Casa Grecque

This cafe deserves more recognition in the Montreal coffee shop scene! I marked it down before my Montreal trip after reading recommendations from somebody else online in their Montreal itinerary. This is definitely a hidden gem! The inside of this coffee shop is really small so it's more of a take-out type of place. I don't remember there were chairs inside

I have to say this is one place I simply love going. The food is always fantastic. The soups are delicious, warm bread served to your table and you can bring your own wine. They have a special for 2 for 22.00 certain days of the week as well and its really nice inside. A gorgeous place to sit and chat with someone or a group. I am always happy at this restaurant and if you like desserts I strongly recommend the cheesecake. it is simply divine!!

This is more of a review of Casa Grecque as a brand than the specific location.How is a bland and uncreative restaurant like this still in existence! They sell frozen re-heated food, oven potatoes with no seasoning, and bland rice. The plates are visions of old 90s restaurants, no life, no joy.There's a growing trend for fresh ingredients and good presentation, because you should never have to pay 30$ for this mess of a plate.I had the 3 "medaillons". They were super salty, and weirdly gray. They were between cooked and not cooked, just mushy.My wife had the fish.. it was the blandest thing we ever tasted. The "garlic butter" that came with was just oil.I won't comment on the service as we were in a wedding reception of about a 100 people, so it was slow, but they still did a good job handling the chaotic nature of it.Anyone reading this deserves a better plate of food, cook your own or find any of the better restaurants nearby.
