Montréal Restaurants

Renowned for its sensational and original restaurants and as a centre for French cuisine par excellence, Montréal is part of a select group of 15 cities to join the prestigious World Good Food Cities Network in 2007. Over 80 different kinds of food are served in 6,000 restaurants, from 5-star to soul-comforting smoked-meat counters.

Montréal gastronomy, from home-cooked to highfalutin, is as varied, genuine and endearing as the city itself. Our unique culinary scene incorporates an influx of cultures with an abundance of regional produce and a cooking tradition that dates back to the very first settlers. The result? An incredible range of dining establishments and gastronomic experiences characterized by Montréal’s exceptional creativity, quality and variety.

Take the famed Toqué! by Normand Laprise, Martin Picard’s boisterous bistro-cum-brasserie Au Pied de Cochon or the "sunshine food" of Jérôme Ferrer’s Europea. Or the legendary Beaver Club that pays tribute to Québec produce with its Menu Découverte and the award-winning Nuances atop the Casino de Montréal that dazzles with culinary invention against the Montréal skyline. All international culinary powerhouses in their own right, these prestigious establishments lend a new definition to "Montréal home-style".
