Tropikàl Restobar

Tropikàl was ranked the "Best Trailblazer" out of all new Canadian restaurants that opened this year — and it's the only Montreal spot to have made the list! As a restaurant that celebrates Caribbean, Afro-Latin and West African history, the ranking states that you can feel "a carnival-like energy that resonates in chef Jae-Anthony Dougan's cooking." Plus, it's got a stacked cocktail menu, which you can never go wrong with.
