5752 Monkland, Montreal, QC
Rated this place:
A beautiful oasis in the ndg desert: Finally, a restaurant lounge located away from downtown Montreal to a place where it's needed: nightlife-starved NDG. A staple of the Monkland street scene for years, Typhoon closed its doors for a reno-job that has seen it adopt a sexier design, along with bottle service and a vip booth. Officially back in business, Typhoon's renewed its moniker as the local neighbourhood hotspot for students and locals alike. While the decor may have changed the menu thankfully hasn't. Typhoon still features some of the best burgers in the city, including its cream cheese and bacon namesake, along with a complete selection of tasty finger foods, salads and desserts. These are supplemented by a top-notch selection of quality martinis and cocktails, among which is the “Typhoon,” an immaculate combination of vodka, melon liqueur, blue curacao, Seven-Up, lime and grenadine that is delectable (and this coming from a guy who usually sticks to beer). Add to this a superb connoisseur's choice of ports, whiskeys, wine and beer, and you have a great local spot to have a predrink, watch the game, or even spend the whole night…just don’t go too crazy on the Typhoons.
