See All Lists
1. Baldwin Barmacie
I would like to add another 5-star rating to this crown jewel of the Montreal nightlife establishment. Baldwin - ou le Bald' pour les intimes - is simply my favorite bar in town. No need to hide it anymore: I could witness its increase in…More »
2. Restaurant El Pintxo
The New York Mag (or NYT) once wrote that Spanish was the new French, partly in reference to the proliferation of Tapas places throughout the City. We could apply this trend to Montreal also, but with different proportions of course. Out of this…More »
3. Chez José
The coziest spot for a summer afternoon meal. I almost felt transported to Williamsburg for a moment but I realize how much this place reflected what you look for in Montreal. I expected a simple lunch in the first place but I'd never thought I would…More »
4. Le Comptoir Charcuteries et Vins
Defining the style of cuisine of this very wooden, well lightened and minimal bistro is quite challenging. You may have read that Le Comptoir was a Tapas place and now I read that is categorized as French. Actually, do NOT expect tapas in their…More »
5. Au pied de cochon
The craziest thing that comes to my mind is my peaceful digestion after such a heavy meal. Now let's talk. I see PDC as a highly focused and high-end meat experience with no equivalent. The meat choice is impressively diverse and the risks taken by…More »
6. Restaurant L'avenue
Montreal, QC H2J 1X2
(514) 523-8780

Canadian (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
Epic quest for one of the city's unique spot on a Sunday morning.
1:00 pm: Brunch?
1:30 pm: Arrived in front of l'Avenue and the line goes all the way to the end of the block. It is pouring outside
3:00 pm: we are inside.
A baroque place with street art…More »
7. Lee Bong Nim
Very basic Korean food but nonetheless excellent. I went there for Bulgogi, pancakes, BBQ and of course the sides dishes. But not worries, you will have plenty of other choices. Moreover, the restaurant feels very familial, very simple and the…More »
8. Rotisserie Romados
What Montreal is all about: you bike, far, up in these neighborhoods where everything may look so common to you and then you end up spotting the place that will make your day. So simple and so unique.
Rotisserie Romados will surprise you. Make sure…More »
9. Buvette Chez Simone
Chez Simone is about simplicity. From the very unpretentious but nonetheless cool design to the relaxed and casual crowd, the essence of the bar reveals itself at every level. Special mention to the low lighting, cleverly set in small fenced glass…More »
10. Schwartz's
Given the reputation of - apparently - one of the world's best Deli, I had to root out the evil at last. And gosh that tasted like the best smoked meat sandwich I ever had.
Briefly (because that's what Schwartz is about: come, eat and leave): lovely…More »
11. Patati Patata
Did you actually notice it? I can't tell how many times I have walked pass this corner after my St Laurent tribulations.
You will find the tiniest spot blessed with an infinite Plateau charm. Watch out, you may way wait to be seated and don't try to…More »
12. Five Guys
It was my first time at 5GB ( who are they btw?) and I wasn't disappointed. Well first, I was happy to find such a decently priced place in Old Montreal. Now burger wise, the sandwich actually reminded me of Shake Shack in NYC: juicy and tasty - yep,…More »
13. Cafe Myriade
The biggest grudge I hold against the Concordia-Bishop-Mackay area is its lack of stylish, delicate, unique and quality places. Appealing to Ed Hardy clientele does lead you to favor quantity and superficiality but luckily the Antichrist has come:…More »
14. Les Trois Petits Bouchons
First of all, full mark for the atmosphere which reveals a cozy and dark tone, framed in a brick and wooden design. LTPB is remarkably timeless as its menu reflects the freshest markets have to offer and as its ambiance will fit any winter homebodies…More »
15. Bar Plan B
I'll come clean and confess that I was aiming for Bily Kun before switching to Plan B. I took a glimpse at the bar's website before - found it cool and well thought-out - and was expecting a well-designed place without being too superficial.
The bar…More »
16. Bocata
Be aware of the concept before you rejoice about the prices - $14 for such appealing dishes does sound like a bargain. This small restaurant will serve you small plates and not actual dishes. I thought the Old Port was facing some severe disinflation…More »
17. Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot
You won't be able to fully enjoy Little Sheep if you are not accompanied with hot pot experts. There are so many ways to appreciate the food and so many combinations are possible. You indeed have a wide choice of vegetable, noodles, fish or meat…More »
18. Tianxia Restaurant Coreen
Honestly, you might have been frustrated at Korean BBQ portions in regular places and perhaps even more when you had to pay $30 for it. Well, here comes Kanda's alter ego (which probably caught some of its market share given that the sushi place is…More »
19. Marché 27
Having tried only two styles of meat tartare before experiencing Marche 27, I was very excited to discover new raw meat sensations. I approve this message. Overall, I can't get the bill out of my head.
Don't get too excited by how the interior looks…More »
20. La Maison Bulgogi
Very unusual taste for a commonly-named Korean restaurant. You may observe that some the staff is Chinese but from Korean descent (Northern China probably) and the food actually reflects this aspect. Long story short: Korean food with Chinese…More »
21. Piazzetta Restaurant (La)
Pizzas are good and creative enough to be signaled, especially the Cochonaille et Gorgonzola. The possibility to have two halves of different pizzas is also enjoyable. Quite a nice spot for an outdoor diner on St-Denis street during the summer.
And…More »
22. Pica Pica
Montréal, QC H2L 2A5
(514) 658-2874
Category:
Tapas Bars
Glad to kill the vibe and to state that this place - managed by a guy whose swagger will remind you more of Carlos Mencia than Tony Montna - is really overrated. First, business: the mojitos. Unless you are extremely confident with your Type 2…More »
23. La Distillerie
Bleh. La Distillerie is one of these places that you will always hear about in Montreal but please do not feel guilty if you haven't tried it yet. Not highly recommended.
First, do not - DO NOT - take the risk to come and wait in line for a heavy…More »
24. Casa Del Popolo
Hit the revolutionary road only if you are looking for a remarkable night atmosphere. Take a seat near the entrance if you want to enjoy a warm and redden light while admiring the lightly silvered ceiling or move further in the back for a cozy spot.…More »
25. Café Santropol
Certainly local and personal but not necessarily memorable. I believe too much enthusiasm stems from how cute and unique Santropol is. Certainly looks good from every perspective and offers the luxury of outdoor and covered lunch but the food offer…More »
26. Nocochi Café Patisserie
A luminous and cute tea spot to contrast with a grey and rainy day. Nocochi is indeed a very cozy place, far from Myriade's buzzing atmosphere. The choices of tea are very diverse, ranging from Persian, Chinese (the Tchai is recommended) is Japanese,…More »
