text: This is like the equivalent of a TGI Friday's for me...but its old town location gives it a lot more character than a Chili's would have in the States.  I came here on my first night in MTL and ordered their Light Blonde beer, a regular poutine and a smoked meat \"Flamm\" (a very thin crust pizza with a cream sauce).  The place was packed for a hockey game, despite this we grabbed a table right away and a lovely waitress greeted us quickly.  She brought us English menus and drinks right away.  The beer was good and the poutine (with maxi fries) turned out to be my favorite during my stay!  And I did my share of poutine tasting....from super high-end to not so much, and this one took the prize (sorry French-Canada!).  The Flamm was not my favorite, but the beer and poutine filled me up, so it wasn't a big deal.  If in a bind for a place to dine, this is not a bad bet.  It really doesn't feel so chain-like.
