Overview

Dining The guide was updated: 2024-08-26

In a city where cultures mingle as harmoniously as in Montreal, and where the French influence remains strong, one can only expect an incredible gourmet scene. Expectations are more than met in this cosmopolitan megalopolis, and one can savour everything from street food to fine delicacies.
Splurge on traditional Poutines, have a French dinner that may taste even better than in France or try eats from all over the world. The food here is usually well-served and genuine, from all origins and prepared with love.

Île Flottante

Île Flottante

This inspired restaurant (formerly Les Deux Singes de Montarvie) has its roots in French cuisine. The choice of dishes is limited, with a selection from 2 options only: the tasting menu, or the vegetarian tasting menu. This limitation is however a guarantee of quality, and everything here is in season and beautifully prepared. It is a culinary experience like no other.

Europea — Restaurant Jérôme Ferrer

Europea — Restaurant Jérôme Ferrer

Europea might make you think the best French cuisine is not in Paris or anywhere in France, but right here in Montreal! Chef Jérôme Ferrer, who learned to cook by his grandmother's side, has never since left the kitchen and now shares his talent and passion with anyone who wishes to dine at his restaurant. Spanish, Italian and Catalan influences enhance the French flavours, for a truly extraordinary experience.

Damas

Damas

Damas offers a beautiful culinary experience with recipes originating from Damas and Alep, prepared with the finest ingredients. A number of hot and cold mezze (small plates) as well as main dishes are available. Worry not about making the right choice, all of them are top notch.

Arepera

Arepera

Arepera offers an appetizing cuisine, deeply rooted in Venezuelan culinary tradition. Experience the taste of an arepa, a corn based Venezuelan bread, together with a memorable guacamole sauce. Arepera will please meat lovers (but also offers numerous vegetarian and vegan options) and is 100% gluten-free.

Le Club Chasse et Pêche

Le Club Chasse et Pêche

With a mix of French gourmet cuisine and Canadian specials, Le Club Chasse et Pêche knows how to please its crowd. From oysters to deer and all the way to red velvet cake and other desserts, you are in for a treat. The wine and the service match the quality of the food: a great dining experience awaits!

La Banquise

La Banquise

La Banquise is without doubt the most famous Poutine joint in Montreal, and most locals will tell you it simply is the best. With over 30 varieties of Poutine (extra large if you go for the T-Rex), it is a local institution. It is also open 24/7, so you simply have no excuse to miss out on the place.

Local Montreal Food Tour

Local Montreal Food Tour

Join the Mile End Montreal Food tour for another kind of lunch: stroll in Mile End and discover local specialties ranging from fresh homemade tomato sauce to rich chocolates. The tour will take you to six different locations where you can taste local gastronomy. There are also other tours to choose from.

Tiamo

Tiamo

Tiamo's cuisine is eclectic, imaginative and offers a wide range of gastronomic experiences, just like its baroque decor, which combines elegant modernity with rough-draping. For lunch or dinner, you can sit down on the ground floor for a sandwich, a salad or a cheesy pizza. Or you may prefer going up to the mezzanine and enjoy more elaborate dishes, in a cozy and intimate atmosphere. On weekends, don't miss out on brunch.
