The restaurant formerly known as Indochine has reopened after closing for renovations for four months with a new name, Star Anise Pan Asian Cuisine. This is a good change as it reflects what the restaurant serves – cuisine that represents several regions in Asia (mostly Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese), not just Vietnam. It’s also less […]

Walking into the Old Montreal location of Gibbys makes guests feel like they’ve gone back in time. Sticking with the vibe of the rest of the area, the restaurant, with its big iron gate and stone walls both inside and out, has a delicious menu filled with seafoods, steaks and other delicious delights.
