Value review insights for Canada, Restaurants

$17.50 for a Guinness after recommended tip and tax? What am I sitting around a pool in Vegas? To be fair it was good, but thats the most expensive beer I have ever had in the country!

$19 (including tax) for cup ramen with small portions ain't worth it

$56 for two breakfasts it’s the new normal now! Ordered eggs over easy received them over hard! Home fries way over cooked with 2 1/2 pieces of peameal bacon and half a small container of beans! This is apparently their signature breakfast but definitely was a one time visit only. Overpriced for what little you get!

If I could rate this restaurant it would be a big fat 0. We were the only people in this establishment. That should have been our first clue to run!! We had an extremely long wait for our food. The pizza came out soggy and wet. My club sandwich was ice cold, the chicken was ice cold, the bacon had hardened grease on it, toast was cold, my daughters spaghetti was also COLD!! The lasagna was luke warm and bland. We complained to the waiter who said he would warm it up.. Ummm we are the only customers here why should ANY of it be cold if it just came from the kitchen??? I told them they should at least comp my sandwich which i only managed to eat a 1/4 of. Left the rest. It was awful! The waiter told me i should just go eat at McDonalds.. I probably should have at least my food would have been warm!! The wait staff was beyond rude!! Save your money and do not eat here. Overpriced and undercooked.. Or should i say underheated!! DO NOT.... I REPEAT DO NOT EAT HERE. my worst Montreal experience so far! The servers even run out of the restaurant to try and lure customers in when they stop to look at the menu outside. The guy tried to justify why the restaurant was empty by saying its the time if year. Well i guess bcuz the locals already know to STAY FAR AWAY.. So disgusted by this place!!!

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. The staff were friendly, and the overall service was excellent. However, we were mistakenly charged for an item we did not order. Unfortunately, we didn’t notice this until we were already in the car. Upon reviewing the receipt, we saw that an appetizer had been added to our bill in error. My husband returned to the restaurant to address the issue. The server was very apologetic and promptly removed the item. However, the manager or supervisor showed little concern and did not extend any goodwill gesture. A small gesture—such as waiving the cost of the appetizer we did have, or offering a complimentary item on our next visit—would have gone a long way in leaving a more positive impression.

We planned a family dinner at Dockside in lieu of our sons upcoming wedding. This would be our first visit to Dockside and based primarily on the fact that there is a lovely patio that frequently passed . We reserved a patio well in advance. Gamily would be coming a long way and with a small baby, outside would be ideal. At 2 pm on the day, staff phoned to inform us that the patio would be closed due to the rain. It was too late and complicated to alter 6 people’s schedules. The huge room where we sat was hot, stuffy & noisy. No air conditioning. When asking about turning on the fan, they said " door was open. " Food was disappointing & unimaginative with limited menu items for non meat eaters. Macaroni & cheese! Mussels were skimpy & small portions of halibut decorated with a few peas & potato pops, left all of us leaving hungry. The place was packed. Baby and I, overwhelmed by the noise, spent half the time outside on the now dry patio. Service was mediocre. We repeatedly needed to request water refills although I watched a waiter at an adjacent table actually pour water for guests! Certainly not conducive to the experience we anticipated and at a hefty price. We're always willing to pay for atmosphere, sumptious food and a relaxing meal. While we understand challenges restaurants have faced, this is over the top. Particularly on such a special occasion. Rain does happen & many patios remain open. We returned home to eat some food.

Legit food. Seriously satisfying monstrosity of a burger (see picture). Wen there yesterday for the first time - I'll most likely return if I find myself being hungry in that part of town. Service could have been quicker. We expect fast food to be.... you know....fast. That said, the person who served was friendly and good vibes. 30 bucks for a burger with some onion rings and a can of fizzy water is a little pricey for what it was, but this is downtown Montreal, whadyagonnado. I still recommend it.

We recently had dinner at 360 Restaurant in the CN Tower in downtown Toronto. My husband had reserved a romantic table by the window and arranged a small extra with champagne and strawberries, which we appreciated. The table location was nice, but it’s worth noting that the restaurant slowly rotates. If you have a sensitive balance system, this movement could potentially cause motion sickness. We were first served a small plate of melon wrapped in prosciutto, which was pleasant but quite minimal. The menu itself was somewhat difficult to navigate. For starters, my husband ordered the grilled octopus and I chose the beef tartare. The octopus was good and well prepared. Unfortunately, the beef tartare was disappointing. Instead of a typical tartare texture, it resembled finely ground beef and was presented as a flat, round patty—almost like a small pancake. It was not something I would recommend. For the main course we both ordered the Nova Scotia lobster. You can choose either half (65 CAD) or a whole lobster (125 CAD), and we both chose the whole lobster. Based on the price and description, we expected something more substantial than simply being served one large lobster each. The final bill came to over 400 CAD, which felt very disappointing considering the overall experience. We were honestly left without words. For comparison, we have dined at places like Joey’s and The Keg where a steak and lobster combination costs around 60 CAD, with a lobster add-on of about 25 CAD. In those cases, the value for money felt far better. While the view from the CN Tower is certainly unique, the food quality and overall value did not match the price in our experience.
