Rôtisserie La Lune
A relaxed, share-the-table rotisserie from the team behind Mon Lapin. A good fit when you want a proper dinner without the formality.

L’Express
A Saint-Denis brasserie for French bistro cooking, an excellent wine cellar and the easy rhythm of a neighbourhood institution.
Plateau$
Schwartz’s Deli
A Montréal classic for smoked meat, rye bread and a quick, no-frills meal on Saint-Laurent. Go hungry; expect a line at busy times.
Parc-Extension$$
Le Petit Alep
Generous Syrian and Armenian cooking near Jean-Talon Market. It holds a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand, the guide’s distinction for good food at a more accessible price.
Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie$$$$
Mastard
A small, produce-led dining room built around Québec ingredients and a set menu. Reservations are essential; it opens only a few evenings each week.

Damas
A full evening built around Syrian cooking, warm hospitality and a richly detailed dining room. The restaurant also serves weekend brunch.

Monarque
A handsome Old Montréal address with a brasserie and a more formal dining room under one roof. Check which menu and room suit your evening.
