Reflections of India
3490 Parc Avenue
(Near Sherbrooke)
Montreal, QC H2X 2H5
Canada
+1 514 844 3178
This restaurant offers the fine cuisine of India in a setting that reflects that country's rich culture. Aside from à la carte selections and the usual curries, the menu allows you to choose full-course meals such as Bhoona Beef, Cauliflower Bhaji, Pilau Rice, Papadum and dessert. There are also three-course business luncheons on weekdays. Beautiful traditional décor, attentive service and very reasonable prices make this one of the best deals for Indian cuisine in the city.

Montreal, QC H3B 4A5
Canada
+1 514 861 3511
The chef at this landmark restaurant is patriotic to Canada's culinary heritage, but from time to time adds a touch of the British Empire. Located in the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, the restaurant has seen many a juicy steak diced, sliced and devoured. Service is prompt and attentive and the wine list is extensive by the bottle or glass. If you are in the mood, try out their martinis, which are rated among the best in the city.

Café Presto


Italian bistro
1244 Stanley Street
(Near Ste-Catherine)
Montreal, QC H3B 2S7
Canada
+1 514 879 5877
For downtown coziness, it is hard to beat this tiny Italian bistro, where the food is home-style and the atmosphere, with less than a dozen tables, is as intimate as your mother's kitchen. Décor is art deco, with prints of old-time movie stars on the walls. Penne Arrabbiata, spicy Italian Sausage and Presto (house) salad are typical dishes; none add up to more than CAD10 per person. The final treat is the ringing of a cowbell when you pay your bill. This is a real star on the business lunch scene.

Offering traditional Italian specialties in an elegant, modern décor, this large, popular downtown restaurant is perfect for business lunches and other occasions. Appetizers include Insalata Caprese and other traditional specialties. Pastas and chicken or veal dishes offer a few surprises on the fairly conservative menu. Distinctive choices include spaghettini in roasted red pepper-tomato sauce with seared scallops and smoked salmon, and grilled peppered veal fillet stuffed with St André cheese in port-mushroom sauce. An extensive and well-researched wine list rounds out the meal.

Caveau


Gilded age

Montreal, QC H3A 2A3
Canada
+1 514 844 1624
Along with Les Halles and a few others, this is one of Montreal's true culinary institutions; the draw is traditional French fare drenched in butter and bursting from plates and bowls with calories. From the escargots appetizer through a magnificent confit de canard to crème caramel desserts and the expensive, extensive wine list, this is a real glimpse into Montreal's high society. The 100-year-old building is a striking island of Victorian architecture in a sea of high-rise development.

Montreal, QC H2Z 1E9
Canada
+1 514 878 9888
The Holiday Inn Select's landmark Chinese oasis remains one of Montreal's unique dining experiences. The décor is a collection of sculptured gardens, babbling brooks and other exotic touches, and the menu is similarly impressive. The Dim Sum lunch is especially popular and won't set you back more than CAD40, while Sunday Brunch offers a lavish buffet. Peking Duck is the house specialty, while other favourites such as General Tao's Chicken are prepared with uncommon skill. The Lotus Bleu bar is a tranquil spot for a pre- or post-dinner drink.

This Old Montreal restaurant has been dishing out fish and seafood delights for as long as most people can remember. And it's the place to be if you like to hobnob with the city's power brokers. But don't expect to score any big deals here: everyone is too busy eating. Standouts on the menu include everything from lobster and oysters to Canadian arctic char and halibut.

Located within the spectacular Inter-Continental Hotel, just off the edge of Old Montreal, this Victorian-style bistro prides itself on a casual, informal and upbeat ambiance.

Located in an 1862 building designed by famed architect Henri-Maurice Perrault, this Old Montreal restaurant features warm, intimate and cheering décor amid thick greystone walls. The menu offers both table d'hôte and à la carte selections, and includes all the classic French dishes: from a roasted capon breast and chestnut confit to the surf and turf. If you really feel like splurging, try the Sabayon Chez Queux dessert. Wine Spectator considers the cellar "one of the most outstanding in the world."

Montreal, QC H3G 2A9
Canada
+1 514 397 1408
When it comes to sophisticated upscale Chinese cuisine geared toward Western palates, this Crescent Street restaurant is Montreal's grande dame. The décor is simple and low key, with polished settings and a worldly air—not much casualness here. After all, this was once Pierre Elliott Trudeau's favorite place to dine. Szechuan is the order of the day here and the dishes are lightly spiced.

