Chilenita

Empanada heaven

152 Napoléon Street
(At de Bullion)
Montreal, QC H2W 1K8
Canada
+1 514 286 6075

Like its Plateau neighbourhood, La Chilenita is totally unpretentious: a cozy haven for those who are mad for empanadas, Chile's national snack. Here you get 13 varieties, including one with seafood, and the price of CAD1.90 can't be beat. Chilean sandwiches include the Barros Luco (CAD3.50), featuring grilled steak and cheese. If you're in a hurry, there's take-out as well. Cash (spare change, really) only. Second Location: 4348 Clark St, at Marie-Anne, +1 514 982 9212.

Lele da Cuca

Hot little gem 70 Marie-Anne Street East
Montreal, QC H2W 1A2
Canada
+1 514 849 6649
http://www.leledacuca.com/ The setting is tiny and the décor is simple, but the ambience is as hot as it comes in this Brazilian-Mexican gem tucked beneath the shadow of Mount Royal. Service is personalized, thanks to the effervescent presence of the owner. Dishes include the usual fajitas (CAD10.25) and quesadillas (CAD10.25), but these are complemented by Brazilian specialties like crevettes à baiana (shrimp cooked in coconut milk and spicy tomato sauce). You can bring your own wine, making this an outstanding bargain. It's usually packed, so be sure to reserve.

Milsa

Grill from Brazil 2045 Crescent Street
(Near de Maisonneuve)
Montreal, QC H3G 2C1
Canada
+1 514 985 0777 This was the first Brazilian churrascaria in town. The décor is uninspired, with exposed brick walls and plain wooden furniture; it is simple, yet cheery. The menu is just as simple, offering no appetizers and just three main dishes: a meat special, cornish hen and grilled fish. The meat special includes assorted cuts of beef, as well as turkey and chicken breasts cured in salt for 24 hours. All you can eat goes for around CAD20. The service is helpful and dinner for two, excluding wine or tip, comes to around CAD50.

Pucapuca

Cheerfully authentic 5400 St-Laurent Boulevard
(Near St-Viateur)
Montreal, QC H2T 1S1
Canada
This unassuming Mile End restaurant surprises with affordable, authentic Peruvian cooking. In keeping with the country's extended coastline, the menu emphasizes seafood with dishes such as shrimp bisque, smoked salmon and shark. Evening tables d'hôte include soup or salad, a selection of main courses and dessert. Occasional live music and an overall sense of good cheer make this one of the area's true hidden gems. Cash and debit cards only.
