My Personal Favorite Restaurants in Montreal:

Note: I have not been paid to advertise these places.  I love eating at these places and I am happy to provide a good word for them and a great dining experience for you!

Favorite Montreal Restaurants:

Les 3 Brasseurs (Many locations around Montreal) A brewery chain that serves up some great beer and food!  Plates are under $15 and beer is $9 for a litre or 6 for a pint!  My usual orders are the Blonde beer burger or the Carbonade (delicious beef stew).  My girlfriend loves the shrimp brochette and chicken brochette.  Best beer on tap is the Blonde.

Mango Bay (1202 Bishop st) Caribbean supreme!  A must for anyone who likes the islands!  Plan about $25 per person for a main course and a cocktail.  Get the Jerk Chicken plate or Mango Chicken plate with a rum and coke and your geared up for a good night!  Delicious!  Don’t go if you are in a hurray, you need to take your time and enjoy…  Everything is made to order so it can take a bit of time if it’s busy, but keep the rum flowing and enjoy the great islands atmosphere!  It’s the ultimate date place.

Mythos (5318 Avenue du Parc) Awesome Greek food.  Not the tzaziki laden souvlaki type… Real Greek food like you find in dinner restaurants in Greece.  Everything is good. Get the oven roasted lamb shank if you are into meat. You can’t find better lamb.  They also have a great fish counter.  Expect about $80 for dinner for two with a glass of wine and a shared appetizer.  A little pricey but so nice!

Bars!

You can’t come to Montreal without going out!  Lots of pubs, bars, and clubs to choose from!

In May, June, July, and September check out the Terrace at Saint Sulpice on Saint Denis.  The place is a mansion with about 20 rooms and the biggest terrace you can imagine.  Cheap beer and an upbeat crowd out to have a good time!

Tokyo bar on Saint Laurent is a fun Dance club with a low cover charge, good music and a roof top terrace.

Brutopia on cresant st south has live bands, and home made beers.  It’s a good place to go for a pub night.

Wednesday night’s mean McKibinns on Bishop st north of Saint Catherines.  You have to go to see what its about.  $20 all you can drink for men and $5 for ladies.  I wish I could remember even half the good times I’ve had there!

Enjoy!
