Restaurants cuisine du monde Montreal

Derek Dammann and his financial partner Jamie Oliver, world-renowned British chef and TV host (Naked Chef for Intimates), opened the establishment in autumn 2012. The premises look like an English pub (which means Maison Publique is the translation of Public House). So expect to find British specialties on the menu with the chef's very personal touch. To accompany all this, the house offers, for our greatest pleasure, beers from Quebec microbreweries and Canadian wines.

We're in good hands at this attractive resto-bar set above an Asian grocery store. Poincaré's creators all come from well-known microbreweries, and the chef, who is passionate about lacto-fermentation, has come up with a number of small dishes and preserves (all made on the premises) to enjoy over a glass. Excellent wines and cocktails, in addition to a fine selection of beers. Try the fermented fries with shallot confit mayonnaise. The ideal place after a visit to Chinatown or before a show at the SAT.

A former Chinese art store is now home to THE trendy spot of the moment. The kitchen in the center of the room gives diners the pleasure of observing Japanese dishes in preparation. Sashimi, grilled duck aged in miso or tantan udon: these delicate dishes are ideal for sharing. Glasses of wine or sake take on a special flavor under the soft lighting. And for even greater intimacy, the small vinyl bar in the basement transforms into a unique club in the evening.

The Red Tiger is a kind of hybrid between a neighborhood pub and a typical Vietnamese street food restaurant. On the menu: green papaya salad, barbecue and sesame pork skewers, mini Vietnamese chicken and shrimp pancakes... We recommend that several people share a few dishes, so you can try everything. There's a great list of house cocktails and even a signature beer, a light blonde that goes down well. If the place doesn't have a terrace, there's a large garage door that opens wide on sunny days.

A cross between the Orient and Canada. Concrete gray, black and pastel pink adorn the ultra-modern restaurant housed in a handsome, less modern building. At every stage of the day, you can sample dishes flavored with zaatar, harissa, mint... And it's delicious! At lunchtime, pita bread sandwiches (fried chicken, falafel or tuna crudo) take center stage. In the evening, there's a choice of hot or cold dishes, and the brunch menu is even more varied, with a mix of savory and sweet dishes. Worth a try!

Let's face it: we don't go to Chez Chili for the setting, but for the plates, each one as good as the next (and believe us, a good part of the dishes have been tested and approved!). Special mention to the excellent eggplant with garlic, melt-in-the-mouth, to be served with white rice and sautéed tofu for example, all for the right price. The service is always very pleasant and the tea is served at the table, alongside the classic water carafe. A real good address in Chinatown!

Those familiar with the now-defunct Mezcla will recognize the touch of chef Marcel Larrea, who trained at Cordon Bleu and worked at Astrid & Gastón alongside legendary chef Gastón Acurio, both in Lima, Peru. The menu is as diverse as the bar's décor, offering ceviche, scallop and parmesan tiradito, dumplings, duck anticucho and other fusion delights. The cocktails include the Pisco Sour, reputed to be the best in town. A real treat!

The Frangié family's gourmet table, Mom's recipes are omnipresent, offering a true voyage to the heart of the flavours of Syria and Armenia, with a Montreal touch. Among the specialties, you must try the delicious mazzas, the stuffed pitas, the osmally kebab or the Aleppo poutine (fries, braised lamb, Aleppo cheese and nuts). As everything looks delicious and fragrant on the menu, you might as well have several dishes to share for your table. Special mention to the incredible wine list, most of which are natural.

After the huge success of Sushi Momo, Christian Ventura is taking his vegan sushi concept one step further. With Bloom, the setting is a little more upscale, the style is refined in cream tones, between stone, wood and dried flowers. The menu, still in the same spirit, is very interesting. With konjac "salmon", tofu "crab" or sweet potato tempura, the vegetal creativity is limitless. The result is elegant and, above all, well-balanced. A good address for gourmets curious about new flavors.

In the heart of Little Burgundy, a stone's throw from the Atwater Market, this classic Montreal restaurant owes its name to Charles "Joe-Beef" McKiernan, one of the working class heroes of the 19th century. A refined bistro, Joe Beef is not all working class! An inventive table that mixes flavours around steak and seafood, a bistro-style menu on a blackboard, and attentive and friendly service. The owners have several other establishments: The Liverpool House, McKiernan and Le Vin Papillon.

