With classy vintage decor, booths or tables and inexpensive comfort fare, L'Gros Luxe has obvious appeal. The small dining room is always packed with young Plateau residents who come for pork tacos, veggie burgers, and fish-and-chips. Plates are small, but nothing costs more than $10, and there's an extensive drinks menu (with much higher prices than the food).
Go early to beat the crowds. Other locations include Mile End; all locations draw a weekend brunch crowd.
