I came to know about Restaurant Day because my friend and her friends were opening a Malaysian restaurant called Mamak Montreal. With a little more than 30$, we had a full meal course for 3 people! The food was one of a type, that can’t be found anywhere else in Montreal. True authenticity!
Menu:
– Kaya & Butter Toast (Coconut Jam & Butter on Toast) – on the right
– Roti Jala dan Kari Ikan (Lacy Pancake with Fish Curry) – on the left
– Kuih Sago (Sago Dessert Snack) – bottom
– Kuih Bingka (Cassava Cake) – bottom
– Michael Jackson (Soy milk with grass jelly) – top left
– Hot Milo (Malaysians’ equivalent of Quik) – top right
The most memorable has to be Kaya and butter toast. I was horrified at the scene of a thick slice of butter between the 2 slices of toast, but they reassured that once I taste it, I would understand why the butter was needed. The coconut jam and the butter go so well together. I actually forgot about the existence of the thick butter.

The restaurant that really impressed me with seafood was Kitchen Galerie Poisson. Sadly, it closed down. Since then, I couldn’t find a noteworthy candidate until as of late.
Les 400 coups was one of my most awaited restaurant to try for MTL a Table event (It was a tie with Van Horne, but sadly Van Horne closed this year). I waited for 3 years! And to make it more memorable, I ate there on Halloween and I guess I was not the only one having such a brilliant idea!
Centrale Bergham offers a menu very different from the typical fast food. Yes, it comes with fries, but it is not a burger! It is a hybrid of pita and submarine buns stuffed with generous portion of protein.
They are good, affordable and great to replenish an empty stomach.
Le Bergham – 3 patties, egg, bacon and cheese
Le Rouge – Tandoori chicken with cheese
Oh Regine, Regine, Regine… You are fabulous! I don’t remember when was the last time I was this excited for brunch.
