Chien-Chaud Victoire - a photo on Flickriver

            This looks like a place you should avoid however if it still has the same menu when I worked in this part of town this run down looking hot dog joint was and hopefully still is one of the best "Steamie" restaurants in the city.. Cheap lunches, steamed hot dogs ("Steamies") and greasy French fries with vinegar and ketchup.. take this outside on a hot summer day with a Coke and it's a little slice of Heaven..

Back in the day I heard Dan Aykroyd discovered this restaurant run by Greek Montrealers.. he had the "Hot Dog/Cheesburg/Pepsi ??!" experience (They guys behind the counter aggressively pointed at you a demanding you to tell him if you wanted a Hot Dog, cheeseburger & It was a little daunting and he turned it into a successful skit on Saturday Night Live with John Belushi.. Not sure if the rumour is true but going into this place then was just like going on Saturday Night Live and experiencing that skit LOL.. almost scared me to order.   Today it looks rundown but it was back then too.. and still there were lineups outside to get in at noon on any given weekday. So if you're in town and want a really cheap but delicious lunch and sit outside in the park and watch the world go by then run in here (On the east side of  Beaver-Hall Hill  looking down on Square Victoria) an grab a steamie or two and fries with a cold drink and go enjoy yourself.
