Dining out well in Montreal never meant staying out of the West Island. Ask anyone from that side of the island to recommend a spot, and they’ll easily recommend three to five places that are not only worth a meal, but they may very well have been around for decades.
Bistro Nolah, Smoke Meat Pete, Tacos Don Rigo, the Halle Berry-endorsed wings of Cunningham Pub, Vivaldi—from Pierrefonds to Pointe-Claire, L’Île-Perrot to DDO, there’s a lot, and before anyone starts sending us hate mail, we know: What we just named now isn’t even scratching the surface.
And more is coming: Saint-Henri and Little Burgundy formed their famed restaurant row in the last two decades, sure, and Villeray’s become the site of nationally lauded names and more.
