The Best Chic Restaurants in Montreal: our suggestions
"Alors que le Ferreira Café a resté plutôt discret lors de la première vague, Carlos, avec l’aide de son chef Joao, ont décidé d’offrir un menu midi pour emporter. Quelques classiques indétrônables sont d’ailleurs offerts comme le risotto aux champignons et cuisse de canard confit, la bouillabaisse de fruits de mer, la pieuvre et la morue en croûte de cèpes. Tous les plats (32$-56$) incluent une entrée."
"This perennially popular bakery and sandwich spot can feel somewhat out of place. With its cozy atmosphere in a plant-filled space, and its menu of warm panini, delicious sandwiches on artisanal breads, generous salads, and perfectly executed..."
"Drop your bags and head out to grab a coffee and a light bite at Olive & Gourmando. Then stroll down rue St-Paul, the oldest street in the city, and do a little browsing."
"The line that forms outside this seasonal Mile End gem practically snakes across the street to Wilensky’s. A wry Twitter account keeps an eye on things throughout the summer. Featured soft serve twists are far from ordinary: try caramel-pear, pandan, and coconut-strawberry, to name a few — or get scoops of the iconic salted butter flavour."
"If the line-ups here on a hot summer day are any indication, they’ve got something going with their ice cream, period. That being said, their seasonal swirl cones are the money maker. Changing every few weeks from combos like sour cherry and almond to blueberry and honey, the best summer challenge is to try and eat them all."
"Whether you choose sorbet or soft serve, the flavour options are absolutely delicious – not to mention unique. Looking for an exotic ice cream sundae option?. This is definitely an ice cream shop you want to visit on a warm summer night."
"Address: 4581 Avenue du Parc, Montréal, QC H2V 4E4Phone: (514) 843-5652Hours: Mon-Tue 5pm-9:30pm, Wed-Thu 11:30am-9:30pm, Fri-Sat 11:30am-10:30pm, Sun 11am-9:30pmWebsite: http://lolarosa.ca/en/. With three locations in Montreal and an extensive menu, Lola Rosa is a solid choice for any vegetable lover visiting or living in the city. Though the diverse menu primarily caters towards vegetarians, there are a few options for strict vegans."
"Follow your nose to the east end of the Plateau for a pure, unadulterated chocolate experience. Proprietress of pleasure, Edith Gagnon, is a master chocolatier who imports her goods from the French Maison Barry-Caillebeau, and mixes them with an eye, and palate, to decadent taste combinations like the ganache made fragrant with bergamot. Even the humble brownie is elevated in the hands of this artisan."
"Not all upper echelon coffee shops are fans of seeing all their patrons hang out for hours on their laptops. La Finca Coffee & Office not only tolerates its customers working on their laptops, but they actively encourage it. They serve thoughtful, well-made coffees from local roaster De Mello Palheta, and offer a range of tasty, sweet and savoury baked goods."
"Finca has expanded its offerings by curating a local marketplace in the space previously used as a meeting room. This airy downtown shop is boosted by a tidy menu of light meals from grilled cheeses to tartines, as well as one of the best secret terrasses in the city."
"On Saiko’s menu, you’ll find fantastic food and options to accommodate everyone’s preferences, as well as incredible desserts to finish off your meal."
"There was no hesitation when deciding to include Blossom on this list – it has been one of Montreal’s most beautiful restaurants since the day it opened!. It comes as no surprise that the cherry blossom tree in the centre of the dining area is the focal point of the decor. However, if you take a moment to look beyond the impressive indoor tree, you will be equally as amazed by the modern geometric design of the bar, the neutral tones of light wood and white walls, and the restaurant’s lighting."
"The answer is a sushi restaurant with a cherry blossom tree inside of it!. This tree is such a unique addition to the place and makes for excellent photos. The cherry blossoms will be a great addition to your Instagram feed!"
"Kampai Garden is a delightful beer garden on Montréal's Sainte-Catherine Street, originally opened to the public in 2016. The beautiful 10,000-square-foot space showcases an industrial-chic aesthetic created by designer Amlyne Phillips, offering two outdoor terraces for couples to cozy up on over beers during the warmer months. Extensive craft beer lists are complemented by an excellent cocktail menu crafted by Lawrence Picard."

"A post shared by Katherine Dufour (@kat_encavale) on Mar 18, 2017 at 9:53am PDT. Whether you’re stopping by for coffee or brunch, the beignets on the menu at Lawrence are nothing short of heavenly. Each beignet contains a different filling (chocolate, lemon, and custard), and each one is more delicious than the last.Where: 5201 St Laurent Blvd"
"Lawrence’s kitchen and dining room are currently closed, but takeout and delivery systems are up and running with the full menu made available; now and then they do take a break, but their work at the neighbouring Boucherie Lawrence are always available."
