Review of Restaurant:
Ordered some hot water but the water had extra content in it. I did not drink it for fear of food poisoning.

The spaghetti was very bland. Not worth the price of entry. However we struck a nice deal. By trading our emails, meals that cost over $10 only cost $10.


9:00 pm - We arrived in Montreal! Staying on night here. I wonder what is opened on Christmas Eve. After braving the frigid temperature, we manage to only find that a hot pot place was opened.

Review of Restaurant:
We had to pay extra for the soup base. What a rip off. Expect to pay more than the advertised $18.99 per person.

The place was very tight as with many Asian places. Food was typical, not outstanding. The only reason we came here was that it was opened or else we would have ventured further in Old Montréal.

Mmmm, can't refuse free bread from a bread hater.


Review of Restaurant:
Fatty is the way to go. Fatty fat fat. Yummy. I want more of this smoked meat! Service seems better on Christmas, compared to my last visit. Must be the Christmas holiday bringing joy to everyone's warm hearts.


Can't leave Montréal without packing some bagels from St-Viateur. Unfortunately, they only had plain, poppy and sesame ones.
