Top Best American Restaurants in Montreal

"This Mont Royal mainstay got its start in 1942 when newlyweds Hymie and Freda Shkolnick (RIP) took over Bancroft Snack Bar across from what once was a hockey rink. Word about Freda’s mish-mash omelette and Hymie’s bowling nickname “Beauty” quickly spread, and the rest is history. Nowadays it’s hard to come by a blue booth or counter stool without a short lineup, but the wait is nothing that a Beauty’s Special—a bagel sandwich with lox, red onion, capers and cream cheese—can’t make better."

"One of my friendliest food experiences in Montreal was breakfast at family-owned Beauty's. Beauty's Restaurant was founded in 1942 by Hymie & Freda Sckolnick when they bought the Bancroft Snack Bar. As their luncheonette grew in popularity, patrons began referring to it by Hymie's bowling nickname, Beauty's."

"Seventy years later Beautys is still serving fresh, homemade food on the same corner. Ninety year old Hymie & his son Larry, along with his children, are proud to welcome customers from all over the world."

"Nouveau Palais is a Mile-Ex classic where customers are greeted warmly and hearty dishes are served at your table. We concur that this « burger and fries palace » makes one of the best burgers in town so don’t hold back from adding bacon and cheese to your order. The portions are plentiful, starting with the large bun!"

"Deville Dinerbar is a fun retro spot serving up delicious burgers and milkshakes. While the burgers didn’t beat Burger Bar for us, we still really loved the food here!. As you can tell, it’s also got some pretty Instagram-worthy decor."

"The Best Comfort Food in Montreal : where to treat yourself We all like to warm our souls with great comfort food. Here at Tastet, we’ve put together a list […]"

"Deville is the place to go if you want a limited and over priced menu. Everything in there is very generic and not tasty. My friend order a salad and got..."

"Poutine, that glorious Quebecois invention featuring french fries and cheese curds doused in gravy, is a must for every first time visitor to Montreal. The most famous spot is La Banquise, which servers poutine to the hungry (sometimes drunken) masses 24 hours a day. I asked my friend Jodi, a local, for her recommendation, and she suggested Frite Alors!"

"If you don’t want to venture as far as La Banquise, you could just go to Frite Alors!. in the Latin Quarter. It also has delicious poutine and it’s a little more centrally located. But La Banquise is a classic for a reason, in my opinion, so I think it’s worth it to go."

"The pogo was undercooked lol...Poutine was ok.I used to go to the frite alors near udem a lot when I was going to school. Now the sauce is not the same a..."

"For over half a century, Mister Steer has been serving one of the most popular kosher burgers in Montreal!. The industrial-looking interior speaks to American restaurant chains yet the burgers are excellent. The best-known are the Mr. Steerburger, Mr. Baconburger and Mr. Cheeseburger."

"One of the sole reliable cheap breakfasts in the downtown area, Mister Steer is known for its burgers, but it also has diner classics, including the option for Steerburger and eggs."

"The customer service at this restaurant is absolutely horrendous, I went there and was turned away, with no explanation. From inside the restaurant, an e..."

"Build-your-own-burger spots have never been so delicious or cheap, and that’s just the cost of a double burger. What makes these burgers a step up—hell, two or three steps up—from your average fast food joint is because of the patties. Made from an exceptional marinated beef recipe, they get sandwiched between buns that are glazed on the outside and crisp on the inside (they won't tell us where they get them from) and it makes for a irreplicable package."

"Fun, Festive and Affordable: good times at a good price Sometimes, there’s nothing better than a relaxed evening out at a restaurant – one where your date’s voice is louder […]"

"Burger de Ville is a family-owned business that started in 2009. These are premium quality burgers, made with fresh produce and they are delicious. The prices are reasonable, there are no airs and graces about the place and everyone is very friendly."

"Located by the Mirabel airport, this place packs in a lot of retail favourites that range from basic to the high-end with brands like Pajar, Moose Knuckles, The North Face and Kate Spade. As the name implies, you’ll be getting all your favorites at a great deal; the offerings at the Mirabel Outlets are where you go to grab the discounted goods. To finish it off, have a Beaver Tail at Queues de Castor, but we can’t guarantee they’ll be at outlet prices."
