Canne à Sucre

Haitian food

5322 St-Laurent Boulevard
(Near Maguire)
Montreal, QC H2T 1S1
Canada

Conch and young goat are two of the Creole specialties offered at this Haitian restaurant in the city's former garment district. Both the food and prices are high-end, but the service is leisurely and charming, as is the discreet bistro-chic ambience. The wine list is not extensive at five whites and five reds, but is reasonably priced. An added attraction is the weekend nightclub that shares the premises.

Gourmand

Cajun flavoured 42 Ste-Anne Street
(Near Lakeshore)
Montreal, QC H9S 4P8
Canada
+1 514 695 9077 Set in an out-of-the-way location on Montreal's West Island, this Cajun-flavoured French restaurant attracts clientele from both the nearby suburbs and the hard-to-please downtown crowd. What is its secret? A casual atmosphere combined with sophisticated cuisine, and a to-die-for setting in a stone house with flower-covered terrace. Main dishes include grilled filet mignon with roasted corn and black-bean salsa.. Wines are also available, service is friendly and courteous.

Irazu

Costa Rican cuisine 1028 St-Zotique Street East
(At Christophe-Colombe)
Montreal, QC H2S 1N2
Canada
+1 514 279 0027 It is a little off the beaten track, but worth the journey for a taste of home-style Costa Rican cuisine. Choose from a selection of dinner platters for under CAD10: try the deep-fried empanadas stuffed with mozzarella cheese or the tamales stuffed with chicken, potato and beans. For the main event, try the pork cutlet smothered in fried onions or shrimp with garlic (CAD12.95). The carne casado is a carnivore's delight centred around a steak marinated in a house recipe. There is also a daily seafood dish.

Jardin Du Cari

Fresh to order 21 St-Viateur Street West
(Near Clark)
Montreal, QC H2T 2K7
Canada
+1 514 495 0565 "Fresh to order" is the motto for this unpretentious Guyanese/Caribbean/Indian restaurant in Mile-End. The décor is homey, with some 20 seats. However, more than half the business for this family-run establishment is take-out. Dishes include Roti (shrimp, mutton, boneless chicken, chickpea and potato); it is some of the best in Montreal, especially when you add the house sauce, which is homemade from scotch bonnets. Cash only.
