Montreal's Best Dining



Nuances

1 av. du Casino in the Casino de Montréal
(514) 392-2708
Website

This gourmet resto at the top of the city's casino got an impressive face-lift in 2007 that made the decor as contemporary and elegant as the food -- all creamy walls and pale leather banquettes. It's a room with real star power.



Toqué!

900 Place Jean-Paul-Riopelle
(514) 499-2084
Website

Superstar chef/owner Norman Laprise has been thrilling Montréal gourmands for years. In dishes of startling innovation, he brings together diverse ingredients that have rarely appeared before on restaurant plates. There's little point in describing individual dishes, for he replaces them with some new invention before any of his entrees achieve signature status. This dazzlingly postmodern venue is now a deserving member of the gold-standard organization Relais & Châteaux.



Best Classic French Bistro

L'Express

3927 rue St-Denis at rue Roy
(514) 845-5333

Plateau Mont-Royal's most Parisian spot is where you come to see what the Francophone part of this city is all about. From the black-and-white-checkered floor to the grand, high ceilings, this is where Old France meets New France.

Best Exotic Downtown Restaurant

Portuguese Ferreira Café

1446 rue Peel
(514) 848-0988
Website

In a city where French food and its derivations rule, the lush orange and blue Mediterranean decor at Portuguese Ferreira Café as well as its big, fleshy mounds of grilled squid and black cod feel downright sexy.



Best Restaurant with HUGE Portions

Au Pied de Cochon

536 rue Duluth est
(514) 281-1114
Website

As the name "The Pig's Foot" suggests, Au Pied de Cochon is mostly about slabs of meat, especially pork. The "PDC's Cut," weighing in at more than a pound, is emblematic.

Aux Vivres

4631 boulevard St-Laurent
Near Avenue du Mont-Royal
(514) 842-3479)

Poutine is a plate of french fries (frites) drenched with gravy afloat with cheese curds. It's a bedrock Québec comfort food that tastes better than it sounds.

Best Old-Fashioned French Meal in Montreal

Chez Queux

158 rue St-Paul est
(514) 866-5194)
Website

Right on Place Jacques-Cartier in Vieux-Montréal is a throwback to a time when the only cuisine was French and the only proper romantic meal was chateaubriand for two, alongside showy tableside preparations and flaming desserts. The food is decidedly retro, but the execution is superb. And the waiters wear tuxedos.



Best Out of the Way Place for a Date in Montreal

Little La Montée de Lait

371 rue Villeneuve est, at the corner of rue Drolet
(514) 289-9921)
Website

Tucked on a nondescript side street in Plateau Mont-Royal at keeps you close to your honey and elbow-to-elbow with neighbors. The room can get loud, though, so consider that in your planning.



Best Breakfast in Montreal
The city has seven outposts of Eggspectation, and they all do brisk business serving funky, creative breakfasts with loads of egg options. The menu is extensive, prices are fair, and portions are HUGE!



Best Smoked Meat in Montreal
