Magnan restaurant taverne review

June 28th, 2007 · View Comments · Montreal Restaurants, Steak

Chef Deck says:
O Magnan restaurant… you have the reputation of a magnum bottle of Grey Goose when in fact you remind me of a 40 oz bottle of Colt 45 (your high class in a low class sorta way). We walked into your taverne and there was an overwhelming likeness to the Super sex lunchtime [...]

Resto Café Oxford Review

June 21st, 2007 · View Comments · Breakfast Restaurants, Montreal Restaurants

Chef Deck says:
There is a little good and a little bad to all Montreal breakfast restaurants and Oxford Café restaurant is a fine example of both. The good is the thin and delicious fruit filled pancakes (though me I’m a salty breakfast lover), the great cheese omelets with real cheddar (except for when they’re undercooked [...]

Toi Moi et Café Restaurant Review

June 20th, 2007 · View Comments · Breakfast Restaurants, French Restaurants, Montreal Restaurants

Chef Deck says:
Nothing makes me happier than a Montreal breakfast restaurant with those little soft boiled eggie cups that my grandmother used to serve me her soft boiled eggies in on an overcast Vermont morning. I know what your all thinking… yes slightly creepy, but sorry ladies and gentleman it just makes something ordinary [...]

Chef Deck says:
Last time I was at Tre Marie was about two years ago and it left me with a warm fuzzy feeling inside, however last weeks experience at Tre Marie Restaurant in Little Italy, Montreal left me highly disappointed. I needed to see if your spaghetti and meatballs was actually better than Il Piatto [...]

Il Piatto Della Nonna Restaurant Review

June 18th, 2007 · View Comments · Italian Restaurants, Montreal Restaurants

Chef Deck says:
To Il Piatto Della Nonna (Grandmother’s plate) restaurant, you made me happier than R-Kelly in a back alley in Thailand. G-Dubbs introduced us, but I feel like we must have broken bread in another life. Your spaghetti and meat balls were spectacular (perfect sauce to pasta to veal meat ball ratio), your sausage [...]

Le Barcelos Grillades Restaurant

June 12th, 2007 · View Comments · Montreal Restaurants, Portuguese Restaurants, Seafood Restaurants

Chef Deck says:
To Le Barcelos Grillades Restaurant, though you’re only Janos younger brother doesn’t mean that you’re not just as special… in fact you’re pretty much an identical twin. Finally a Montreal restaurant has arrived on Price Arthur Street that won’t give you dysentery. Everything on your menu is just superb. I love your charcoal [...]

Claremont Cafe

June 8th, 2007 · View Comments · Bistro Restaurants, Montreal Restaurants, Pizza Restaurants

Chef Deck Says:
Claremont should only remain a restaurant frequented by Westmount mommies who are too drunk at lunch to be able to distinguish fine food! For those of you who don`t have as large of a disposable income from your bourgeois husbands, buyer beware. Though not very expensive the prices should at least justify being [...]

Cluny ArtBar

June 6th, 2007 · View Comments · Breakfast Restaurants, Montreal Restaurants

On Cluny Art Bar Chef Deck says:
Who would have thunk it that a pooch could inspire such fine cafeteria cuisine. A pooch you say? Yes a pooch I say. Cluny is in fact the owners K9 companion and sent mind bullets through telekinesis to create some of the bestest lunch in the city. All the [...]
