L'ORIGNAL
Read moreRustic, folkloric and warm are words that perfectly describe this restaurant, located in the basement of a small street in Old Montreal. On the menu: seafood platter, hot or fresh oysters, salmon gravlax, tartars, marrow bones, but above all a beautiful variety of wild meats prepared according to the chef's inspiration (the à la carte dishes often change). Are you ready to feel the soul of a Canadian hunter when tasting a buffalo burger, a two-way mustard rabbit or a deer shank stew?
CHARBON STEAKHOUSE
Read moreAn atmosphere verging on the lounge, a refined steakhouse version. Meats are tenderized using a natural process and grilled over maple charcoal: Boston cut, prime rib, dry-aged rib steak... In short, truly delicious grilled meats. What's more, the setting at Gare du Palais has a bucolic je-ne-sais-quoi that adds to the allure. Smart plan: their butcher's shop, located on site and in Lebourgneuf, offers cuts of meat, ready-made meals, side dishes, sauces, spices and other delights to take away.
AU COIN BERBÈRE
Read moreA proud representative of Algeria, for 27 years in Montreal. The specialty of the site, the couscous, has been proven for a long time and is enjoying all the delicious and melting meats in the Maghreb. Lamb, rabbit, chicken and merguez are all invitations to travel to the country where food is an art of living alone.
LE LAPIN SAUTÉ
Read moreWe jump with pleasure for this restaurant whose country decor is heart-warming. Generous and comforting dishes, reflecting Quebec's terroir: applewood smoked duck breast, shredded rabbit poutine, cassoulets like Lapin Sauté, a discovery plate of the terroir (applewood smoked duck breast, salmon gravlax, rabbit rillettes, country pâté, Quebec cheese, roasted garlic and vegetable marinade)... And with such a name, the chef could not miss the cooking of rabbit in all its declinations.
OMG RESTO
Read moreLocated in the former Sainte-Thérèse church, the premises, with their industrial and fragmented design, are sure to seduce from the outset. Then comes the menu displaying decadent and indecent dishes, which must be pronounced the famous "OMG". Succulent grilled meats, international flavours and burgers are worth a visit and are prepared with local beef aged for 30 days. The originality is there and for lovers of decadence, we recommend one of the dishes "signed OMG". Several bars, large terrace with bar and underfloor heating, fireplaces.
BIRD BAR
Read moreAs the name suggests, so does the logo, and indeed on the menu (fried) chicken reigns supreme. Sourced from the Voltigeurs farm 100 km from Montreal, the meat is of the highest quality. Fried in a crispy cornflake breading, the chicken remains juicy and tender. You can also choose from a range of homemade sauces to accompany the generous pieces. On weekends, the brunch menu features chicken & waffles, an American specialty that's a must-try here! Other options, with and without chicken, are also interesting.
TULIP STEAK HOUSE
Read moreIt is said that the regulars come there for breakfast (a little expensive), drag up until lunch and then take a tour to be there just in time to have a table for the evening dinner. The restaurant has a loyal clientele, because the reception is nice, the service is fast and the dishes are rich. The kitchen is in the purest American style of burgers, steaks, chicken and beans. Ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise accompany everything. For about $ 10, you celebrate your primitive desires of meat.
THE KEG STEAKHOUSE + BAR
Read moreIf you're craving juicy grilled meats, The Keg is clearly the place to go! Located in the Courtyard Marriott Hotel, not far from Clifton Hill, this steakhouse-style restaurant serves nothing but quality cuts, from filet mignon to sirloin steak, not to mention ribs, steak and lobster combo or lobster tail dinner. Everything is truly delicious and prepared exactly the way you want it. Nice wine cellar as a bonus. Another branch at the Embassy Suites Hotel with a breathtaking view of the falls.
BEACH HILL SMOKEHOUSE
Read moreIf you're craving a Texas-style barbecue, this is the place to go! Considered the best of its kind in the city, this restaurant offers all the smoked meats typical of the American South( beefbrisket, ribs, sausages, etc.), not to mention side dishes like mac & cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, etc. For many, we recommend the Southern Comforts combo menus that could feed an army. Beach Hill also has two other locations, one in Greektown and one in the Upper Beaches.
