Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Montreal

Mariane L. • December 16, 2013Super traditional little tea house. Reasonable prices. Few food options (all vegetarian). Amazing service. A must!

Sophia H. • July 7, 2017Really cool architecture, great place to work and enjoy coffee. Iced espresso ("Fresh Espresso," or #2) is amazing!

Russell's T. • August 7, 2017Came late night. So glad it's sharing-plates as I wanted to try everything. The handful of items we did go for were excellent & surprising. I suspect this is one of those places you can't go wrong at.

Alvin H. • August 11, 2014Delicious food and great presentation, with a menu that is always changing to stay fresh. Have the amuse bouche and some oysters to kick off the meal!

Tim J. • August 1, 2015Crunchy, gooey cubano is the move here. It gets crowded, so order take-out in the back and stroll to the river - there are good picnic tables there.

Selena A. • January 13, 2018Tokyo Salad is unreal... but it’s the chocolate chip cookies that are to die for. The Old Port location is absolutely gorgeous, I wish they would open one exactly like this in Toronto!

hussein s. • December 31, 2019Excellent concept! Several renowned heads of the City gathered under one roof. Menus as varied as delicious. Review the layout of the site to facilitate a more efficient turnover of people

Aljoharah • May 3, 2018My all time favorite pizza place at Montreal, go with Red Margarita, watercress, and Nordic shrimps. For desserts go with bread pudding highly recommended!

Steinar B. • March 1, 2023Great selection of wines and some really good Champagnes. Strange flavour on the popcorn, but hey, they're free.

Sam V. • February 15, 2016Pierogies are to die for, and their White Russians are excellent. However, by far the best thing is atmosphere: it's one of the coziest restaurants I've been to, with warm colors and live piano music.

Mari M. • January 18, 2015This place has changed my life for the better. It brought back great memories and it made me rediscover the pleasure of playing boardgames.

Daniel S. • July 12, 2010The fried calamari is delicious! Perfectly fried and served with a perfect spicy aoli for dipping.

Denika V. • January 5, 2020The beer & food are very good!! The place has a huge variety of local beers and the meals are so tasty!! We enjoy the 80s & 90s music!! We do recommend the pub!!

Mathieu G. • August 2, 2019Cosy place with great cocktails. Highly recommended.

Polina W. • January 5, 2019Classy tea room, with an adjacent upscale tea shop. Delicious tea and upscale teaware.

Nina N. • October 27, 2014Great oven-baked thin crust pizzas in the heart of downtown! Decent prices ($15 a pizza) and amazing choice (up to 70 types!). Can be ordered to go ahead of time. Don't forget the hot olive oil.

Daniel S. • March 17, 2017A seat near the massive fireplace that is the center piece of this elegant establishment is a must. Amazing food, with the best service from the staff, and a price tag that matches.

Rodolfo W. • July 16, 2018Great specialty coffee! They play vinyl and have great taste. Love this place.

Selena A. • January 14, 2018A hidden gem in the heart of Old Mtl. Exposed brick walls and marble tables give an upscale yet cozy vibe to the cafe... but the best area to sit is up the stairs. Explore, you won’t be disappointed.

John K. • August 12, 2015Excellent third wave coffee, terrific scones baked on premises, they offer lots of fancy teas as well. One latte art was half-hearted for a place with "Melk" in the name, but it's a minor quibble.

Kelvin L. • September 3, 2017The best deal in the city for bags of Demello coffee - $14 and you get a free cup! It's literally cheaper than buying directly from Demello.

William T. • January 4, 2019Cocktails. Decor. Service.

Doug T. • October 7, 2011Great restaurant. French Bistro style but a bit more corporate in style. Definitely recommend for business travel.

Adam N. • June 13, 2013The guy prepares espressos like a king! Very detail (and quality) oriented. I strongly recommend

kranz s. • June 13, 2010great place in old montreal. great food and ambiance, perfect old montreal spot. It has become one of those low key places that only people in the know know. And if you like oysters...ask for notkin

Marc H. • July 10, 2019Good beer selection and an eclectic menu with some innovative twists on traditional foods from around the world. Friendly, helpful staff and pleasant casual ambience.

Sammy B. • November 13, 2011Best meal I've had in Montreal. The lobster poutine is to die for as well as the deep fried mars bar for dessert. Thank you chuck for a great meal

Evan • October 4, 2019The vegan poutine is delicious! How do they produce such a beefy flavor without beef???

Ameer A. • June 12, 2013Get the NY stake. With no doubt. It's my best stake place in Montreal. when you finish get the caramel ice cream cake. For desert. Enjooooy
