Dine and lunch in Montreal (from a local)
Real local gem in Montreal - one of the best restaurants with a bold menu and innovative tastes. Locals love to dine here and so will you. Duck tartare and a poutine with foie gras is a must 🙌🏻
Au Pied de Cochon
One of my favourite places in the southern part of the city. Heni is a blend of modernity with Middle Eastern flavors. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, perfect for a date night
Heni Restaurant
Located in the epicenter of the most up-and-coming district in Montreal, Verdun Beach is not only a perfect place for a dinner with friends, but also a spot to start a party. In the summer the whole street (Rue Wellington) is pedestrian and local DJs...

If you like Mon Lapin, Papillon is the next step. Created by the same owners, Papillon serves a wider variety of products with their iconic ham and cheese at the top of the list
Vin Papillon
Chateau Maneki is a place you’re going to ask yourself: “Is it real?”. Perfect mixture of kitschy 60’s with trendy sushi and matcha options

Anybody who seeks true Middle Eastern vibes in the heart of Montreal? Then Damas is the place to be. Authentic, lovely restaurant with incredible food
Restaurant Damas
Probably the best wine-oriented restaurant in Montreal. Incredible food, great wine selection, and nice crowd

For years the best restaurant in Canada, always at the top 3. Innovative cuisine and the true soul of Montreal in one place. Scallop grilled cheese is a traditional option, however, they always serve you what’s fresh and tasty

Atwater Cocktail Club is THE PLACE for a fancy drink in the south part of Montreal. Surrounded by a lot of restaurants and fun activities it’s a perfect place to go after dinner

A real hidden gem of Montreal. Coffee shop tucked in the art gallery located in Mile Ex neighbourhood, formerly an unattractive industrial area that is undergoing massive renovations. Foil Gallery is trendy, tasty and artistic

Only real Montrealers know that location. Family-run ice cream place with the tastiest natural ice cream in the city

It’s a coffee shop you always want to go back to. Fluffy pancakes, matcha, and beautiful Petite-Bourgogne, what a treat on the crispy autumn morning!

Montrealers buy there at least once a week. Marche Jean Talon has enough spots to fill you up for the whole day -
from the Polish pastries to the best Italian cheese, it’s all there
