Family sells restaurant after 92 years
A Greek family that ran a Saint-Henri resto for 92 years has finally sold it to a new owner, who’ll undoubtedly change the formula. But the neighbourhood has changed a lot during those years too.

I used to live down the street from there in the mid-90s. I worked nights, so would go there for breakfast before going home to bed. They actually changed their formula not long after that, trying to become more upscale, but were a real classic diner back in the day.

Working nights, living in St. Henri, you really were livin’ the dream Ian!

I took it as good-natured ribbing. Actually my life was pretty sweet, come down to it: I had just moved to Montreal, I was in my early 20′s, living in an interesting neighbourhood, and even in the economically depressed early-to-mid-90s I managed to find a night job to help pay my way through art school… and pay for breakfasts. Salad days & all that.
