Inexpensive Family Dinner Options
See All Lists
1. Restaurant Village Grec
Tiny hole in the wall Greek diner full of history on Jean Talon with the best food. The walls along one side are hung with framed pictures of visiting notables including Bill and, a little further along, Hillary. The doners are so moist and…More »
2. 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 »
3. Restaurant La Fornarina
A nice choice for cozy warm cooking in a family atmosphere - a few other restaurants in Little Italy could learn from the lack of pretension and stress in here, it truly feels mellow and welcoming. The huge brick hearth in the room, the two floors…More »
4. Restaurant La Carreta
Montreal, QC H2S 1L7
(514) 273-8884
Sweet cozy sunken sunlit window-wrapped spot on St Zotique with some of the best smiles and pupusas in a highly pupusa-populated area. Incredibly tasty, fresh and super affordable, I would highly recommend this spot, especially on cold winter days…More »
5. Terrasse Lafayette - Bring Your Own Wine
Terrasse Lafayette has a wide sunny patio on a leafy residential street in the Plateau Mile End area, and specializes in large portions of generally super satisfying Canadian comfort food. These days we don't live next door so we're more likely to…More »
6. La Sala Rossa
Delicious tapas restaurant on the ground floor of the big stone building which, upstairs, also houses the venue Sala Rossa (note the double ss.) Goat cheese balls are great and sometimes I wake up thinking about them, and I smile. The sausage,…More »

This is a 2nd floor venue with about 250 capacity, stage is big enough for a 10 piece band to… Read more »
7. Bistro Des Moulins
Tucked in a heritage building with its terrace perched on a rushing set of streams within the Riviere des Prairies, this Bistro is a mellow, modern gem that remembers 19th century Montreal. Veggies here are market fresh, steaks are grilled on an…More »
8. 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 »
9. La Petite Marche
Montreal, QC H2J 2L9
(514) 842-1994
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Coffee & Tea
There is something both pretty and ramshackle about La Petite Marche (watchout for that small step) with it's narrow, romantic wooden terasse on St Denis, wooden details, successive rooms opening with columns, theatrical inner space, cozy corners…More »
10. Café Santropol
Here is what you should do: go to Santropol some early weekday afternoon in the summer. Sit in the garden, or in the sunroom in the back, somewhere warm, but shady, breezy, comfortable where you can smell the flowers and the trees and the coffee…More »
11. Resto Los Planes
Montreal, QC H2S 1G5
(514) 277-3678
One of my favourite pupusa places for sure. The masa is light and crisp, the meat fillings and cabbage and hotsauce are all fresh, the cheese is perfectly salty and chewy. This is a friendly hole in the wall with tri++lingual service that really…More »
12. Icehouse
Come early to get a table, Icehouse takes no reservations and is tiny. Recently we mosied in at 6:30 on a Friday with a group of 4, sat down at the last available table and had a pitcher of bourbon lemonade within minutes. We watched 3 other groups…More »
13. Robin des Bois
Alright, I didn't try the food but I hear there's a new chef. The four stars are for the kindly concept of a non-profit restaurant with volunteers who get to learn about restaurant cooking while supporting good projects; and for the stiff drinks we…More »
14. Comptoir 21
Montréal, QC H2T 2K7
(514) 507-3474
Categories:
Seafood,
Fish & Chips,
Burgers
Bear in mind, Montreal is close to no ocean so though we are on an island fresh seafood can be hard to find. When fish and chips is fresh and perfect it's probably in my top 5 favourite foods, and when it's anything less than perfect it kinda breaks…More »
15. Cafe Local
Montreal, QC H2T 2L5
(514) 274-3651
Nice spot in the Mile End to sit by the fire and have a drink. Clean, nice wooden details, leather couch, spacious but warm and cozy and well-lit, and for all that alone I'd start at 3 stars, no sweat. My guy friends enjoy the pulled pork sandwich…More »
16. Burritoville
Beautiful 19thC building with lovely wood, high ceilings, warm colours, yummy cheap vegetarian and vegan food. Order form the counter in the back and they'll bring it all out for you - I like the sweet potato taco trio with chips, salsa, guacamole…More »
17. Ye Olde Orchard Pub & Grill
This is the original Ye Old Orchard and though they've opened 2 or 3 other locations it's still held on to the original quality and mellow vibe and remained a great local NDG pub. Doesn't feel cold or commercial or dirty or dark, it sits in the…More »
18. 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 »
