The emphasis is on French cuisine and service, but the multicultural nature of this
city means you can seek out dishes from all over the world.

You'll find posh eateries in the financial centre and business district
close to top hotels. Eat Greek at Milos on Parc Avenue. For traditional
French cuisine, go to Sherbrooke Street. Highly recommended O Chalet is home
to Mediterranean-inspired delights and Peel Street has a number of upmarket
establishments.
Sample Portuguese or Brazilian food on Ontario Street. Top-quality sushi bars line St
Catherine Street and romantic hideaways and grills are tucked away on Amherst.
Montreal is known for its smoked meat and corned beef. Montrealers love their
terraces; some of the best are on Mont Royal and residential side streets such as
Gilford. For a mix of art, live music and vegetarian food, St Laurent is the
place.
Tipping is a discretionary 10-15%. Some restaurants allow you to bring your own
bottle of wine. Late-night dining is centred on St Denis Street in the Plateau
district and a popular 24-hour diner is Club Sandwich in the Village.
