We started BestQuests on April 24th, 2021.
Since then 1000 days have passed and we’ve reached 500 Quests (we like that symmetry). That’s one Quest every other day.
…now I know where all my money went 😅

To celebrate that we wanted something authentic, lively and exciting. Something that encompasses everything we love ; the food of our city and its spirit. So what’s better than Smoked Meat Sandwiches, Poutine and live music?

Smoke Meat Pete was the perfect place to highlight this milestone. A relaxed, casual, cafeteria style deli, serving wonderful, lean and juicy, thick cut slices of smoked meat that were among some of the best we’ve had and with Pete’s (Varvaro) historic background that’s no surprise at all.

But, that’s not all the île-Perrot institution is great at. A poutine worthy of the name, some truly mouth-watering sides and delicious ribs are just more reasons to revisit. They also have a very interesting house beer : “Pete’s Kick-Ass Brew” which is just that.
The live blues bands complete the lively, fun atmosphere we were looking for and spectucular, freindly, quick service with the kitchen busting out orders at an almost impossibly fast rate, add to an already marvellous time.

This dying breed of restaurant experience is a must try and definitely worth the drive out to L’île-Perrot.

You can’t beat Pete’s meat! (we need to go back and buy that shirt… They ran out 😭 😭)
