Hi there.

Sick with a cold and looking for good Tom Yum delivery options - I’m in Villeray. Avoiding Thai express by all means.

Thanks in advance!

I have a reservation tonight at Moccione. Any recs on favorite dishes?

Bestie and I are looking for good restaurants that serve oysters that won't necessarily break the bank! Happy hour places are a bonus! Thanks in advance 🙂‍↕️

Hello Everyone!

I will be visiting the city with friends next week, and as I am the only one in the group with a more adventurous palette, I am looking for suggestions for a resturant with a creative tasting menu to dine solo.

Currently, I am between Lawrence, Resturant Helicoptere, and Chez Jean-Paul. Any thoughts on these places?

Thank you :)

I'm traveling to Montreal for a long weekend in October, and I want to treat myself to a tasting menu. I'm looking for a menu that highlights local ingredients for that season (I love vegetables, especially in the fall) and features an interesting wine pairing. I'm looking for something around $100, not including wine and service, but I could be convinced to splurge for the right menu.

Candide intrigues me the most right now; I love how ingredient-driven it seems and it looks like a fun place for a solo diner. Hélicoptère also seems like a great option for a seasonal menu. I'm also curious about Lawrence (and down to spend extra with the service included), but I can't tell if the cuisine leans more British or Québécois.

Mastard was also on my shortlist, but looks booked up when I'll be there. And I'm also going to try to get a reservation for Vin Mon Lapin one night, and definitely planning to go to a more classic bistro like L'Express, so don't worry about suggesting those.

Where would you choose, or is there another place I'm not considering? Do any seasonal restaurants particularly shine in the fall? Merci beaucoup!

Looking for authentic A5 Wagyu that melts in your mouth like the one found in Japan :D

Is there any place serving that in MTL?

Salut ! Ma blonde et moi seront en visite à MTL cette semaine et on voudrait visiter quelques microbrasseries. Mes connaissances de la scène montréalaise se sont cristallisées au milieu des années 2000 et je ne connais plus grand chose au-delà de Dieu du Ciel et de l'Amère à boire (leur Cerna Hora est probablement une de mes bières préférées de tous les temps). On n'est pas trop amateur de bières sûres et des places où 10 bières sur 12 sont des NEIPA. On cherche avant tout une belle ambiance, le genre d'endroit où on peut s'asseoir au bar et déconner avec le staff et les clients.

À distance raisonnable de métro/Bixi du centre-ville.

Auriez-vous des suggestions ? Merci !!

Êtes-vous d'accord avec ses recommandations?

Does Vin Papillon have enough vegetarian dishes to keep a vegetarian happy? Have to make a reservation with a vegetarian in the group and I don't want them to be super left out.

I can't find many clear recent menus, and I know the menu changes alot. So I was just curious if they're usually fine in general.

If, like me, you’ve been exploring the depths of our city’s wonderful food scenes, you might have noticed that the best casual food to grab on the go is not always in restaurants, but sometimes hidden in grocery stores. I’ve been wanting to explore this a bit more, so I’d love to know what your favourite grocery stores with a kitchen are, and what you order there. Some favourites of mine:

• Piazza salumi (chicken cutlet sandwich on a ciabatta)
• Sabor Latino (empanadas + any combo of rice and meat, everything is so good)
• (edit: how could I forget?): Épicerie Conserva (chimichurri steak sandwich holy smokesss)

I’m sure there’s so many more, please share your favs !

Allô, je recherche les meilleures huîtres à Montreal pour un souper de fête avec ma soeur.
Grand plus s'il y a une belle terasse et des bons cocktails!
S'il y a une formule 5 à 7, c'est encore mieux ☺️ merci!

Hey MTL food lovers! Let’s talk about what you ate this week.

-Tried a new spot?
- Had a killer dish at an old favorite?
- Cooked something worth sharing?
- Discovered a hidden gem in Laval, the West Island, or beyond?

Drop a photo, a quick review, or even just the name of the place. Tell us what you liked (or didn’t). Upvote others. Keep it casual, honest, and useful.

Coming to Montreal for a short weekend from NYC and already have Vin Mon Lapin reserved for Saturday night.

Trying to decide between Casavant and Salle Climatisée for Friday dinner.

For those who've been to all three, which would you pair with Vin Mon Lapin? Looking for the better overall weekend experience, not necessarily the "best" restaurant in isolation.

Would love some local opinions. Thanks!
