The Montreal Bistro at the corner of Church Street and Sherbourne Street has a constantly changing selection of jazz performers. Some play for three or four nights, others only one night. It's a combination restaurant and bar, so you can eat diner and stay for the show, or just come in and sit at the bar, or perhaps at a table if they are not all occupied by eaters, and enjoy the show. Cover charges vary, depending on the group. Food is pretty good, but do not stretch the kitchen. Remember this is a jazz bistro,not a fine dining establishment. Steak sandwich is pretty good. Last time I was there I could have reached out and touched the drums. There's a "Quiet Policy" so you can actually hear the performers. Easy parking across the street.Bring coins for the ticket machine. Cabs will get you there, too. it's at the east side of downtown, but still walkable from the Royal York or King Edward or any of the hotels on Jarvis Street. Dinner for four, including one drink each for three people before dinner, inexpensive wine for dinner, one lamb, one steak sandwich and two salmon dinners was about $220, including tax, tip and cover charge that night of $12.50 each. <BR> <BR>BAK
