Resto-Bar La Vieille
My favourite lunch-time brasserie. For the unitiated amongst us, a brasserie is a beer hall that serves meals. Not to be confused with a Tavern, which can be essentially the same thing, except that until the late 1980s, women weren't allowed in Taverns in Quebec.
The menu covers a delectable selection of fresh salads and an assortment of hot and spicy tidbits, designed (in collaboration with the Peppermaster) to please the most discerning of chiliheads.
They've even got a platter on the menu that's designed for me... The Diablo. It's a mix of jalapeno poppers, popcorn shrimp, buffalo wings, spicy chicken nuggets and vegetable sticks. The platter is served with a dipping serving of La Vielle's yummy ranch-style dressing and Peppermaster Hurricane Mash; assuming you can handle it. They also have an assortment of gentler sauces for the more delicate palated.
Moderately priced and a comfortable, homey atmosphere, it's a great place for lunch or dinner for the jean sporting crowd. They've got a nice selection of beers on tap, a pool hall and an outdoor balcony terrasse where they serve BBQ (Canadian style grilling) in the summer.
The beer is cold and service is bilingual.
And if you tell them you're a friend of mine, or a friend of the Peppermaster's, they'll know just what to put on your plate to spice up your life.
Btw... if you happen to be in the neighbourhood, La Vieille is launching their new menu next week and to celebrate Peppermaster is collaborating with them for an open-terrasse barbecue (Canadian style). Soyez le Bienvenue. Join us.
