Old Montréal
You’ll be elbowing your way through everyone from Armani-clad executives to disheveled artists to get a table at this popular bistro. Once settled, however, you can feast on a mouthwatering assortment of dishes, including artfully presented salads, a much-touted duck risotto with oyster mushrooms or favorites such as roasted sea bass on asparagus risotto.
Whether you want to eat inside or in the inviting outdoor courtyard, it’s wise to reserve ahead.
