Outremont locals usually crowd the simple dining room and the patio outside.

Le Poisson Rouge
This seafood specialist with the cozy front terrace is renowned with market vendors for picking the best, freshest cuts. The pan-seared red tuna is juicy as can be with Cajun spices, but the ray braised in butter also took our fancy. The four-course table d'hôte (around C$33 ) is tremendous value. There are two sittings on Friday and Saturday, at and . Bring your own wine.

Maestro Svp
Hundreds of oyster shells are nailed to the wall in this seafood bistro with trendy highbacked chairs and halogen spots. The fried calamari is a great appetizer and the oysters - a changing palette of 15 varieties - are served in a bewildering number of ways. Try the oyster shooter: a raw specimen in jalapeño vodka, cocktail sauce and horseradish, and you'll never have to prove your courage again.

Feels a bit like a kind of social club, although guests from all backgrounds come to consume their legendary grilled meats and seafood. Its closely set tables amid hardwood paneling are perfect for eavesdropping. Skip the appetizers and launch straight into a gargantuan rib steak served with tasty fries or a Monte Carlo potato. Reservations are essential.

Queue De Cheval
This mecca of expense-account carnivores serves up delectable prime beef dry-aged on the premises. Order he-man-sized steaks from filet mignon, T-bone to thick slabs of marbled tenderloin, and then watch as it's char-broiled in the pyrotechnics of the open kitchen. Service is impeccable, with attention paid to little details - chunky-handled steak knives for male clientèle, thin and sleek models for women. Reservations are a must.