This neighborhood address offers traditional Tibetan food in a simple and authentic atmosphere. The terrace at the back is restful as you wish. The dishes are concocted with meats and finely cut vegetables in the Tibetan style. The typical dish is the momo, a large ravioli stuffed with meat, cheese or vegetables. The Yeti menu includes a rich assortment of the house specialties. Something to feast on before planning, why not, a trek in the Himalayas!

The Byblos is an excellent "brunch spot" for those who like to indulge in mint tea and oriental sweets. The decor is a great success. The menu introduces the gourmet to Iranian gourmet philosophy, then divides into six chapters and an epilogue, giving a good idea of the variety of products to be sampled. The traditional breakfast is a must. Every Sunday from 5pm to 11pm, the restaurant offers Dizzy, a traditional dish (based on lamb, pulses, potato and tomato).

Restaurant Kazu is (often) at the end of the queue, on the corner of rue Sainte-Catherine and rue Saint-Marc. Frequented by regular customers and students, this Japanese izakaya in the heart of downtown is a delight for the taste buds... and the wallet! The place doesn't look much, the interior is tiny and unpretentious, but you come for the good food: okonomiyaki, onigiris, nabemono... in short, real Japanese cuisine, tasty and surprising. It's THE place to go in the neighborhood.

An eco-responsible neighbourhood bistro, featuring Quebec products, with a clear preference for organic products. A menu inspired by the seasons and new arrivals, with delicately prepared dishes, some of which come straight from the smoker's room. Tasting menu experience with wine pairing recommended (beautiful wine cellar including a selection of private imports). In addition, it is a recommended table "Ocean Wise", the guarantee of responsible fishing. Without a doubt one of the best tables in the Ahuntsic district!

The Hiatus gourmet restaurant has set up shop at the very top of Place Ville Marie. Needless to say, the panoramic view of the city is breathtaking! Opened by the same team that runs Cathcart and Jatoba, Hiatus is divided into three distinct floors: the Rose Orange terrace for aperitifs, a café-bar open all day long, and the restaurant with its blend of design and elegance. On the plate, top-flight Franco-Japanese cuisine incorporating many regional products. Discover it for the food and the view!

Even if the name implies the contrary, it is not a grocery store but a Thai restaurant, at least there is no more confusion possible now. Light wood benches, counter and white tiles on the wall, the place is design. The open kitchen serves traditional dishes like the timeless pad thai or delectable curries. The crispy chicken wings are as good as they are spicy, you've been warned. Next to the Jean-Talon market, it's a good option to have lunch in the neighborhood at a good price.

In a refined and soothing décor, we offer delicious Ethiopian specialities. Stews, at long length, are eaten in conviviality or intimacy, around dishes to be shared. A kitchen that was raised but not too spicy, dépaysante to wish. The terrace allows you to enjoy the outdoors in fine weather. Melkam eurat (good dinner)!

For dinner and dinner, go to this large, trendy bakery to serve you good sandwiches or consistent salad. Finish with a small ice cream, of course!

The dishes, while close to the bistro formula, are filled with delicious discoveries with a very honourable wine list. The frame is, in the image of the kitchen, refined and user friendly.

The chef is a lover of local products and he quickly transforms every client in a disciple…. Lamb jarret, pavé salmon, roll from brick to feta. A high-quality bistro kitchen!

In a well-kept setting with superb plates, there is always an impeccable kitchen. The dishes are Italian and French but with a clear preference for the first. The wine cellar will provide, without a shadow of doubt, the bottle for ideal marriage.

If the little rue du Sault-au-Matelot had seduced you, Scalded would increase your affection. The sense of hospitality leads the institution, which is playing more and more in the courtyard of the big thanks to a sophisticated and tasty cuisine and a wine-dictated wine list. The menu honours quality products, carefully chosen. So many dishes carefully prepared and served with outstanding kindness and professionalism.

A festive post-ski place that offers American family cuisine in rustic surroundings. In winter, outdoor barbeques have a rating. In summer, from the terrace you will have a privileged view of the concerts of Piazza Saint-Bernard.

