 this one is called "Grillades al taib" so i guess theyre going for something a little different this time Sun Feb 08 07:49:14 -0800 2009 4397264 14181 celfie 2 4407282 Don't forget there's also one in the peel metro tunnel (when you enter from rue Stanley).

Sun Feb 08 07:45:42 -0800 2009 4397467 10520 carswell 1 4397920 I don't know if Mr. Spicee closed but when I passed 2 days ago the name was Spicees and there was a sign advertising their specialties (pholouries, doubles, etc). On that same block a lot of little hole-in-the-wall Jamaican and Caribbean places have cropped up. Sun Feb 08 07:38:07 -0800 2009 4289816 12421 hungryann 2 4398470 I brought it up on this board about a month or two, that Mr. Spicee is now Spicees, but people still kept calling them Mr. Spicee on this board. Maybe they believe you, when you say it. Sun Feb 08 12:14:18 -0800 2009 4397920 11610 BLM 1 4407079 According to hubby, CFCF News has reported that the venerable Picasso's in NDG on St-Jacques has closed suddenly, without notifying staff first. Employees say they hadn't been paid in two weeks, and showed up to locked doors. Very sad to lose an institution that's been around since 1979, serving up reliably hearty - if not gourmet - breakfasts 24 hours a day. Until recently, they'd been considered recession-proof, serving up 40,000 eggs a week. RIP Picasso's.

They were closed today, & I see some newspapers outside piled up a bit & snow not cleared in their terrace area. Sat Mar 14 16:13:26 -0700 2009 4289816 11610 BLM 2 4526536 Looks like that Bardeco is indeed closed. I walk past it everyday and haven't seen any sign of life in it for weeks. Too bad they were good but I think they charged too much for their pizzas. Sat Mar 21 20:39:20 -0700 2009 4505219 263763 jonny8 3 4602477 I just checked with Bardeco - they told me that their dining room is closed, but they're still doing takeout and delivery pizza. Not sure if it's at the same address, but it is the same phone number. Thu Apr 16 15:18:00 -0700 2009 4526536 19331 cherylmtl 1 4505774 There's brown paper across many a business these days. Restaurants, I would imagine, would be on the cutting edge of closure during a recession/depression. That's what's happening and it will only get worse before it gets better. Living a delusion will almost always come back and bite you on the bottom. Sat Mar 14 20:41:21 -0700 2009 4289816 262240 everyonelovessushi 2 4512598 No kidding. I thought bars were fairly immune, though, and maybe even pubs (real ones, not the fancy above-Ste-Catherine nonsense) were doing better -the logic being people need to commiserate when times are tough. I thought wrong. A friend of mine serving in a pub told me this wkend that the volume and thus tips have been down 50% this year. The bars still look full enough, but people are barely drinking. Restaurants... far from full. In closing/opening news, the cafe that closed at St-Laurent and Guilbault late last year now has a sign promising a Cafe Noir opening soon. Good luck, especially with the Second Cup right next door. It's hard enough being in the hospitality biz any time, to be opening one now, as everyonelovessushi said, you must be delusional.

It lasted barely a year. It has been replaced by another Pakistani/Indian resto called Tandoor et Grille and a few doors down what used to be Shed Tandoor is now Apni Haweli. I found this website that reviews quite a few obscure restaurants: http://restoplanet.net/index.php?pr=Home_Page I don't know if I ave stumbled on a gem of a ressource in order to identify places that are flying under the radar or if it's a dud.

Just returned from a weekend in Montreal. Last trip in was for a New Year's celebration. I went in to Old Montreal to Rue de la Commune for honey balls and/ or a Volcano, but found L'Espirit de Carnival at #123 Rue de la Commune closed and repainted. Beaver tails and Quelle de Castor were still in operation at #127. Did this just close in 2009, or has this been gone for a while? I had been to it on several trips and remember reading a reference to it in Barry Lazar's book.

While Access Asia may not have been stellar, it was at least serviceable and convenient to the campus. Sorry to see the already short list of McGill options shrink even further.

