hands down, stop the presses, there ya go, this is my #1 pick for the true singular essence of Montreal Restauranteuring; it's an establishment for a reason (very nice but light on pretention, just like the owner). I would definitely make an effort to hit this place. (make a reservation)

i just love this place! no pretention, nothing complicated. don't be a prick, tip the staff, have a good night at a local institution. in summer the terrace in the back is great; take the time to walk around to see the GREAT graffiti from Under Pressure festivals of years past (and maybe you're.licky enough to be there to see the latest one live!). very bike friendly in the heart of the red light district.

MUCH bigger, at the heart of the city; just go west on Mont-Royal for about 2 miles and yo can't miss it. weekends are especially lively with younger crowds congregating around the George-Étienne Cartier monument you arrive at pretty much following mount Royal, then left up Parc street; it's called the Tam Tams and is a bit on the beatnik side but still pretty interesting to see; you can enter the park by following the path and let it walk you up the mountain.
