L'Assommoir

At first glance, there's nothing revolutionary about this long, wood-panelled restaurant in Old Montreal. And that's just as well: it's the kind of simple, warm place where you can relax over a drink, and even indulge in a sharing platter or, on a winter's evening, a beer-braised beef macreuse. "Eating and drinking well"That's the simple, honest credo of the establishment.
