Martin Juneau’s Pastaga Is Here to Fancy Up the Rockland Centre | Eater Montreal

"The mall recently completed about $10 million of work to wipe clean and repopulate its food court, rebranding it La Cuisine and aiming for a more luxurious, less chain- and bain-marie-oriented vibe; I noticed it still houses some chains like A&W and Thai Express but has added fancier tenants such as Mile End salad bar Liv, pizzerias No 900 and Baccaro, and Duck Truck. From my perspective, the overhaul signals a push to attract new audiences and give restaurateurs room to experiment, though there’s also a risk that the hyper-commercial mall environment could push concepts toward a profit-first, corporate model rather than preserve their original trappings." - Tim Forster
