1. Else's
Else's is always chill and cozy, dark, yummy and badass in a punk mamma full of community love kind of way. It's at its best in the winter right after a big snow. The small corner it sits on is the perfect place to watch the coordinated massive…More »
2. The Sparrow / Le Moineau
Montréal, QC H2T 1A5

Canadian (New)
For me Sparrow is best for polenta fries, hamburger and a stiff drink at the bar. Warm, dim, thoughtful and humorous with a good weekday lunch and weekend brunch. Same owners as at Blizzarts and Korova, same excellent music, friendly staff and…More »
3. Casa Del Popolo
Casa is 2 rooms now, one is tables and couches, tasty nachos and sandwiches, zine library - a pretty, ramshackle, dim, perfect space for thinking, drinking, drawing and eating vegetarian tasty inexpensive eats. The second room is a dedicated…More »
4. Notre Dame Des Quilles
They have started doing the occasional live show on the bowling alleys, and were just voted "3rd Best Lesbian Bar" in the Best of Montreal Poll. The food and cocktails are still good, varying to great depending on who is cooking or behind the bar.…More »

Bowled and ate well at Notre Dame des Quilles today with Janine T, thanks to a tip from savvy Amy T.… Read more »
5. Buvette Chez Simone
I like Buvette when it comes time to hang out in pretty yet casual clothes with the pretty yet casual people in the pretty yet casual decor. Delicious cheese plates, chorizo, rosette de lyon, smoked meat on plates for sharing, nice helpful staff who…More »
6. La Croissanterie Figaro
Delicious on a summer evening or late fall sitting on the quiet side street patio with coffee, wine, crisp fresh homemade croissants... Or tucked into a window booth on a snowy noon eating croque monsieur with lovely melty cheese and gorgeous flakey…More »
7. Pastaga
Gold Medal Winner at the Canadian Culinary Championships, Martin Juneau, has opened this bright, lovely, comfortable restaurant up on a northern stretch of St Laurent that's slowly waking up and increasing my love of this neighborhood. Pastaga sits…More »
8. Bar Waverly
Waverly is in a former brothel, former karaoke bar/rock venue, resurrected from Montreal's notoriously loud and sexy past. Now it's looking modern, clean, bright and comfortable - the best change to the space is the wide open floor-to-ceiling windows…More »
9. Le Pourvoyeur
Montréal, QC H2R 1S7

Breakfast & Brunch
Wonderful addition to the Jean Talon Market neighbourhood! This 'Pub Festif' has a ground-level covered patio on the north side of the market, and a second floor with wide open windows overlooking the sprawling vegetable stalls and nearby church…More »
10. Whisky Cafe
The Whisky Cafe has a great vibe, it's got that sexy French film star sparkly zen with dark corners for hiding starlets, and central tables under soft lights for being seen. The Whisky selection is excellent but over priced - the same glass could be…More »
11. Hurley's Irish Pub
This place has always had a special spot in my heart and in the hearts of most locals, it's old and rambly and comfortable like a real Irish pub ought to be. The layout, wrapping around the sunken level (my favourite) out to the terrasses and up to…More »
12. L'île Noire Pub
Ile Noire is a classy professional spot with charming staff and an exceptional scotch menu located on a convenient, vibrant stretch of St Denis. The front room feels very business, but the back opens up into a more comfortable candle-lit brasserie…More »
13. Vol de nuit
4 stars because Vol de Nuit is great for what it is: inexpensive pints and pitchers, two for one mixed drinks during 5a7, tables wobbling on the cobblestones in the sun perfect for people watching. There's always an odd mix at Vol of local students…More »
14. Pub quartier latin
Really chill, red, wood, velvet and brassey - a bar where it's possible to get a nice port and sometimes catch some interesting new jazz or funk or electro soul. Just off St Denis in a squat old stone building, the Latin Quarter pub manages to be…More »
15. Istori Resto Bar Billard
Unexpected spot! Climb 3 flights of institutionally-flavoured stairs to find it, and once you're there the feeling of floating above and outside rue St Catherine makes for a nice escape. 6$ for a nice big scotch and soda and a smile. The wait staff…More »
16. Bar Blizzarts
Blizzarts has been around for over 15 years, it's a small lounge with generally awesome music, nice looking space but unpretentious, their motto is "be nice or leave" and THAT I can relate to. There is an open seating space near the window on St…More »
17. Laïka
Service is always spacey but sexy, food and beer are fine and reasonably priced, free wifi, nice sunken spot with giant windows on St Laurent corner Duluth (lovely) with constantly great music from local djs. Bonus, sit here for hours drinking…More »
18. La Petite Idee Fixe
Alright I'll tell you, but don't go ruining this place bc right now it is very pure. Don't try to order fancy mixed drinks, or food, or in English. Do get a 40oz Labatt50 and the beer card that gets you free 40oz Labatt50 when you've had 10 40oz…More »
19. Pizzeria Magpie
Magpie is so pretty and sweet tucked quietly just off St Laurent and kept cozy with the hearth of the wood burning pizza oven in the room. The service was a little spacey and unintentionally aggressive, but the waitress seemed new and the rest of the…More »
20. Royal Phoenix
I was there last night with a pack of ladies, there was a new waiter who was clearly a pro: no waiting, no chaos, super funny friendly attentive service. And the food!! The poutine is really exceptional, and I have eaten at least 3 times my weight in…More »

21. Il Focolaio Pizza Resto
Nice crust. Not too thin, not heavy. A paper placemat menu with 70 pizza options (somehow this already makes me love you). All the ones I've tried are fresh and the combinations tasty. Sort of an old Italian Quebecois family diner vibe with big…More »
22. Nacho Libre
The salsa verde nachos with sausage are delicious, I'll give you that. The red walls and giant luchador posters and swings and couches are cozy. The DJ mixing at 6pm on a Friday: appreciated. The unfortunate twist? Steak gristle in the otherwise…More »
23. Bières et compagnie
This place is a Quebec chain. The restos are conveniently located, large enough to generally accommodate you whenever you show up. Large plastic menu in the style of American chains, but in French and with an emphasis on foods we dig here in Quebec…More »
24. Nouveau Palais
I think everything changed at Nouveau Palais when the new owners including chef Gita Seaton got involved. We recently sampled the ribs with blackened rice and the steak sandwich and everything was subtle, tasty and great. The cocktails here are…More »
25. Vices et Versa
This is high heaven in my books: long chalkboard list of locally brewed beers, delicious smoked meat sandwiches, big satisfying nacho plates and sausages, sunny wooden tables by the window on St Laurent in Little Italy next to a kids park, leafy…More »
26. Éclusiers Lounge
The trick to appreciating Éclusiers is to go in with the right expectations. On the water at the locks in the Old Port of Montreal, the setting is lovely and calming and the decor is bright and nice for daytime drinking with a crew of fashionable…More »
