follow up...I was able to be seated at Le Club Chasse et Peche last Saturday night and had a simply wonderful meal! Thanks for the tip!!!

GREAT! Thanks for the advice. I find the comparison of 50% Bice and 50% Pied de Cochon intriguing! Also thinking of Brunoise...

That's rather sad. I always enjoyed it. How is Mesquite?

I've heard that it closed...Also, I'm going to be driving up Montreal from New England in a few days and I'm wondering if there's any place new and exciting I should try! As always, your excellent input is greatly appreciated!!!

We've always enjoyed dinner at the Bar Harbor Inn. The food is decent if uninspired, but the view more than makes up for any culinary failings....

I want to throw in another plug for Moby Dicks in Wellfleet, not so much for the food, which is servicable, but as a great place for kids. We were there last Friday with our 3, all under 8, and they had a great time and loved the food (though it's pretty rare to find a kid in that age range that doesn't love fried anything). The resto had lots of books etc for the kids at the table and the area around the place is open enough to keep them occupied while we waited in line. Clem and Ursies on the other hand was a great dissappointment. Small portions, too much breading and pricey. Oddly enough, they had no printed menus available....

Thanks to everyone for your posts! As usual, we had a great time in a great city! We didn't get the chance to try any suggestions however...The best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray at the hands of children....One night was stop at the IGA another was at St. Hubert (where my oldest was distrubed by the chicken giving him the finger...it was the first time I he told me he knew what that particular gesture meant!) and the last was at an Afghan resto up on Prince Arthur. We had a grand time there and the kids loved the grilled chicken (Murgh) with rice and couldn't get enough of the Afghan bread with a spicy/vinegary sauce. The staff could not have been nicer and it's always a pleasure to introduce the kinter to new tastes. Thanks again for your help, and I'm glad to say I'll be back in October (Alouettes game!)

Sorry, I should have said that they are 5 and 8. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I used to read your column (online) religiously, until the Gazette went subscriber only. And my copy of Flavourville needs to be replaced from over use! Thanks again!

My family and I will be taking the drive from Massachusetts up to Montreal in the next couple of days and we're hoping you can offer some advice on where to take the kids to eat. I travel to Montreal quite regularly but normally sans munchkins and I'm guessing that they might not enjoy Cube or Toque as much as I do . Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks!
