Le Bourlingueur - Montreal

After my visit to Europe this year I needed a taste of it and I was not disappointed when I came here. friendly and European atmosphere. the food was good.

If you are taking a walk in old Montreal, especially on St. Paul street, le Bourlingueur is a natural place where to stop for lunch. Honest/good food, not too pricey, pleasant service, mostly regular customers, full of ambiance of the old city...you are smack in...the middle of it.

Went there for a retirement party. The place is nice, quiet and rustic. The service was extremely long. We waited 45 minutes to order and another hour to receive our food. I had the fettuccine Alfredo. The portion was small but filling. The food was...cold and not very good. It also took a long time to receive our bill and pay.

We actually ate in the Cesar’s extension to the restaurant, and it was the nicest lunch we had in Montréal. The quiche was so good that I asked for the recipe, and the French onion soup was one of the nicest I’ve had. We spent...quite a while speaking with the very nice and very helpful owner/ manager. I wish we could have gone back the next day, but we ran out of time on the city.

It was a cool day and my family ordered the Parisien, Alsacien, and falafel sandwiches with a vegetable soup side. The spot is quaint and located on St Francois Street in Old Montreal and we had a window seat watching the tourists and horse driven...carriages go on by on the cobblestone streets. The pricing was decent ~45 CDN) and it was warm and inviting inside. You can also buy some snacks to go and have a shop.