So score another one for douches who should stay in the 'burbs... then again, staying open past 3 has been a not-so-secret semi-regular thing, so it could be just the excuse the city needed. Fri Jul 03 10:29:10 -0700 2009 4289816 244720 Shattered 2 4855799 Uhm, anyone who knows the history of Montreal knows that the area around Rue St-Laurent was and still is residential. It's only in very recent history that noisy all-night commercial establishments have replaced daytime retail stores on the street. To pretend people who have lived there far longer than any of these crap shoot money grabs have existed should move to the suburbs is a joke.

Was taking public transit to the screening of La Strada and so couldn't investigate, but I detoured on my way back home to check. Turns out they're renovating (strange as that seems for a resto that has not been open very long) and will be closed until early August. Phew!

It became a curiosity to me as to how it stayed opened so long with almost no business. It'll be missed for this reason. On a side note there's a sign up outside saying it will soon be a Bofinger location. I love pulled pork, ribs all that BBQ type food. My weight should double and my bank account halve once it opens.

I have NOT tried their chicken yet - this must be remedied soon. A Portuguese couple I know who have a small (non-food) business say they like Alentejo's chicken and pick it up when too busy to cook after work, but again, this is but a second-hand recommendation.

Nice renovation - brighter and roomier, especially in the kitchen, with gates to direct traffic. They seem to have expanded daily specials, too, now offering a few choices instead of one.

Next to the door was a large sign, a menu with pictures, that I don't recall seeing before. "La Casbah" was written across the top, so the space may live on in a new (Algerian?) iteration.

Why do restaurant staff think we want loud music while we eat and chat? Tue Oct 20 18:20:54 -0700 2009 5115979 228296 williej 1 5125406 does anyone know if india beau village on du parc is closed? Fri Oct 23 10:12:07 -0700 2009 4289816 14181 celfie 2 5126683 I don't think so. I passed by a few days ago and it looked the same as always...empty. Fri Oct 23 19:55:26 -0700 2009 5125406 12421 hungryann 2 5126716 india beau village is in such a horrible location (unless you live close by) it's hard to imagine how it's still open. It's way off the Indian strip (Jean -Talon) stuck in a sort of no mans land. Not much commerce, not much residential property (no people). I lived on Esplanade above Beaubien as a young adult and it's a not a bad area just very discombobulated by the railroad tracks, the Park Ave/JeanTalon axis and the weird mix of residential and dilapidated commerce. That being said it's a real chowhound find if the food is good. Fri Oct 23 20:20:00 -0700 2009 5125406 262240 everyonelovessushi 3 5126740 There are 2 locations. The original is on Jarry and it seems busier but then again it's also 1/5 the size of the one on Parc. Fri Oct 23 20:34:32 -0700 2009 5126716 12421 hungryann 4 5126863 i heard it closed despite having dined there last week.

Sat Oct 24 09:18:01 -0700 2009 5127425 11610 BLM 1 5165436 not an official closing, but I walked by m and m legende bakery in chinatown, and it was all boarded up. hopefully just for renovations? Sun Nov 08 13:55:17 -0800 2009 4289816 1113414 sharkbait88 2 5167136 Yes, I passed by today, there is a sign that says they are renovating, opened again Sept. 15. Mon Nov 09 09:27:15 -0800 2009 5165436 119196 sweettoothMTL 1 5165820 I was on Metcafe and noticed that the Dominion Pub had its windows covered in brown paper and the sign was gone. I'm wondering? This is Montreal oldest pub. Sun Nov 08 17:01:46 -0800 2009 4289816 259263 bigfellow 2 5166305 Reportedly being transformed into a bar -- to be called Taverne Square Dominion -- by the owners of Whisky Café/Baldwin Barmacie. Sun Nov 08 22:20:04 -0800 2009 5165820 10520 carswell 3 5166324 I know that they had bought the building. The old owner said that it was to use the upstairs area as offices. But he had no business except at lunch. Sun Nov 08 22:33:01 -0800 2009 5166305 259263 bigfellow
