This is hands down one of Montreal's best restaurants. There is ALWAYS a line, even when it's -25 outside (wear your longjohns if you plan on going in February- you will be waiting outside). The teriyaki burger is a fan favourite, but you really can hardly go wrong here. We love their black tea icecream.
