This place has, by far, the best bread I have ever tasted in Montreal. I had tasted their breads a few times before when I had meals at some of my friends places. Every time I would vow to go and get my breads there but never made it until this week.…More »

I just love this place...specially in late August early September. Then it gets magical with all the stalls bursting with produce, the colours, the smells, the sounds.

I've been going to the JT market for over a decade. My personal favorites are the…More »

Located close to Mount-Royal park, this place is a Montreal classic.  If you're looking for take out,  finger- licking good rotisserie chicken with great salt & pepper fries at a decent price ...Romados is THE place. They also have ribs and other…More »

I have been at Toque twice. Both times I was blown away.

Everything, and I mean everything from the greeting to the decor and place settings, the service and of course the food is in a class by itself.

Every morsel of food that I put in my mouth had…More »

Les Co'Pains D'abord is, imho,  the home of the very best tasting and most beautiful full-butter croissant in Montreal.  One is not sure whether to just stare at it, take a picture or show it off it's so pretty.  The indecision completely vanishes…More »

The very best Italian poutine in Montreal !  I kid you not, I have a picture of it hanging on my kitchen wall it is such a thing of beauty.

The regular poutines, the pizzas and the subs are also delish. They make all their sauces from scratch.

This to me is the best smoke meat  in or around Montreal. Yes, yes even better than Schwartz (and I really like Schwartz). Make sure to order medium or fatty to get full taste.

Ok, the place is not trendy and has no atmosphere whatsoever but their…More »

A neighborhood Greek restaurant, close to Jarry park,  with very casual decor. The one outstanding dish there is their fried calamari. It is, by miles, the best in the city. Well worth the detour if you are a fried calamari fan.  They fry up gigantic…More »

They have a very nice selection of nuts (best sour almonds in Mtl) and dried fruits.
They also have some…More »

This is definitely a hole in the wall with amazing food story.  The menu is quite extensive and all made from scratch. It seems to have a very devoted local following as it's almost full every time I go there.

This place has THE very best won ton soup…More »