With its 360° panoramic view overlooking downtown Montreal, Portus 360 (a nod to the lighthouses on the coast of Portugal) offers a beautiful setting to enjoy Helena Loureiro's excellent Mediterranean cuisine. Well-known in Montreal's gastronomic landscape, the chef offers a daring menu of typical dishes from her country, combining products from here and elsewhere, even as far away as Lisbon. From Quebec terroir to Portuguese wines, everything blends together in an explosion of flavours!

Welcome to the realm of the poke bowl, the Hawaiian dish that's been all the rage for the past few years! And here, you compose it to your taste: choose your protein (tuna, salmon, tofu, etc.), then the base (white rice, salad, quinoa) and toppings (4 are included, 50 cents for each additional option). The restaurant also offers chicken karaage, coconut popcorn shrimp and the spam burger, not to mention a selection of smoothies rich in protein, nutrients, fiber and vitamins. To top off the meal, try the taiyaki.

The neighborhood is no stranger to good Asian cuisine, and here's one we really like. Here, we feast on the Vietnamese specialties that have made the reputation of this popular restaurant, which never lets up. A full pot of tea is brought to us the second we set foot under the table, then we warm up with a Tonkinoise soup or a delicious phở. It's fresh and light despite the generous proportions. You can go there with your eyes closed, it's simply good, the service is fast and the prices are pretty low. What more could you ask for?

Hochelaga, new gastronomic district? And why not? When you see the number of good restaurants nowadays installed in this less frequented area of the city, it's a good place to go for a walk. Le Flamant promises a creative experience on the plate and in the glass, in a relaxed atmosphere. The menu features revisited classics that change with each new arrival. In a simple and unpretentious decor, we share several tasty dishes after a good original cocktail, served in an equally original glass.

A little cocoon where oriental decor and subdued lighting create a particularly warm atmosphere. This bar-restaurant offers dishes from various Asian countries; from ramen and baos to egg rolls and poutine revisited, it's a cuisine that dares to mix the specialties of several cultures, for the better. As for cocktails, the flavors of lychee, lemongrass and pineapple radiate from the glasses. Special evenings are regularly organized, such as the Mystix evenings on Friday nights. The real plus: the indoor terrace.

Located in the heart of the Village, this restaurant takes you on a journey... under the palm trees! Shrimp acras, Jamaican-style beef, griot platter, Creole-style prawns and other Caribbean specialties, revisited or not, are on the menu of this trendy restaurant, with its sober yet colorful decor. In summer, the bright dining room opens onto the terrace, where you can enjoy the lively atmosphere of Rue Sainte-Catherine while sipping one of the rum-based cocktails on offer. Ideal for an exotic, spice-filled evening.

A crazy address in Montreal! You only have to see the lamps hanging from the ceiling to understand that everything is possible here, both in terms of decoration and food. The old mannequins and the walls decorated with buttons remind us of the old haberdashery that occupied the place. Bonus: the bay window overlooking the street, the beautiful terrace in season and a "lovers' lounge" for an intimate meal. On the plate, quality is not to be outdone. The subtle sweet and sour combinations and the enhancement of the leg of lamb, duck or game will delight the gourmets.

This bistro will seduce you with its cuisine and its setting. Those who sit at the bar can watch the cooks at work. The decor is original, with numerous bottles hanging from the ceiling. In the evening, the menu includes Korean beef tartare, creamy morels and wild boar chop with anchovies, capers and lemon. But the menu is constantly evolving, so the best way to get an idea is to drop in and be surprised by chef Maksim Morin's creations.

Above all, the atmosphere and décor. The high wooden tables from an old farmhouse, the aged leather stools resting on beams, the stuffed animal heads, the light that the large bay windows let in, replaced by soft lighting in the evening... Everything is designed to transport you to the heart of an original concept. Each season, the menu is renewed according to market produce, for a simple cuisine with an American flavour (burgers of all kinds, grills, fish & chips, lobster guédille, tartars...).