This lively, upscale bar and bistro in Old Montreal hosts an older but still jovial after work and pre-theater crowd. Bustling atmosphere, well-worn but graceful decor and soft background music give this spot an unusually convivial elegance. The acclaimed menu is all over the map. Appetizers include a Brie and Hazelnut Turnover. Baguette sandwiches (pâté de campagne, are served with crisp Belgian fries, while pastas focus on a lighter touch at surprisingly reasonable prices. The bar is justifiably famous, too.

Designed by Montreal architect Joe Zorko, this elegant restaurant is a recent addition to the downtown dining scene and is a favourite for a leisurely business lunch or an after-work cocktail. Service is prompt and courteous, and the servings are generous. The goat cheese pizza with olives and sun-dried tomatoes is highly recommended. The subdued lighting, burnt orange paint, wood paneling and dark green floor tiles create a warm and intimate setting.

Fouquet's


Upscale namesake
2180 de la Montagne Street

Montreal, QC H3G 1Z7
Canada
+1 514 284 2132
This luxurious downtown French restaurant is the second opened abroad by the renowned Fouquet's of Paris (the other, strangely enough, is in Mexico City). The décor is more modern and the clientele more nouveau-riche than at Les Halles or the other truly haute French restaurants in the area. Still, the dishes represent the classics of French cuisine, from an escargots Bordelaise appetizer through magnificent artistic creations of beef, lamb and seafood. The wine list, like the menu, is extravagantly priced but very well researched.

How can a restaurant so new look so nicely aged? The décor and most of the furniture was brought here from its old location in 1997. An old standby for business lunches, Joe's is a solid bet provided you're not looking for effervescent service or exotic cuisine. Stick to the steaks of all shapes and sizes - from a modest 10oz entrecôte to filet mignon and New York cuts, all grilled to perfection and covered, if you wish, with a potent house blend of garlic and spices.

One of Montreal's first Japanese restaurants, this downtown institution has been vying for the city's sushi title for more than a quarter of a century. Soothing décor and a striking sushi bar contribute to the sophisticated and calm atmosphere. The sushi menu is enormous, representing the full range of maki rolls and sashimi; various platters allow you to combine the tried-and-true with more exotic choices. Tamer palates will be satiated by traditional teriyaki dishes (steak, chicken), sukiyaki and tempura specialties.

Aside from perhaps the Beaver Club, this Bishop Street institution hosts the most established power scene in the city, the tastefully decorated interior has seen some of Montreal's best known faces. Despite this, the overall effect suggests relaxed sophistication more than an old boys' club. The Provençale cuisine, under the direction of Jacques Muller, is unabashedly carnivorous, hearty and expensive: the Pescadou, a traditional French seafood soup, is an oft-mentioned specialty.

The décor is practically non-existent, but the ambience is real, with none of the hype that sometimes makes you cringe at the mention of Irish pubs. It is here that the traditionalists gather on St Paddy's, packed in tighter than sardines, to listen to authentic music or to make as much noise as possible.

Chic ambience, upbeat décor, a bright and lively crowd and a wide choice of menu items make this Crescent Street spaghetti house a favourite, both among those looking for a decent meal and those using it as a stepping stone for a night on the town. Dishes include calamari, a variety of pasta plates, and substantial meat dishes such as a costoletto di vitello. One common complaint is that the service could be a little more polite and involved. Dinner for two, excluding wine or tip, comes to between CAD60-80.

Combining influences from China, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, this restaurant located in the Hotel Omni Montreal creates "Zen fusion" cuisine that ranks among the best in Montreal. The décor is charmingly minimalist, but the food is presented with artistic flair. For less than CAD30, you get to choose from a menu of more than 40 items including barbecued fish with seaweed, Hunan dumplings, Cuttlefish Cakes and Crispy Duck. Dinner for two, excluding wine and tip, comes to between CAD60-80. Reservations are recommended.

If you're looking for good cheer and lively conversation to accompany a hearty Portuguese meal, then this boisterous restaurant in the heart of Montreal's Plateau district is where you want to be—especially on a cold Montreal evening. It's like walking into a Mediterranean inn. All the Portuguese delights are here, including the whole range of fish and seafood from cod to calamari.
