"A local institution since 1976, this diner serves traditional Quebecois comfort foods to early‑rising regulars and lunchtime tourists alike. Maple syrup can be added to any dish for a small charge, but the best showcase is pouding chômeur, a rich, dense Great Depression–era dessert made by adding maple syrup to cake batter—think Quebecois bread pudding smothered with maple syrup. While many restaurants zhuzh it up, this kitchen celebrates its simplicity." - ByPamela MacNaughtan
