1. Veritas Restaurant
Occasion: Fiance's grad school celebration (back in May)
You know how you worry about wasting $$$ on fancy places and leaving disappointed. Well, this is place works to eliminate all of that.
I fell in love with my glass of wine! Never thought I would…More »
2. L'express
Walked in at around 11pm on our first night in Montreal and were seated right away. This classic french bistro seemed like the perfect place for some late night dining. The black and white checkered floor gave the place a nice retro feel. Also…More »
3. Restaurant Toque
Oh la la! Best dining moment in Montreal. We went there for early lunch, (Read: How to do expensive places on a budget). Decor was very spacious and modern, yet still held a warm & intimate feel. Service was outstanding, top notch.Our waiter was…More »

Upscale and chic decor. Great for those special occasions. Had our informal post-engagement brunch here. I've tasted one of the best lobster dishes there for dinner. If you want seafood in the city, this is great contender.
5. Au pied de cochon
Yes! as a true foodie, traveler....and fan of Anthony Bourdain, I couldn't help but pass by this popular establishment on our last day in Montreal. Situated off the beaten path from the busy St Denis. We walk in around 10pm, no reservations (pun…More »
6. Cafe Boulud
1st time frequenting Daniel Boulub establishment. The restaurant is actually in the lobby of the hotel, and for me still kept that fancy carpeted lobby feel. Noticed that they weren't too particular about the dress code (some people wore…More »
7. Perilla
Indecision on where to eat in the west village lead to a great revisit of Perilla. No appointment but we were seated right away on Thursday night. Waiter was amicable and helpful. This restaurant is great to visit during the warm season. The wide…More »
8. Aquavit
1st restaurant week stop!
Not much of a fan of the atmosphere felt like a fancy office, slightly austere. Service, however was top notch.
Appetizers: we ordered the Glassblower herring and hot-smoked goat cheese salad. The salad had great taste and…More »
9. Vai Restaurant
It was the perfect place I imagined to eat for my Bday. It was quiet, candle lit, nicely decorated. We had seat right by the window Our waitress was the best. She was very attentive and informative. We chose our food based on her input. She also was…More »

Another great RW choice. Fancy, fancy, fancy..! Top notch service.Went there for lunch and most of our choices were delicious. Small portions. It's a shame they don't do dinner for RW.

I love how when you walk in the 1st time, this place takes you by surprise. Decor is simply stunning, from the the tall curtains to the red orange lighting on the floor. The huge picture of the waterfall is very reminiscent of Butter. But unlike…More »

Oh my.....gorgeous venue!!!! Best example of how simple decor can be stunning. This whole place feels organic right down to the carbon menu which gives great detail on the back on the source of food. The waiters/waitresses looked so happy to be…More »

Occasion: SO's bday past July. Interior is very sleek and modern. Arrived slightly late but was quickly given a seat. Our waiter was super! From the beginning, he asked whether or not we were in a hurry. I really appreciated that since I had made…More »

Another RW occasion. This place has a cool retro feel. The color red was playfully used from balloons to chairs to their eclectic centerpieces. Despite being on time, we had a 20mn wait which we spent at the bar. Their wine list is extensive and…More »

Went there for RW with much anticipation. Impressive and elegant decor. I was looking forward and was not disappointed by the pork belly appetizer thought it was pretty tiny. The peach salad was equally good. Their side bread, stacked like donuts,…More »
16. The Bar Room at The Modern
New York, NY 10019
(212) 333-1220
Side note, Restaurant Week this year was not so appealing for some reason. Like I've mentioned before at many places you might end up getting a charity meal for the $35 you pay. You really have to look closely at the menu (which some places don't…More »

The decor here is very reminiscent of The Modern Bar room, with a Gotham-like twist. Sleek, elegant, high ceilings orgeous bar.
The service was very blah. Our waiter seemed disinteresred in the…More »
