Dupuis Freres 1926 St. Christopher and St. Catherine, where skinny salesgirls ordered your granny to speak black.
Holts started out at St. Cat and McGill College
Pauze's seafood joint (now at St. Cat between St. Matthew and Guy) started 100 years or so ago on Francis Xavier just above St. James.
Desjardins seafood restaurant on Mackay (closed and sadly abandoned in recent years) started off at Guy and Dorchester.
Steinberg's started on St. Lawrence between just north of Marianne. By 1932 they had eight stores, including on Bernard in Outremont, on Monkland and on Sherbrooke and Victoria.

What exactly is intended by the line "skinny girls ordered your granny to speak black"?
I don't get it but I sense I should feel offended...!
let me handle this one. Dupuis fretes was the French equivalent of eaton's. French mythology says that eaton's salesgirls were fat and ordered you to speak white.
There you go, Cristobal... you just saw the whole point of this post... Good for you! F****g politically correctness.
Where's the picture of Michel Gaucher's house, the man who put the final nail in the coffin of Steinberg's when it was already gasping for breathe after being run down by Mel "married Mitzi for the money and to get a job I wasn't qualified for and then be memorialized with a St-Laurent street name" Dobrin?
