I miss Red Lobster. I used to go down there to where they used to be on Crescent St. and order the Shrimp Feast. You got three kinds of shrimp: breaded and deep fried, garlic shrimp and cocktail shrimp, and it all came with rice (as far as I can recall.) Then I'd order a beer or two, and the whole meal would come to, say $30 after tax.
Why did they leave Montreal? The clientèle was pretty middle-class/blue-haired/families with kids, but there were a few couples sprinkled around. And you couldn't beat the price.
So far, I haven't even come close to finding a substitute for a reasonable seafood night out downtown.
The only shrimp dish I eat is Pad Thai seafood. If the chef likes me, I get four shrimps. Otherwise (=most days) I get three.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that there are places where they promise to give you three KINDS of shrimp.....
TG, yes, this was a GREAT place to eat, and this is why I lament its absence so. It still exists in other parts of Canada, which I consider unfair . . .
