Canadian Restaurants in Montreal, QC

“I don’t think I can say enough good things about this place.

I have eaten at Michelin star restaurants all around the world. A lot of them are generally tasting menus. Which I do believe foxy may offer. However, we chose the Comptoir chef seating. Which means we got to sit at the counter and watch the chefs in action it was such an amazing experience.

When you first walked into the restaurant, you can smell the wood because they cook everything over wood and it is such an amazing smell. It sets you up for a great experience right from the beginning.

We sat at the counter as I mentioned. At first, I was thinking while this counter is awfully tiny. How is this going to work. But I do find that the servers staggered the food and placed everything precariously in a way that made it all work. So yes, it’s a small space but it worked just fine.

We ordered a bunch of items to share between the group. We started with the Scallop Crudo and the feta and pita. I personally loved the scallops more than the pita, but my coworkers loved the pita better. Then we moved on to The Little gem salad and the Capelletti pasta. Both were fantastic. Last we had maitake mushrooms and cod. The mushrooms were a meter event for me! I’ve obsessed with mushrooms, and this was absolutely incredible.

The server came by and asked if we wanted dessert. We decided to have oysters and carrots as our dessert. Lol we saw the chefs making them and they just looked so incredible that we couldn’t resist.

This is going to sound really strange, but those carrots were really one of the highlights for me. I can’t explain it. They were just so incredibly flavorful and it was something I will think about for a long time.

The only negative for me is that I didn’t really love the wine selection that the server suggested. However, wine is such a personal preference that it’s not really his fault. It just it wasn’t for me.

Major shout out to Jenna. She was manning the oven closest to us. And she was doing everything with a smile. She was explaining the process to us. She was doing such an incredible job. She made the experience even more fun.

I will 100% come back here when I am back in Montreal.“

“Superbe ambiance, un repas à couper le souffle accompagné d'un service hors pair. Nous avons opté pour le menu découverte et avons essayé les deux possibilités de pairing au niveau du vin. C'était tout simplement parfait. Félicitations à tous les membres du personnel présent hier soir (8 oct). Vous avez élevé notre soirée. Merci pour l'accueil chaleureux.“

“C’est une expérience à vivre! Le menu Carte blanche est divin! Le personnel en salle et en cuisine ont fait de cette soirée un moment inoubliable! C’est une cuisine gastronomique originale du terroir à découvrir!“

“We are visiting and stumbled across Au Pied dr Cochon. Everyone there was so helpful in getting us a table even though it was very busy and our waiter Emile was absolutely wonderful! He gave us great recommendations and great service. The food was absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend!“

“Je suis allé manger au restaurant Vin Papillon en compagnie de mon épouse. Nous avons vécu une expérience conviviale, créative, et qui a engagé l'ensemble de nos sens. Toutes mes félicitations à l'équipe qui nous a permis de vivre une soirée mémorable. Je compte bien y retourner sous peu. Je vous recommande fortement d'y faire une visite!“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Staff are without exception knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The food was fantastic. We gave a note in advance about eating play-based, and the chef was more than happy to creatively accommodate. Will definitely return on next visit to Montreal!“

“What an experience! Over the course of about 3 hours, 7 fantastic dishes, paired with 7 glasses of perfectly selected wine, I discovered what the term "fine dining" actually means. It's sophisticated without being overly serious, the flavors are always playful, changing right when you think you've figured them out. My favorite dish was a charred trout with roe and confit melon, in a beurre blanc sauce (chef's kiss). However, everything was truly wonderful, from a perfectly cooked strip loin, to rare squab with a rich berry sauce, to a braised beet on top of an intense shiitake mushroom puree. The service is impeccable: they never miss a beat. Whether it was never missing the opportunity to pull out the chair for my companion, to simply exuding a quite and comforting friendliness. Accommodation is what they strive for, and they go above and beyond to achieve that while maintaining an air of effortlessness. Needless to say, I'm counting the days until I go back.“

“Expérience unique , de découverte et dans un ambiance vraiment remarquable !“

“Tucked away at the back of a church this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. We sat at the chefs table and were able to see all the food being prepared and ask the chefs more details about the food. We had the wine pairing menu which was excellent. Our server was very accommodating as one of the wines was not to our taste and they quickly replaced it with an excellent choice. The flavours in each course were delicious and made want to savour every bite. We will definitely be returning to Restaurant Candide again.“

“Best tartare we have ever had! Fabulous meal! Wow!“

“I use to go to this restaurant, I love the food and the vibes. Last 5 times the sauces (onglet, fish, poulet) are too salty, maybe in the reduction sauce process the sauces become salty, still delicious but a little bit less of salt would be great.“

“Ce restaurant n’est rien de moins qu’une perle rare. Nous y étions hier et ce fut une expérience gastronomique extraordinaire. Et extraordinaire ne reflète pas notre très grande appréciation et satisfaction pour les œuvres d’arts qui nous furent servis. Oeuvres d’art sont les mots justes. À découvrir et à répéter.“

“Je vous recommande ce restos de quartier..Bouffe trad Quebecoise cuisinée style maison..De plus, le proprios est très sympathique et surtout passionné par l'art culinaire. Si vous êtes perdu dans le plateau et que la fringalle vous pogne..vous savez où aller cogner..“

“Went here last night with my wife, and 10 year old daughter. Great location, wonderful and friendly staff. We had raw oysters, lobster fettuccine, risotto, bone marrow, a couple drinks and dessert. Was great food, and experience. We would definitely return next time we are in town.“

“I've been here many times and it never disappoints. The food is good, the service is good. The staff us always smiling and the owner comes to check on the customers to make sure everything is good (something you don't see everywhere)“

“Insane food ! Great service nice vibe I would recommend!“

“Resto super sympathique. La propriétaire et les employés sont accueillants et souriants. J'ai mangé la lasagne au loup marin... miam ! Je me suis régalée. Je suis repartie avec plein de petits plats à emporter. J'y retournerai, c'est certain.“

“What an exquisite atmosphere! I could hardly tell the difference form this restaurant from the actual cave i visited in Afghanistan when i was 12 years old.

“The food was OUTSTANDING. Shared two appetisers and two main courses (fish & gnocchi). Everything was wonderful. Absolutely fantastic food (dish licking wonderful).“

“I was totally impressed by the friendly service and hard workers trying to satisfy all their clients. The atmosphere is perfect and the food is the best I have had in a long time! I have tried several items on the menu and each one was delicious! You can tell the Chef has plenty of experience and takes pride in what he prepares for his customers! How anyone can have negative criticism is beyond me?? If you can't find anything positive to say then why say anything at all! I'm sure you will be back all you Karen's!! ?“

“Thanks to Martine for her excellent service! If you're wondering what it's like to be well received and served at a restaurant, a waitress who really cares about your well-being and makes you feel like someone special, come see Martine!

A smile and contagious good humor start the day off well, especially for lunch :)

Thanks again for the excellent service, you really made our day Saturday!“

Really enjoyed the experience!“

“Meilleur brunch de Montréal ! Exceptionnel, j’ai pris l’assiette du Caribou et une assiette sucrée (gaufre, brioche perdue…) tout est local et fait maison. La cuisine a du goût, des saveurs, une quantité très généreuse. Le service est rapide et parfait. Jamais mangé un brunch aussi bon de ma vie ! Merci Caribou Gourmand pour ce moment parfait.“
