Seafood restaurants in Montréal

  1. A

    Maestro SVP

    Hundreds of oyster shells are nailed to the wall in this seafood bistro with high-backed chairs and halogen spots. The calamari is a great appetizer and the oysters – a 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.

    Le Poisson Rouge

    This seafood specialist with the cozy front terrace is renowned among 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 will also take your fancy. The five-course table d’hôte ($37) is a good value. There are two sittings on Friday and Saturday, at 6pm and 9pm. Bring your own wine.

    La Moulerie

    The mussels here seem bigger than elsewhere and the restaurant is renowned for its almost two-dozen varieties. Try the Greek mussels done up with umpteen ingredients including feta and ouzo or the Indian version with coriander and ginger. Outremont locals usually crowd the simple dining room and the patio outside.
