  3. 1/2
    The Astor Restaurant was opened by George Gavaris in 1924 on Montreal's St. Catherine Street.
    In 1978, the Montreal Gazette's Stephanie Storey (link in next post) said: ”Now the Astor serves all kinds of food from scampi and snails to pizza and spaghetti .... The Astor’s strawberry tarts, filled with pure cream, are made by two pasty chefs in a separate fully-equipped pastry kitchen on the third floor.”
