Montreal has the largest concentration of restaurants per capita in Canada. It should come as no surprise then, that our city welcomed a bunch of new serious players in the business recently. If you’re a foodie or even just an amateur food enthusiast, you will be thankful for this list. Gastronomic variety is something our city is quite familiar with. Having said that, without further ado, I’d like to present to you ten new Montreal restaurants that you must try ASAP(listed in no particular order).
