One of the more famed dishes is the chicken waffle that comes with a boneless fried chicken, a side of spicy sriracha coleslaw and a bowl of fresh fruits. The portions here are huge and the cozy and bright decor keeps residents and visitors coming back for more."

"What you're getting: Squash and poppy seed gnocchi (or any brunch dish)Mile EndFit for Mile End (read: hip), Barcola is a small resto-bar that prides itself on making dishes reminiscent of of meals made in Northern Italy. Each and every day, Head Chef Fabrizio Caprioli creates a menu featuring just three appetizers and three mains. A large part of Barcola's culinary reputation stems from the restaurant's original creation of squash and poppy seed gnocchi topped with butter, sage, and smoked ricotta."

"Chef Fabrizio Caprioli serves up the flavours of northern Italy, including eggplant pizza and seafood tagliatelle that tastes like a trip to the Adriatic. It’s a charming modern Mile End spot, with daily specials changing throughout the week, special events such as aperitivo night, and dishes that feel positively luxurious for the (mostly under $20) price tag. Catering is available as well."

"And as can happen when putting together lists, one or two places are forgotten – voluntarily or not. When someone suggested « What about Barcola?. » Jean-Philippe replied that this was a restaurant not to bring up because «  We like to keep Barcola to ourselves »."

"Almost hidden next to the century-old Segal's grocery store, Le Vieux serves affordable, ample breakfast plates daily as of 6:30 a.m. (7:30 a.m. on Sundays). A quiet staple on the Main for decades."

"Love this place I have known the family for years always served with a smile and the food well it's to die for you must go there."

"You could argue I’m a little biased when it comes to coffee in Montreal. I’m Portuguese so of course, anywhere serving natas alongside espresso immediately earns the title of one the “best coffee shops in Montreal”. ‍The Chiado 28 café gets its name from the Chiado district of Lisbon, known for artsy shops, cafes and restaurants as well as theaters and historic monuments."
