Montréal Restaurants

  1. Café l'Esperanza (Café la Pharmacie)

    No matter how much the owner tries to change the name nobody seems able to stop calling this place Café L'Esperanza. This place is vegetarian (and vegan wherever possible) with fantastic burritos, soups and sandwiches and baked goods like brownies with red peppers. Beer and cocktails are also served. This place is also a real artists' hub, anything from book launches to poken word, bluegrass or electronic music performances are held here.

  2. Le Spirite Lounge

    This eccentric restaurant with the squat-like exterior (Christmas lights and tinfoil) is an absolute gas. There's no printed menu but the main dish is always built around a hot crêpe with a legume-based filling, always organic and inventive. One little thing: you must finish each and every course, for if you don't you'll pay a small fine (donated to charity). Reservations are essential.
