Do not skip dining in Montreal restaurants on your tour of Canada. Fine hosting and wonderful meals is the standard all day and night. A fine restaurant is everywhere you look in Montreal. Great ambiance and attention to the smallest of detail means every single meal this traveler has experienced in this charming city is worth my trip to Canada. Budget pricing is also a reason to visit this quaint town.
Some of the highest rated in the world call Montreal their home. Many feature classic haute cuisine and have exceptionally stocked wine cellars with some of finest French wines on this continent. Many restaurants are enhanced by fine Canadian art, real flowers, romantic lighting and of course white table linens. Montreal focuses on wonderfully prepared traditional dishes.
You will fine the best prime rib of beef, terrine of duck, venison medallions, and for the health conscious some of the best poached salmon you will ever lift to your lips. Dancing and live music is the Saturday night fare at some of the livelier cafes. How about the best steak you have ever tasted topped off with a selection of decadent French sauces. Traditional steakhouses in Montreal give beef lovers a touch of Paris.
Seafood is your meal you say. Taste some of the tastiest lobster in Montreal. Your favorite seafood is an order away in many Montreal cafes. You will make an excuse to come back for more trust me. And with wonderfully rustic decors, beamed ceilings and traditional Quebecois pine armoires you will be sitting comfortably while enjoying your meal.
You will want to call in advance for reservations at most of the fine restaurants in Montreal but even if you do not have one if there is room you will be seated immediately. There is no snobbery in this friendly city. In all restaurants I visited everyone was friendly and offered wonderful service.
French restaurants serve delectably prepared wonderfully seasoned dishes at night. But in selected cafes lunch has a particular draw because of moderate priced lunchtime specials. If you enjoy beef Wellington or candied duck during the middle of the day, you might want to visit when the prices are a little less expensive.
Do I need mention the decadent desserts of Montreal? Enough said. Remember save some room. Visionary venues provide soothing colors, intimate lighting and picturesque patinas; means a perfect place for you and your special someone. Italian style you ask. Luscious lasagna, perfect pasta, mouth watering manicotti, will remind you of Rome. Some of the best pizza ever prepared call Montreal home.
I love to cook. But I do not necessarily love to eat out. I usually leave the restaurant knowing I could have cooked a better meal and I could feed my family for a week on the money I spent on my dinner alone. But this is not the case when I am in Montreal. I could not match the cuisine and prices overall are the most reasonable I find for the quality of food and service. Take it from me Montreal restaurants are some of the best I have ever visited in the world.
As restaurant Montreal offers some of the finest cuisine, a Toronto restaurant also have outstanding desserts. If you’re thinking of eating a one-of-a-kind meal, remember to visit those restaurants!
