“Holy hell, Montreal — is it really possible that I’m writing my seventh annual ‘Resto Wrongs’ column with so few notes?”

Monarque is the kind of place that became legendary the minute it opened in 2018.

“Perfectly roasted chicken, crispy fries and luscious gravy.”

Montreal’s first Omakase restaurant specializing in Edomae sushi.

Pasta Pooks is serving up some of the city’s best fresh pasta and hoagies from an intimate, park-side space.

Ryan Gray and Emma Cardarelli’s restaurant, now with head chef Dmetro Sinclair (ex-Salle Climatisée), is the best it’s been in years.

Meticulously sourced ingredients, refined execution and a concept with Michelin written all over it.

“Candide is an excuse to make people smile.”

Among Montreal’s most beautiful restaurants.

Nuance, precision and finesse.
