Montréal Restaurants

  1. Frites Dorées

    If you can deal with the low-life area and derelict regulars muttering about alien invasions at the table next to you, this place does a classic toasté all dress hotdog (relish, mustard and onion, topped with chopped cabbage and on a toasted bun). A city institution, immortalized by renowned Canadian photographer Gabor Szilasi in a one of his classic photos.

  2. Marché Atwater

    Right on the banks of the Lachine Canal, with scores of vendors outside and high-class delis and specialty food shops inside, in the tiled, vaulted hall under the art-deco clock tower. Try Boucherie Claude & Henri for beautiful racks of lamb, the bakery Première Moisson for baguettes or the astounding Fromagerie du Marché Atwater, whose hundreds of cheeses reach from runny triple crèmes to hard goudas.

  3. Restaurant Rapido du Plateau

    If you're partying late on the Plateau you will probably end up here at least once. Is the food good? Impossible to say. By the time people end up here, that's kind of a moot point and they aren't really in the condition to recall what they ate anyway. Whatever. Good or bad, most Montrealers have fond memories of watching the sun come up while tucking into a hamburger steak here at some point in their youth.
