a reservation. Chez Le Portugais (4134 St-Laurent) is a relative newcomer, and looks to be relatively high end. Have not tried it yet, but it has received some good reviews. It’s focused on petiscos, aka Portuguese tapas. Le... (23 replies, last updated by Mr F July 12, 2006)

I’m reading about a lot of BYO’s in Plateau Mont-Royal. 917, A I’Os, Academie, etc. Academie is located on Saint Denis Street. Would that be close or far from Auberge du vieux port? I have no idea. Walking... (3 replies, last updated by bftp March 30, 2004)

else. Any thoughts on this decision? Is Les Remparts sufficiently decent to prevent me from throwing away money? Or should I chuck it to make room on the schedule for somewhere like P’tit Plateau, Pied du Couchon, Ferreira... (1 reply, last updated by Alon January 12, 2003)

I went to Vent du Sud a few years ago and was far than impressed. As for Grenadine, I’ve never been but heard mixed reviews about it. Also, in the same price range, there’s Les Héritiers, Yoyo and Pégase.... (3 replies, last updated by Dave December 7, 2005)

Greetings Mtl Chowhounds. We are LA – Chowhounders who are staying in Montreal for 8 weeks. We’re on the plateau (Mt Royal/St Denis) but don’t mind walking a large radius, or metro. We’re looking for great... (9 replies, last updated by MangiaMuse July 27, 2005)

'real, but they’re not gourmandes. (One anglo has lived near Marche Atwater for almost 6 years, with nary a visit! ??!!) Last week, I emailed a friend whose father is French (not Cdn) - he lives on the Plateau, so I... (7 replies, last updated by cherylmtl March 25, 2008)

I would say the question implies that most store bought cakes are inedible. Would that make sense? Then Cocoa Local should do the trick, right? I’M also a fan of such places as Fous Desserts, Les Saveurs du Plateau and even... (6 replies, last updated by carswell November 14, 2008)

Au Pain Doré definitely has it for sale. Can’t vouch for the quality, however. It might be worth your while to call Duc de Lorraine, Lescurier, Paltoquet, Le Fromentier, Fous Desserts and Les Saveurs du Plateau to inquire... (3 replies, last updated by maisonbistro January 3, 2008)

Les Saveurs du Plateau on Laurier Est has amazing cakes! Everything I have eaten from there has been fabulous. Last year for mother’s day we had a white chocolate and raspberry layer cake that was sooo decadent. And before... (5 replies, last updated by maisonbistro June 6, 2008)

My personal fave is Les Saveurs du Plateau on Laurier East and a stone’s throw from there, Le Fromentier makes a good one too. I’ve also heard good things from Fous Desserts further down Laurier near St-Hubert but... (28 replies, last updated by hungryann October 15, 2008)

Like Première Moisson, Au Pain Doré is fine for bread but less so for pastries, IMO, which are inferior to those at any number of non-chain bakeries like Duc de Lorraine, Paltoquet, Fous Desserts, Les Saveurs du Plateau,... (9 replies, last updated by cherylmtl April 23, 2008)
