If I am not mistaken Mordecai Ritchler's The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz movie scenes were shot there. Movie in which you can see young Richard Dreyfuss."<br /><br />Well, now I have to watch that movie and visit this place!Stephanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460851667138068515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149015589860124.post-68066736946417129882013-04-10T19:15:24.536-04:002013-04-10T19:15:24.536-04:00Hahaha that's awesome!

I mean...I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same place, with the green sign and the really big croissants and the pea soup? And it was next to the Chinese food place. <br /><br />as for Willensky's, you might have to blow off work one day to eat there, as they are only open Monday-Friday (but closed on Jewish holidays, of course). But it is so worth it, it is such a dive and the people who run it are all family members and total characters. I think their menu has like, 3 things and they serve it to you on a napkin. It's another Montreal institution.Sea Haghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997798985629184016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149015589860124.post-5424084594270598202013-04-10T18:40:08.101-04:002013-04-10T18:40:08.101-04:00Croissanterie Linda closed down?

Even my dad used to go there when he first moved to Montreal and worked at a nearby pharmacy.<br /><br />I'll try that egg creme thing at Willensky's sometime, if I can manage to go before they close.Stephanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460851667138068515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149015589860124.post-77109707704835782652013-04-10T18:12:16.438-04:002013-04-10T18:12:16.438-04:00you know that croissant shop near St-Marc on Ste-C...you know that croissant shop near St-Marc on Ste-Catherine is closed, right? For like about two months.<br /><br />Try an egg creme at Wilensky's. It is milk, soda water and U-Bet chocolate syrup. No eggs or creme.
