“The sweet heart of Westmount
If K. insisted on seeing me this Friday at Café Bazin without having freshened up or changed, it was because there must have been one or more very serious subjects to discuss. She was waiting for me there, Bible in hand, eyes half-closed, wearing a pink shirt, in complete contrast to the retired and professional clientele who frequented the place. I greet her without sitting down, because before getting into the agenda, I had another matter to deal with: that of the menu. I open the door and discover a beautiful space in keeping with the heavy, refined ornamental trend: white and wood. I return with the lunch and dinner menu in hand, she chooses the Bazin breakfast at $13.50. I take note of it and come back with a bill for the Bazin breakfast and… the grilled cheese sandwich ($14.50), the Parisienne gnocchi ($21.00), a matcha and chocolate latte white ($6.75) and two pastries to reserve for later ($6.50 each). Faced with his disbelief, I justified myself: “It’s supposed to be a very good restaurant.”
The number 18 placed in plain sight in front of us, we get down to (more) serious things and the table is set with an anxiety-inducing request: “promise me you won't get angry”. Thunder ! What could possibly make me angry? It can only be something pretty terrible, thank you.
" When is your birthday ? »
I burst out laughing and she, confused:
“Me, if my friends forget my birthday, I get angry.” Okay, so I'll try not to forget. By the way, what date is it again?
I will ignore the other two subjects which, due to their sensitive nature, should in no way appear in a gastronomic story on the internet, and move directly to the appreciation of the dishes. Overall, these are simple preparations, but well executed. The sandwich contained melting cheese between two thick, crispy slices of toasted butter. Parisian-style gnocchi, unlike their Italian counterpart made from potatoes, are wheat-based and pan-fried, with pieces of bacon, zucchini and sprinkled with cheese. I seem to like the melting flesh of the Italian version more. Finally, the Bazin breakfast was traditional, but traditional well done and above all, affordable.
Personally, it was the pastries that seemed sensational to me, starting with the small round pistachio cake topped with rich cream, then the sesame cake whose taste was as pleasant as its appearance. This is where the Bazin café showed all its know-how.
However, my stay would not have been as pleasant, had it not been for the employee behind the counter, kind, attentive, cheerful, who was even kind enough to bring us a bag to put our leftovers in while we She wasn't required to. Taking advantage of his arrival, I greeted his affability by indicating that I would like to return to the establishment to enjoy other desserts. To which she replied that, on that eventual day, she would take care of serving us herself and that, if she were not to be present, that she would have to ask her boss to telephone her and "have the girl who smiles." I neglected to ask his name, but it might be helpful to mention his Asian ancestry so you can identify him in one of my photos. If you see it, you will understand what good service is.
In short, Café Bazin offers a welcoming setting for your formal and informal meetings and a quality culinary experience and, even when the sun is at its peak, you can find yourself perfectly in the shade on the terrace. I would have no problem bringing someone visiting Montreal to immerse themselves in the life of the Westmount neighborhood.
Vegetarian options: Avocado toast? French toast? A shakshuka? Finally, there are some good options.
Parking: I was lucky to find free parking on Burton Avenue. Otherwise, it can be complicated to find a paid place in Victoria.
Kid-friendliness: Yes! Bench seats and comfortable terrac“

“My child, aged eight, gave it a perfect score of 10/10, and I must agree. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. The location was perfectly situated.“

“There are many things to appreciate about this bistro, others we were not super excited about. I would probably try it again if I lived in the area, but will not do a detour for it.
What we liked: the nice, young lady who served us, the coziness of the place, the lentil soup and the lamb shank, the BYOB formula.
What was OK: the eggplant pasta, the side veggies that seem a bit of an afterthought. A bit expensive but that is usually the case in BYOB restaurants as they need to make a good profit on the food itself.
What could be improved: salad included in the meal is tiny and very generic; we had to go to the kitchen at the end to find the wait staff and ask for the bill; open kitchen very close to the dining area with a lot of noise and smells; a few words in French (Bonjour, Merci) would go a long way to make Québécois of all backgrounds feel welcome.“