Beautiful small unpretentious square with brick wall, recycled lamps and retro furniture. Very much in the spirit of the neighborhood! According to some, Tuck Shop has a little je-ne-sais-quoi reminiscent of the Monkland Tavern in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce district in its early days. Not surprising when you learn that some of the old-timers from this address work here, in the kitchen and in the dining room. The slate displays wild mushrooms, duck breast, saddle of rabbit, Icelandic cod, organic salmon and other small dishes depending on the arrivals. Good little address!

At Pastaga, we put Quebec on the plate with local products and dishes of varied inspiration. But we're also in a wine bar, with a beautiful 100% natural menu. This "appellation" refers to those small estates where the vintner-peasant takes care of all the stages of production, from the vine to the bottling, using no chemical treatment of the vines and soils, and no inputs into the winemaking process. In short, as you will have understood, the emphasis here is on proximity and quality.

Want a good Portuguese chicken? I've got to go to my Poule Wet. At the quarter, half or whole, it is always roast and accompanied by its inseparable fries and salad. And why don't you get a little grilled shredder with that? Sandwiches greedy for carnivores, roasted calamars, Putin with São Jorge cheese and grilled gray and salad with grilled chicken are also proposed. Do not leave the place without having one or more of the nata pasteis known as the best in town.

The chef went to Barcelona for inspiration while meeting renowned chefs including Ferran Adrià. His menu is affected, with several products being imported directly from Spain, including sausages, pork and wines, the majority of which are private Catalan imports carefully selected by the sommelier. Even the Josper oven made the trip from Barcelona, giving an authentic smoky flavour to meats, fish and vegetables. As for the décor, it is both raw and chic, a thousand miles from what is found in the surrounding area.

A small institution in the Saint-Henri district, Satay Brothers offers Singaporean cuisine in a long room with a jumble of tables that mix friends and strangers in a general hubbub fed by pop music. On the plate, taste. The satay is excellent, as is the green papaya salad and the laksa soup. The prices are low, but the tapas-like portions will make the bon vivants reorder, to the point where the bill is much higher than the menu would suggest. Nevertheless, a great address if you're in the area.

Above all, The Farsides pays homage to hip-hop culture in every corner of its den, from the decor (mention should be made of the mural featuring Slick Rick) to the background music and the names of the cocktails. On the gourmet side, the cuisine blends Hawaiian and Thai styles, with fish and seafood taking center stage. Everything is delicious, and we're still dreaming of the Hat Yai fried chicken and mango salad. The house cocktails and sangrias are also a must. And since the place is so popular, make a reservation!

A beautiful caliente atmosphere in this cerveceria de barrio (neighbourhood brasserie) decorated with a huge fresco, winks to Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, skulls in the style of Cinco de Mayo... The house specialties are tapas and tacos of all kinds, but also some raw and grilled pork chops, and desserts such as hot churros with Nutella. All this is accompanied by an excellent house cocktail, a Mexican beer, or a small glass of mezcal or tequila. Salud!

A new, friendly address, just like the neighborhood. In this unpretentious bar-restaurant, wood and warm colors dominate, and you quickly feel at home. At the helm are true wine and Spanish enthusiasts who have decided to transcribe the Spanish art of living. Tapas to share, like classic patatas bravas and fried squid, but also creations like cheese portobello or tilapia ceviche. The wine list is exclusively natural, organic or biodynamic, with many private imports.

A poutine with kimchi, hot sauce and fried chicken, amazing isn't it? Well, it exists, and was even voted best poutine of Poutine Week 2021. The place to find it is, of course, at La Belle Tonki, the meeting point of Cambodian, Vietnamese and Quebecois cultures. This fusion restaurant, right down to the chopsticks, offers delicious phô, banh-mi burgers, cheese ramen and poutine. Unheard of as it may seem, it's a successful bet! You'll come back again and again.

With its modern, fir-green look, it's impossible to mistake it for anything else. Despite its young age, the restaurant, which is also a café and, more generally, a place to live, already has a strong personality. A rather comforting brunch, as we know how to do in Quebec, and a lunch that oscillates between poutine, smash burger and vegan mac and cheese, in short, gourmandise is not to be outdone. And from time to time, events are organized: open mic, DJ set and drawing... Follow us on social networks. Bonus: it's possible to privatize the premises.
