Since the arrival of December, somewhere in Mile End, ice cream has given way to smoked salmon. The local Ripples, at the corner of rue Jeanne-Mance and rue Saint-Viateur Ouest, has been taken over by the pop-up restaurant Zaidies for the winter.
Posted at 1:00 p.m.
Owner Jake Greenberg went into business after finding himself out of a job at the start of the pandemic.
Zaidies was the name of the hotel restaurant that once belonged to his great-grandparents, in Sainte-Agathe. The restaurant is long gone, but the name now lives on, along with the original logo that once appeared on the menu.

You can get smoked salmon there — Jake’s father’s recipe — but also small dishes on the take-out menu: smoked salmon and schmear bagel (lemon-based cream cheese), smoked salmon chowder , latkes… Friday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or while supplies last.
If you want to avoid travel, you can also order smoked salmon products online (except dishes), which are delivered on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
