Kebbe Naye - Seasoned Raw Meat, Cracked Wheat With Onions and Mint Leaves
Armenian cuisine is hard to come by in the city. Going into Laval, the dearth seems to suddenly disappear, replaced by a wealth of Armenian bakeries, schools, restaurants and grocery stores. We headed to Karoun, a restaurant that is relatively easy to access from the highway. While it is true that Laval is out of the way for most people living in the city, rest assured this restaurant is well worth making the trip out for. It had been years since I last visited the place but I remembered very clearly the raw meat dish, the kebbe naye that had been one of my favorites back in the day. That was first on my list to order.

Yukke Bibimbap
As we headed along Prince Arthur towards Frite Alors! for an easy, quick and hearty meal, Cochoo caught our eye with their gorgeous terrace. The great big wooden benches and arm chairs loosely tucked under the thick gold-yellow wooden tables just looked perfect under the glow of the Korean flag themed lanterns – plus we could enjoy the night breeze a little closer to home. After preliminarily checking out the menu, we decided to give the place a shot. Talking with the chef who too was sitting outside with his friends, we found out that the place has only been open for two months! We love what they did with the place, that’s for sure. So we had the yukke bibimbap which was served in a hot stone bowl with raw egg and meat inside that would cook as you mixed the food around. So cool! This came with a miso soup which had a heavier taste than I am used to, but was good nonetheless. We had a bibimbap combo that included a pork stew as well as another hot stone dish with cabbage, fiddleheads and a whole array of different veggies on top of rice. All in all, the place was warm and welcoming and the food was pretty good. Prices are more than reasonable and while the menu selection may be a little more limited, the place is definitely worth checking out if you’re into Korean food and in the area.
