My friend lives down the street and I wanted to see what the Hochelaga Bourgeoisie eats, this is a fancy restaurant that's in a neighborhood full of hot dog, poutine and pizza joints.\n\nThe first thing I noticed is the size and layout, not traditional and must be gorgeous in the summer with terrace and park. \n\nThe waiter was very friendly and the service was good.\n\nThe food was hit and miss, I had the shrimp with sweet and sour sauce,($9 for three jumbo pieces). Amazing, except for the sauce, but no big deal\n\nMy friend had the Calamari, which is not fried, so a bit disappointing as the long winded description did not say if it was grilled, fried, or something between boiled and zapped.\n\nOnto the mains, my friend had the salmon, which was ok, \nI had the rib steak ($29), big letdown, it was grey to begin with and lacked flavor, texture, I had to force myself to finish it.\n\nThe desserts were very good, I had the cronut with maple ice cream ($8)\n\nI must include this in my review by mentioning i got a little bit sick after my meal, It was the only mealy I had after waking up and did not eat for many hours afterwards. I hope it's a one off and not something that happens too often.\n\nI would go back to try other stuff as they have a cheaper nighttime menu for $20, which is a bargain, might raise my rating a bit.