“Although Kashima is located close to our home, I only discovered it recently following a neighbour's recommendation. Kashima prepares sushi for take-out only. I have been ordering a "small" sushi-sashimi combo. The sashimi is plentiful, very fresh and delicious, and the sushi also of excellent quality. The portions of wasabi and ginger are large and taste as if they were prepared especially for each order. The combo includes a small salad and a generous portion of miso soup. The price in view of the quality is extremely reasonable. Since discovering Kashima I have become a regular customer ( at least once a week), and l recommend it highly to those who appreciate good quality sushi and sashimi. For many years I lived in Vancouver, where sushi was plentiful, high quality, and reasonably priced. Kashima is the first restaurant I have found in Montreal that compares well to the sushi restaurants I enjoyed in Vancouver.“
“A little sushi kiosk that offers take-out sushi boxes in Atwater metro station. Sushi is very good and fresh. The prices are very decent, and the owners are friendly. In the box that I tried some maki rolls were not tight enough so ended up falling apart, but overall is good value for money if you want to get quick sushi on the go.“

“A cozy spot with exceptional service, thanks to Mia, who truly elevated the experience. The burger with shiitake mushrooms was enjoyable, though the potato wedges could have been improved. The dirty chai latte was decent, but the chai spice was slightly overpowering. Overall, it was a pleasant visit and a great option for vegan dining.
Parking: For parking, park for free next to Westmount Park on Sherbrooke, and take 7 min stroll to the restaurant.“

“The food was exceptional, EVERY bite was heavenly and you can tell that a lot of love, thought and great cooking is put into every dish served. BUT the real star was our server Kalina (forgive me if I spelled this wrong) she has curly hair, and adorable accent and she made sure every moment in there, we felt special, attended to, and heard. Kalina, you will remember us, the ladies toasting to Taylor Swift, and we love you!“

“The menu was unique and the waiter did an amazing job of explaining the dishes. In addition, an extra treat, chef Robert came to the table. The service was great and we were encouraged to try food that we otherwise might not have tried. The tuna main was excellent, as well as the pork shank.“

“We had lunch at this # Brasseurs location on St-Paul E. in Old Montreal on Thursday May 2, 2024. We choose this because we had a very good time at the other on on Rue de St-Denis on Tue 4/30/24. We had just completed a 2-1/2 hr walking tour that ended near here. So exploring is thirsty work & it was lunch time. Big brewpub with 2 levels. The upper level was hosting about 100 high school students on a field trip. We sat at the bar and were immediately acknowledged by the busy bartender, Marina. She brought menus & waters and took our drink orders. I had a spicy Bloody Maria ($6.75) & my bride had a white wine ($10). I had a loaded, juicy burger w/ frites ($20) and she had the chicken Caesar salad ($16). Well prepared, burger hot & salad cold-perfect. Our second time at a 3 Brasseurs was a relaxing experience after exploring Vieux Montreal. Thank you & Merci to Marina and the staff. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY USA“

“✨ Samedi soir inoubliable ✨ Après un concert intimiste Candlelight au 9e, j’ai poursuivi la soirée au réputé Café Ferreira, une véritable institution portugaise au cœur de Montréal. Dès l’entrée, les effluves envoûtants de la cuisine m’ont séduite. Service impeccable, rapidité et fraîcheur irréprochable. 🌊 En entrée, des huîtres sur glace d’une fraîcheur exquise, relevées d’une mignonnette au vinaigre vieilli : un pur délice marin. 🍲 En plat principal, la bouillabaisse aux poissons et fruits de mer — généreuse, riche en saveurs, et tout simplement succulente. J’ai savouré chaque bouchée avec gratitude. 🍮 Et pour clore cette expérience : le pastel de nata maison accompagné de glace… une douceur portugaise qui a parfaitement scellé cette soirée magique. Une expérience culinaire raffinée, où chaque détail était pensé pour sublimer le moment. 🌹“

“A solid five stars! ⭐️ The ham was sliced so thin it melted in the mouth (made us wanting to buy a cutting machine). The Shishito peppers (a daily special) were perfectly grilled to perfection. The wines were both funky and delicious. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cool and relaxing. Absolutely nothing to complain, and we can’t wait to visit again!“

Two of us could not finish the meal and had enough for both to eat for lunch the following day. Staff were friendly, environment was cozy. Highly recommend!“

“We often go to Petros and love the food and ambiance. This time we felt very rushed. Our waiter removed my dish while I was still eating! And he spilled some red wine at the next table likely because he was rushing. In any case we will surely return at some point .“
