French Takos

What on Earth Is a ‘French Taco’? | Eater Montreal

"Having opened on Jean-Talon right near the market and expanded to a downtown Mackay Street location in 2019, French Takos now looks like it could be morphing into a chain with a third spot slated for Mont-Royal Avenue just west of Papineau; in a year and a half in business it’s had a warm enough reception, with generally positive reviews alongside a modest number of detractors who call some items bland or excessive. The restaurant serves the vaguely-sexual-sounding “French taco” — more a grilled tortilla or “galette” wrapped around meat, fries, and a cheesy sauce — and its menu includes items such as the “fiesta” (a creamy chicken and mushroom creation), the “cordon bleu” (with chicken nuggets, turkey ham, cheese, and “Samurai sauce”) and the “Lyonnais” (a Philly cheese‑steak filling with “Algerian sauce”), while the menu even labels the flatbreads as “galettes” instead of tortillas." - Tim Forster
