^^ Yes ranch is hardly used as a dipping sauce here. Plum sauce would've been a better choice.

and that butter tart does look um.... interesting. How do you get the flakey crust in a skillet?

I should also add, that over the last ten years, things like pulled pork and more US southern BBQ's offerings have popped up on a lot of menu's.

This place is a typical diner of the trendy type in my area..

East Vancouver 24 hour Diner

This place, while popular, is truly an old style diner…nothing fancy…

In Montreal? No, it's not unusual.

Anywhere even remotely touristy or well-travelled would likely have bilingual menus. Places that serve mostly local clienteles would be more likely to be unilingual.

Yes, there were places like that.

You'll be disappointed, they're basically like Chinese restaurants you'd find elsewhere on the continent. My family has been going to Peking Garden/Jardin Pekin since my grandparents' moved to Quebec in 1965, and it's something of a tradition for us:

Mmmm. I like Peking Garden. I always get the Peking Special, with the shrimp toast and duck pancakes with hoisin sauce. Delicious.

Not at all. Most menus have the English translation in smaller print.
