When timbales of tuna tartare become tiresome and candlelit dining too
costly, we retreat to a good old neighbourhood diner.
New on the scene with a been-there-forever feel is Comptoir 21, a retro
lunch counter serving up sea-faring faves like creamy clam chowder with
fresh herbs ($5.10). We deemd the crispy-battered Fish & Chips ($8.20)
deliciously seaworthy as we dunked the melting flakes of fish into fresh
herb, light curry, smoky paprika and traditional tartar sauces.
Landlubbers need not fear, the menu also includes a fresh veggie burger
($3.99) and tender steak sandwich with onions, cheese, and peppers
($5.10).
Were totally hooked.
Comptoir 21, 21 St-Viateur Street W., Montreal, 514-507-3474.
