Binerie
Mont-Royal ph: 514 - 2859078 367 av. Mont Royal Est, Montréal, Québec 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 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 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 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 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 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. Top |

Il
Mulino ph: 514 - 2735776 236 rue St-Zotique Est, Montréal, Québec 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. |
