If eating your heaviest meal of the day early is good for you then this is an excellent place to start. The Bar-B-Barn is a great family restaurant that's become a Montréal fixture since it opened its doors in time for the World Fair, Expo '67. Since they're situated downtown and they are heavy on the meat, they attract a large business clientele for lunch. The menu features three sizes of ribs and barbeque chicken: "whole hawg," "half hawg," and "baby hawg." Great place for that ravenous appetite as there is nothing light here - as even the chicken salad platter comes with mashed potatoes.
