Top 7 Most Popular Places to Enjoy Food

Binerie Mont-Royal
ph: 514 - 2859078

367 av. Mont Royal Est, Montréal, Québec 
 
Canadian - Moderately Priced

This tiny restaurant specializes in the rarest of the city's culinary finds---authentic Québécois food. That includes stews made with meatballs and pigs' feet, various kinds of tourtière (meat pie), and, of course, pork and beans. Cheap, filling, and charming.

Globe
ph:
514 - 2843823

3455 blvd. St-Laurent, Montréal, Québec 
   Contemporary - Affordable

Frosted lighting fixtures, potted palms, and red-velvet banquettes adorn this very fashionable haunt of successful thirtysomethings---and the daring cuisine matches the decor. Home-grown chef David McMillan thinks nothing of chucking a few Szechuan peppercorns into a dessert or serving a reduced plum wine with a dish of pan-seared Québec foie gras. For dessert, try the roasted pineapple crumble if it's on the menu.

Chez la Mère Michel
ph: 514 - 9340473


31209 rue Guy, Montréal, Québec 
 
  French-Affordable

A gray-stone town house hides one of the city's most elegant dining rooms. There are big tables, comfy chairs, and bright paintings and murals. Chef-owner Micheline Delbuguet presides over a kitchen that turns out such flawlessly executed classic French cuisine as Dover sole meunière and coq au vin (made with a rooster---not a chicken). Save room for the soufflé Grand Marnier and poached pears in an almond basket.

Maestro S.V.P
ph:
514 - 8426447


 3615 blvd. St-Laurent
, Montréal, Québec 
  Seafood - Moderately Priced

Posters, wine-red walls, etched glass, and a chalked menu board give this seafood spot a real bistro ambience. The dark-blue ceilings, matching glassware, and musical instruments displayed on the walls match the playfulness of the cooking. Oysters are the house specialty, but other items are impressive, too---a half-dozen variations on the mussels-and-fries theme, an excellent poached salmon with mango butter, and a truly bountiful fish and seafood pot-au-feu cooked in a tomato-basil sauce.

Café Stash
ph: 514 - 8456611

200 rue St-Paul Ouest,Montréal, Québec 
  Polish - Affordable


On chilly nights many Montréalers turn to Café Stash in Vieux-Montréal for sustenance---for pork chops or duck, hot borscht, pierogi, or cabbage and sausage---in short, for all the hearty specialties of a Polish kitchen. Diners sit on pews from an old chapel at refectory tables from an old convent.

Pizzaiole
ph: 514 - 8454158


1446A rue Crescent
Montréal, Québec 
  Italian

Pizzaiole brought the first wood-fired pizza ovens to Montréal, and it's still the best in the field. Whether you choose a simple tomato-cheese, a ratatouille on a whole-wheat crust, or another of the approximately 30 possible combinations, all the pizzas are made to order and brought to your table piping hot. The calzone, with its rich, generous filling, is particularly satisfying.

Il Mulino
ph: 514 - 2735776


 236 rue St-Zotique Est, Montréal, Québec
  
  Italian - Moderately Priced

Nothing about the decor or the location of this family-run restaurant in Little Italy hints of the delights within. The antipasti alone---grilled mushrooms, stuffed eggplant, pizza, broiled scallops---are worth the trip. The pasta, too, is excellent, especially the agnolotti and the gnocchi. Main dishes include lamb chops, veal, and excellent fish.
