text: Magpie is so pretty and sweet tucked quietly just off St Laurent and kept cozy with the hearth of the wood burning pizza oven in the room. The service was a little spacey and unintentionally aggressive, but the waitress seemed new and the rest of the team seemed more efficient and hospitable so I'm sure she'll get there. The Bloody Caesar came spicy in a pint sized glass with olives stuff with garlic - I'll give you 4 stars for that right there on a parched day, and the pizza and appetizers I tried were all fresh and tasty as well. A nice option in the Plateau / Mile End fer sure, especially in the winter.
