14 Prince Arthur Ouest

Fun and inexpensive

14 Prince Arthur Street West
(Near St-Laurent)
Montreal, QC H2X 1S3
Canada
+1 514 842 3512

This easily overlooked hideaway is unprepossessing in nearly every way, except of course for its food. The younger crowd enjoys enormous bowls of Tonkinoise soups: beef, chicken or duck with various vegetables are an astounding bargain at around CAD6. The menu, printed on rolls of Popsicle sticks, also offers slightly higher-priced Chinese and Vietnamese standards. The small-town Chinese restaurant décor and a chatty crowd complement the quick, efficient service. An added bonus is the hilarious store-bought cocktail menu, which tempts diners with a Tequila Sunrise or a Harvey Wallbanger.

Ginger

Smart set eatery 16 des Pins Avenue East
(Near St-Laurent)
Montreal, QC H2W 1N3
Canada
+1 514 844 2121 This Chinese-sushi fusion restaurant draws a smart crowd. The service is appropriately haughty but not overbearing, and still on the right side of friendly. The usual array of pan-Chinese cuisine is offered, from imperial rolls and wontons to fried noodles with pork or chicken, as well as a selection of sushi. Prices are a little high, but no one seems too concerned. The space is small and intimate, with stark, postmodern décor and attitude in keeping with the sophisticated diners. The terrace offers further opportunities to be seen.

Kaizen Treehouse Sushi Bar & Restaurant

Japanese/Asian fusion 4075 Ste. Catherine Street West
Montreal, QC H3Z 3J8
Canada
+1 514 707 8744 x111
http://www.70sushi.com This is an appropriately named place where customers can shut their eyes and dream of foreign lands amid the aroma of Japanese/Asian cuisine, pampering service and a joyful décor. It is very upscale and definitely pricey, but the dishes, from made-to-order Maki rolls (CAD7.50-13) and Nigiri and Sashimi (CAD4.25-12.25) to Fresh Caspian Caviar (CAD55-115 per ounce), are definitely worth the price of admission. Some might feel that it is extravagant, but do not try to get in without a reservation.

Mikado

Upscale Japanese 368 Laurier Avenue West
(Near du Parc)
Montreal, QC H2V 2K7
Canada
+1 514 279 4809 The elegant, modernist setting for this popular Japanese restaurant and sushi bar is perfectly in keeping with the excellent cuisine. Diners can choose from over 20 appetizers alone, ranging from dumplings to tempura to sushi and sashimi. Soups and salads precede a suitably giant selection of main courses. Steak, chicken, seafood and tempura platters are alternatives to the huge selection of sushi and sashimi. Second location at 1731 St-Denis Street, near Ontario (+1 514 844 5705).

Zen

Asiatic fusion 1050 Sherbrooke Street West
Montreal, QC H3A 2R6
Canada
+1 514 499 0801 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.
