I developed a real fondness for Restaurant Vip (1077 Rue Clark) in Montreal's Chinatown thirty years ago. At the time they were open till well past 3am, they had good prices, big portions and among the best General Tao's chicken in the city. They are also the sort of restaurant that employs the same people for decades, which says something to me about the relationships that exist in the establishment. I've been there only a handful of times in the last decade, and they still remember who I am. The economy has changed a lot since Covid, they now close at 11pm, their prices are higher, though still lower than most. Their quality and portion sizes have not changed. Neither has their decor or staff. 😉
@TakeTimeToTravel 8 ай бұрын
We'll have to keep Restaurant VIP in mind for the next time we're in Montreal. It sounds like it must be really well run to continue in business for so many years. Especially after the struggles that all businesses went through during covid. Thank you for watching, and for the recommendation :)

@@TakeTimeToTravel Well, if you are taking suggestions... I don't think you folks have yet been to Cafe Santropol (3990 Rue Saint-Urbain). The place opened in 1976 originally as I recall as a non-profit, proceeds of the restaurant going to fund a meals on wheels program they also ran. I started frequenting there back when I was myself an impoverished hippy in the 70s. It is an utterly charming, hippy utopia with a gorgeous outdoor dining garden as well as interior. The food is outrageous sandwiches, great soups and the like, all for fairly reasonable prices. Some of my best romantic memories are associated with this place. Very much worth the visit.
@TakeTimeToTravel 8 ай бұрын
We have been to Cafe Santropol a few times and love it Their back terrace is so beautiful in the summer time, and the sandwiches are huge. We also had an amazing carrot cake there, that was to die for! We do have it in one of our videos, I think it was the best patios video. It's definitely a favourite!@@panpiper

Deserts looked yummy. I absolutely love custard but prefer egg.Absolutely love pork. I would have gotten the 3meat special. How can it be considered a Special without a soda?? [ not a special to me ] Think I saw a Diet Coke that Andy had. Yum noodles. Winner hands down for me was the pork dumplings. How was the lamb?? Was it shredded OR in pieces?? Absolutely Outstanding

Unfortunately Imperial is getting evicted - landlord wants to build condos. However they do have a new location in Brossard! The other alternative is Restaurant Kim Fung, which offers the old time dim sum carts, so you can see what you want before ordering. It's in the same building as Dobe and Andy.
