Le Kube - Montréal

Montreal Chinatown is mostly Toi-San cantonese people (my people!) and so when we went here at 1:30 in the morning and this was one of maybe 3 restaurants

I only went to eat there because it was open after 10pmAsked the waiter what soup was popular and he suggested the monk fish soup.

Staying at the hotel on business at a conference and had the opportunity to have lunch at Le Kube. Service was slow- despite me telling the hostess and waiter that I only had an hour and was reassured that was more than enough time I had to leave without fully finishing the meal. Was offered water on arrival which I finished before ordering, glass was never refilled (despite a few requests). French opinion soup was delicious! Veal ravioli was quite flavourful and very rich. It was suppose to be served hot but was quite cold by the time it arrived. Menu looked quite diverse - salads, soup, burgers and sandwiches, pizza, seafood, small plates, and full meals. If you are stuck eating at the hotel, it is alright, otherwise I would recommend eating offsite.

Kube is the place you go when you're staying at the hotel and need to eat there for whatever reason. Of that genre, this place is above average. I had a clam chowder that managed to be okay despite having corn kernels and not much clam. A pork gnocchi had a great sauce, but was light on pork and too heavy on gnocci. My first experience with "smoked meat" -- Montreal's answer to pastrami was completely satisfying.

The meal was decent but the staff were amazingly poor and inattentive. Waited almost over an hour for an evening snack. Lots of excuses.
