Best Dinner Places to Eat in Laval

"Take one of the infamously good breakfast sandwiches to go, or really anything from the extensive menu. Takeout only for now, but delivery is in the works."

"What is it: The neighbourhood of Saint-Henri may have a lot of good restaurants, but its brunch was lacking up until Arthurs arrived. Serving Ashkenazi and Sephardic soul food, Arthurs’ menu is built off of Jewish classics like latkes, schnitzel, perogies and matze ball soups. Prior to opening this spot in 2016, owners Raegan Steinberg and Alex Cohen accrued a ton of experience working with the best restaurants in town, and that experience all coalesces here."

"A relative newcomer to Montréal’s Saint-Henri neighborhood, Arthur’s Nosh Bar has already become a local staple for brunch. Named after co-owner Raegan Steinberg’s late father, Arthur’s has carved out a culinary niche for itself by reimagining classic Jewish fare. Though you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, the house-smoked salmon, challah french toast and pancakes really shine."

"Arthurs is relatively new to the restaurant scene in Montreal (est. 2016), but there’s no stopping these guys now. The stylish place is deli-esque but far from traditional. The menu is comprised of Jewish cuisine with a spin."

"A staple on the Montreal vegan food scene in my times, Aux Vivres is still going strong, and has even expanded its dining room and opened a take away counter next door. In fact, it is more popular than ever – with great reasons. The food is incredible and will satisfy vegans and carnivores alike with offers such as bowls (the dragon bowl is a classic favourite!), sandwiches and salads and the famous weekend brunch."

"One of the city’s vegan strongholds features fresh-pressed juices, sandwiches, and healthy bowls, in a bright, almost kitschy spot on Saint-Laurent (now with a second location in Westmount). Available for takeout or delivery via UberEats, or place an order online for vegan staples from its adjacent store."

"Montreal's vegan claim to fame has its grocer side up and running, but its range of sandwiches, soups and more are available for order as well."

"This chic and refined French brasserie offers a great menu that has been worked down to perfection over the years and has a little something for all palettes and personalities. Here, you can eat French brasserie dishes that are superbly executed. Note that a set late night menu is available every evening starting at 10pm and a table d’hôte menu for lunch and dinner."

"This Laurier institution might get forgotten about in favour of newer and hipper offerings, but bistro staples like moules-frites and foie gras torchon never go out of style. While their regular menu prices itself in special occasion territory, their after-10 p.m. menu gets you an appetizer and main for only $28, making it easy to feel the love."

"Restaurant Leméac is best known as a chic brasserie with delicious French cuisine. However, part of what makes the food here so delicious is the beauty of the setting in which it is served. Leméac is designed in such a way that you will feel like you’ve traveled from modern day Montreal to a brasserie in France from a past era."

"Opening in the spring of 2017, Blumenthal was designed as a big nod to Montreal’s entertainment district where it resides. In fact, the restaurant’s profits go toward supporting Montreal’s open-air arts festivals, including the city’s celebrated Jazz Festival, and the brasserie’s floor to ceiling picture windows look out on al fresco performing spaces. There’s an organic flourish inside, where a big clusia tree sprouts and green vines hang from the ceiling, all hinting at the local sourcing that drives the kitchen’s reconfigured French classics."

"Up and open from their downtown location, this brasserie has a lot of light and easy snacking on offer from tartelettes and tartares to grilled vegetable dishes and canapé boxes (for when you have difficulty choosing). Place your order from Monday to Friday, 9am to 1pm, for takeout the next day."

"Auberge du Dragon Rouge is an off-the-beaten-path medieval tavern complete with service staff dressed in period-appropriate garb where you can eat with your hands if you want. This unique restaurant serves a solid brunch completed with standard eggs and bacon fare, but the service comes at a premium cost. If you're looking for an entertaining way to spend the brunch hour on weekends (from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.), you can get lost in the theater of Auberge due Dragon, which is located on the corner of Lajeunesse and Émile-Journault near the Crémazie Metro station."

"Not every parent can stomach a theatrically executed themed restaurant, but for those who can, head up to Ahuntsic and take in the spectre of medieval France here. Dragon Rouge has a proper production company behind it, focusing on “immersive experiences”. The menu, laden with meaty festin options, fits the theme, and fares decently, though it’s not very vegetarian-friendly."

"A framed portrait of Tony Koulakis, remembered by locals as the “man of grease” and “god of the potatoes” still watches over the grills at this 50-something-year-old NDG hole in the wall. Rub shoulders with regulars at the elbow-worn counter and answer the “what’ll it be today” question with the immaculate Creation sandwich, a melty BLT made for breaky with its fillings of egg, salami and a slice of Kraft cheese. Another good response is the mish-mash omelette, which comes in at an artery-clogging 1,900 calories."

"Sitting at the counter of pocket-sized greasy spoon Cosmos may be out of the question at the moment, but getting one of its house omelettes (tomato, onion, cheese, bacon, ham, salami, and sausage) with a side of hash browns isn’t. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by @thefamouscosmos"

"Nobody handles breakfast quite like the legendary Cosmos, where margarine and flat top management reign supreme. Subject of Ezra Soiferman's 2000 documentary Man of Grease."

"Although small and discreet, Chez Sophie is one of the best restaurants in town. Chef Sophie Tabet has worked in many Michelin-starred restaurants, including L’Astrance in Paris (3 Michelin stars) and Dal Pascatore in Italy (3 Michelin stars). Together with her husband (and in-house sommelier) Marco Marangi, the talent opened two very successful restaurants in Lebanon before deciding to move back to Montreal and open Chez Sophie on Notre-Dame Street West."

"If you order no later than 11am and pick up from 4pm onwards, you can grab yourself a nice meal to enjoy with wine at a 25% discount."

"The last dish was a Wagyu roll, hit with a blowtorch, and a tuna belly roll in a similar treatment. (2 separate magical rolls) loved... (514) 446-1468Order online"

"St. HenriWhat you're getting: Laksa Lemak or steamed bunsIn the summer, the Satay Brothers peddle their expertly made Singaporean fare from a colourful stall at Atwater Market, and the lines go around the block. But in wintertime, the brothers can be found just around the corner in St. Henri -- and their food is no less vibrant, fragrant, and cheap, at less than $10 for a decent meal."

"Open for takeout, Satay Brothers is making the menu of irresistible steamed pork buns, fried noodle dishes, papaya salads, spicy laksa soup (extra sambal plz) and more now available. https://order.chkplzapp.com/satay-brothers/menus"

"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."
