"Montreal isn’t particularly known for Neapolitan-style pizza, but when you’re looking for a thin-crust, made-to-order pie, Gema makes one of the best. This place uses top-quality ingredients and makes all their charcuterie in-house. You can also get frozen custard, and during the summer, there’s a little takeout window where you can grab dessert to eat while strolling around Little Italy, which is basically the perfect summer evening in Montreal."

"While this Little Italy gem may be better known for slinging pies, the secret’s out on its homemade frozen custard too. Served from a walk-up window, the rich and creamy treat is made in-house with dairy from Laiterie Chagnon in Waterloo, Quebec and offered in traditional flavours⁠—pistachio, vanilla, and chocolate⁠—that are switched up on the regular."

"Gema Pizzeria may be one of Montreal’s finest pizzeria’s, but Gema also has a counter selling extraordinary soft ice cream. Thanks to chef Michele Forgione’s recipe, Gema is now a Tastet favourite for ice cream. Whether it’s vanilla or chocolate ice cream, dipped in chocolate or caramel, the outcome is ice cream heaven!"

"What is it: There’s a rich tradition of greasy spoons in Québec—known as casse-croûtes in these parts—and they’re all endearingly celebrated as much as they’re a chagrin to waistlines. If there was ever a question about what a premium case-croûte would be like, Chez Tousignant is the answer. Classic but with the quality seems the common mantra here, as chefs Yann Turcotte and Michele Forgione used their skills with tremendous focus to create quality elements, from hamburger and hotdog buns to fries, patties, and gravy."

"This Quebec snackbar owned by Stefano Faita, Michele Forgione and Yann Turcotte, makes great burgers. They wanted to compete with fast food chains by offering a better version. So at Chez Tousignant, allow yourself to devour a classic burger in a fantastic setting of a 50s/60s diner."

"Komomo does all-vegan sushi, but even lovers of seafood have been known to concede that its rolls, from California to Kamikaze, can compete with the fishy counterparts. Order online or pick up at the takeout counter, which has taken over for Momo in the wake of the pandemic."

"A trip to this Brazilian steakhouse’s all-you-can-eat is made all the better when considering it’s one of the best steakhouses in Montreal. The charrascos here—a Brazilian classic—are a culinary classic, where meats like filet mignon, lamb, chicken and homemade sausages are grilled to perfection and served directly to you table on the spit. All you need to do is ask for more as you watch live samba performances."

"A post shared by Milsa Grillades Brésiliennes (@lemilsachurrasco). Food just tastes better when it’s served to you on a spit. Le Milsa serves arguably the best churrasco in the city and they serve a lot of it."

"Summit Woods Park is a great place to go for a hike if you don’t want to get off the island. It’s an ideal spot for people who want to reward their dog with smells, greens, and a challenging trek. The forest is absolutely mesmerizing, worthy enough to make you question whether or not you’re even still in Montreal."

"Dorschester Square is a local heritage sire known for its architectural and urban landscape. The square is surrounded by an architectural ensemble of exceptional quality that testifies to the various periods of development of the downtown area. It remains today as one of the most prestigious spaces in Montreal which have been established, often for a long time, important civil and religious institutions."

"Dorchester Square is a sizeable space right smack in the middle of downtown. It’s the perfect pit stop to take a break from the constant buzz of downtown. The park’s main attraction is Montreal’s only equestrian statue, which pays homage to the Boer War."

"On Rue Peel turn south to Dorchester Square and admire the impressive Sunlife Building. This is a great photo stop as you will have a lovely view of Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral and Montreal’s tallest skyscraper. 1000 de la Gauchetiere."

"A hip, lighthearted spot that hit the ground running when it first opened in 2010, Fabergé has since become a Mile End go-to for nourishing hangover cures. The interior is open and airy, which does well to accommodate the hordes of famished bunchers the restaurant receives on the regular, and the menu has a distinct ‘turned up to 11’ character about it. The menu is lengthy and features arrays of creative eggs Benedicts, breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, and more— as well as a bunch of wacky and decadent outliers."

"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..."

"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!"
