Bocadillo - Table reservation

We brought a group of 10 there for a birthday dinner and had a never ending wave of problems. Never holding a group dinner there again. When we made the reservation, they didn't tell us that there was a special event going on that night. The first person that talked to us after we sat down was there to ask how we wanted to pay the cover charge. Took a while to straighten that one out, but at least we didn't have to pay in the end. However, this meant that we now had to order from a reduced menu and with much less room for adjustments. Which was difficult, since we had a number of people in the group with dietary restrictions, including vegans. The waiter could not for the life of him understand what veganism is. He kept trying to offer them dishes with cheese, fish ("It's not really meat") and lard. In the end they got a plate with a small assortment of fruit and rice, but also including beans with lard and actual bits of meat in them. Despite making this clear they were charged for the beans and the waiter even had the gall to complain when they didn't tip him. Early on we tried to order a couple of plates of starters for the table, but somehow ended up with individual plates for 8 people.The food itself is decent enough (of you're an omnivore,) and the wait staff is friendly (if clueless) but it's just not worth the constant hassle to bring a group there.

Decided to try this Venezuelan restaurant after being recommended to it by a friend and reading some good reviews about it. Service horrible as there was 3 of us and the place was literally empty on this friday afternoon. I ordered a chicken sandwich , my son one of their half-pound burgers and my ex the pulled pork sandwich. I am sorry to say they all had the same type sauce which was mediocre at best which is what i would rate my meal and theirs as well. No liquor liscense was quite a shock for a bistro type atmosphere . Cleanliness was sub par as well but i still have to say the service was the worst part of the afternoon.

While shopping in Little Italy, we found this restaurant by accident, stopped in and thought "Wow......what great food! Venezuelan is fab"! The prices are good, the chef and wait staff are great and knowledgeable and the variety of food offered, which is not something we could cook at home, is out of this world and worth another visit the next time we are in Montreal. Check out their website and instagram for details on their food and pics of the food. We loved it.
