International restaurants in Montréal

  1. A

    Cube

    Cube first offers a feast for the eyes with its simple designer decor (high ceilings, thick white drapes and herds of votive candles) and then for the taste buds with dishes like veal sweetbreads with parsnip and truffle purée or wild sweet bass with peas. Textures and tastes contrast well in the mains and the desserts (chocolate crème with red pepper and raspberry sherbet or Québec strawberries with violet ice cream). Reservations essential.

  2. B

    Newtown

    A showy design palace for the Grand Prix circuit, owned by star driver Jacques Villeneuve ('Newtown' refers to his surname). The grilled seafood and Grand Marnier crêpes are good but the main draw of this place is the clientèle - beautiful people souped up for a night out. There's a terrace on top with spectacular views of the city and the commotion on rue Crescent at night. Reservations are essential.

  3. C

    Area

    Area has earned heaps of accolades. This dining room is black and white with a menu divided into categories titled 'Fins,' 'Legs,' and the intriguing 'Why not?' section that includes numbers like green asparagus risotto with mushrooms, parmesan, chives, shallots and 'milky juice' and Grilled Onion Milk with parsley oil and jelly.
