Montreal’s thriving restaurant scene
Here are four eating and drinking spots not to be missed.
Montreal’s “minuscule restaurants, chef-run sandwich spots,” and reasonably priced wine bars are three good reasons why the city is “an exciting place to eat,” said A.J. Kinik in Food & Wine. Here are four eating and drinking spots not to be missed.
Au Pied de Cochon Chef Martin Picard’s “instant classics” include pied de cochon (pig’s foot), duck poached in a can, and foie gras–topped poutine—the “signature Quebecois dish of French fries and cheese curds smothered in gravy.” 536 Duluth E., (514) 281-1114
McKiernan This luncheonette-by-day turns into a cozy wine bar at night. The menu features house-made charcuterie, chicken tikka with two chutneys, and a Saturdays-only sautéed shrimp with biscuit, poached eggs, and bacon-speckled gravy. 2485 Notre Dame W., (514) 759-6677