JACOBS & CO. STEAKHOUSE
Read moreIf you're a (very) big meat lover and don't mind spending (a lot) on a nice prime rib, this is one of Toronto's best restaurants. The meat menu changes daily, offering an incredible selection, and you can pair your steak with half lobster, foie gras or king crab. As for the sides, refinement is unsurprisingly the order of the day. Expect to run into a few celebrities as the place attracts the wealthy. Very nice wine list, including several Canadian vintages.
JACK FLAT BBQ
Read moreIt's almost like being in the American South, and everything contributes to this impression, from the restaurant's decor to the gourmet menu where barbecue cuisine reigns supreme. Briskets, pork ribs, pork bellies and other delicious meats are offered by the half-pound, not forgetting the traditional accompaniments (square bread, sweet pickles, pickled onions, etc.). The menu doesn't stop there, and every day there's a promotion to save on meals and/or alcohol. The perfect address for the cowboy in you!
HARBOUR 60
Read moreAt about $100 CDN per steak ($275 CDN for the 44-ounce Tomahawk), you'd expect to see some serious gourmet action. And you'll find it! Meat lovers will be pleased here: the cooking is perfect, prepared according to your tastes. Other dishes are on the menu, including a nice selection of fish and seafood, as evidenced by the huge seafood platter with lobster, crab legs, oysters and tutti quanti. But honestly, it would be a shame not to enjoy THE specialty of the place. We also recommend the cocktails.
PRIME SEAFOOD PALACE
Read moreThose who are fluent in the language of Shakespeare will have no trouble discovering the great specialties of the house. Indeed, meat, fish and seafood are at the heart of the concept of this new restaurant founded by Matty Matheson, under the leadership of Chef Coulson Armstrong. For those who can afford it, Krystal caviar is available here, a favorite of the world's top chefs. Mention should be made of the superb design of the place, signed by the firm Omar Gandhi Architect. It's super soothing while having a Mid-Century look.
LUXE
Read moreLe Luxe offers bistro and steakhouse style cuisine in the heart of the Byward Market. We come here especially for the excellent grilled meats for which the house is known, such as filet mignon, sirloin steak and Wagyu imperial beef. For many, we recommend the steaks to share, which vary in weight from 43 to 48 ounces and come with your choice of potatoes and sauce (the price goes with it!). The menu is sure to inspire you. Weekend brunch worth the detour and a nice wine list to boot.
THE KEG STEAKHOUSE + BAR
Read moreThis North American restaurant remains a safe value in Brandon. Vegetarians, abstain! Here the steak is king, if there are a few dishes of fish, seafood and chicken. The chef also offers a gluten-free menu.
DINETTE TRIPLE CROWN
Read moreThe Triple Crown Dinette is a South American style restaurant with fried chicken as the undisputed star. We recommend the plate that includes two pieces of fried chicken, a buttermilk roll, a side dish (green beans and potatoes, pinto beans or coleslaw, for example), a little chicken sauce and a chocolate cookie. Another star on the menu: the famous fried chicken and cheddar and chive waffle combo with Espelette pepper maple syrup. Beautiful, good and inexpensive, perfect for a meal on the go!
LE CRACHEUR DE FEU
Read moreHere, we take barbecuing seriously! All meats are cooked and smoked over open flames and charcoal of various species. The result is tasty dishes like the brisket burger, smoked beef short rib, St-Louis spareribs and the spitter's platter, featuring a selection of their grilled and smoked meats. Under its new management, the menu has been renewed, both on land and sea. Bonus: a tiki bar on the superb terrace overlooking the Richelieu River.
LA FORGE BISTRO-BAR & GRILL
Read moreLocated at the foot of the ski slopes, this restaurant offers a resolutely trendy atmosphere. The grill on the 2nd floor, with an open-plan kitchen, offers grills on a maple wood fire with a fine selection of scotches, cognacs and brandy, and a rich wine list. The bistro-bar, located on the 1st floor, offers a simpler menu, live music groups and entertainment in season. Large terrace with a view of the Place Saint-Bernard.
LE BOUCAN SMOKEHOUSE

Among the house's most popular dishes: BBQ ribs, pulled pork sandwich (also available in a poutine version), BBQ salmon, chicken sandwich with Alabama sauce, and well-topped burgers. Big appetites will opt for the Assiette du p'tit boss, which combines several specialties. It is served with a beer from a Quebec microbrewery or, to stay within the theme, a small bourbon (American whiskey).
THÉO BBQ
Read moreA stone's throw from the river and marina, this is a gourmet address not to be missed. Don't look for a storefront, but rather an outdoor venue with a festive flair.
