Vichy, Buffet

Located right on Newman Boulevard near Dollard Ave, on one of the main strips of Lasalle, this place has the most diverse menu of affordable, fast food for the hungry one in all of us. If you like to over-eat, then this place is for you. They offer huge roasts of beef, veal, lamb, ham, turkey, all kinds of seafood, every variety of chicken, pizza, pasta, sausages, ribs, kebabs, salads, fruit and desserts. GROSS. The cost is $9.95 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, $7.95 all other nights. Lunch is $4.95; Sat. Sun. brunches are $6.95. Excellent value for your money but not for your tummy.

Buffet Vichy offers a large dessert menu (cakes, pies, ice cream, fruit salad) and prices are low. Quality is low and food is not that fresh. There is a section where you can make grill your own meat. I don’t recommend this place if you want high quality, healthy food. In terms of freshness, it’s a gamble. Since the food just sits there it may not be sBuffet Vichy is not fresh, unless you go right when it opens, and often times, most dishes have a lot of salt, preservatives, and a thin layer of oil. YUCK. In general, I usually have salad, bean salad, sometimes a pasta item, and ice cream, fruit salad, or jello for dessert. Not the healthiest of places and can be packed and loud like a baseball stadium at times.

530 seats, expect lineups on the weekend. Accepts all cards.

Pasta Casareccia

A simple, cosy pasta supply store and intimate restaurant in Sherbrooke in the NDG neighbourhood. Very calm, and quiet. Mostly comprised of pastas, soups, salads, we ordered the roasted pepper soup, and a riccota and spinach-stuffed pasta in a mushroom and cream sauce. Also served are typical Italian fare: minestrone soup, Italian wedding (meatballs in a tomato-based broth). Also serves a variety of nice desserts that includes cake, squares, mousse, and other desserts.

Eurodeli

3619 St. Laurent

Euro Deli has been virtually an institution on Saint-Laurent street since it opened in 1982. Euro Deli is different than most chi chi poo poo restaurants on “the main” since the mid 1990’s fancy restauants starting popping up, while Euro Deli prides itself for remaining casual, affordable, and for being self-serve.

Young clientele considerably less image-obsessed than you’ll find at the chic restos to the south. Good stop for a cheese pizza slice, either inside or crouched on the front steps in the spring, drinking in the sites and smells of the lower Main. Expect a new one to open soon on Ste-Catherine West, in front of the Faubourg. Brio instead of booze.

Some items include Homemade minestrone soup, various pizza slices, spinach and cheese calzone, veggie and meat lasagna, spinach and cheese manicotti, beef tortellini, gnocchi, meatball sandwiches, your choice of pasta and a medley of sauces, garlic bread, Caesar salad, spinach salad, and many desserts including tiramisu, tartuffo, carrot cake. They have a large assortments of soft drinks and of course they have Italian specialty drinks like Brio Chinotto and the line of San Pellegrino products. Accepts all cards. Most prices are under $10. Open Mon–Wed 8:30–2:00am, Thu–Fri from 8:30am–4am, Sat 9–4am, Sun 10–4am.
