Great neighbourhood pub. Reasonable prices. Perfect for lunch, a 5a7 (happy hour), or a quiet date. Also a solid bet for a quiet Sunday afternoon or pints and cocktails late into the night.

Le Darling
4328 Boul. Saint-LaurentGreat decor. Decent cocktails.
Great Cocktails. Friendly Staff. A great little unpretentious "grown up" bar in the heart of the Plateau. There's also a nice snack menu that includes fresh oysters because, well, it's supposed to be an oyster bar.

Great soft-serve ice cream and creations! Perfect for the kids! La Diperie serves up soft-serve, offering you about ~20 different kinds of dips AND ~20 differnt toppings. There's often a line-up (a good sign), but it moves pretty fast, and is well worth the wait.

Hands down, the best Portuguese chicken in the city. Line-up starts around 5pm, so get there earlier if you can. But even if you can't, it's worth the wait.

The 2nd best Portuguese chicken in the neighbourhood, but I'd recommend talking down the street to Ma Poule Mouillée (which was started by former Romados employees).
