It's no secret Montreal is the place to go for a next-level culinary experience. In fact, Montreal was ranked as one of the best cities in the world for food.
Whether you're into fine dining, casual eats, and/or cheaper bites, Montreal has everything to satisfy travellers during their time in la belle province.
While no visit to Montreal is complete without sampling our delicious poutine, bagels and Montreal-style smoked meat, we totally recommend venturing across the city to taste a little bit of everything.
From Lebanese cuisine, and Italian favourites to must-try Vietnamese spots and classic Quebecois casse-croûtes, here are nine Montreal restaurants that every visitor should add to their list in 2024.
Mezzmiz
Where: 1407 rue Crescent, Montreal, QC
Why You Need To Go: Taking Lebanese cuisine to a new level, Mezzmiz offers all your favourite dishes in a casual setting right in the heart of Downtown Montreal. If you're looking for an authentic Beirut-like experience, we recommend grabbing one of their Mezzmiches (sandwiches).
Restaurant Ho Guom
Where: 2035 rue Jean-Talon E., Montreal, QC
Why You Need To Go: A family favourite spot that allows you to bring your own alcohol, too. Restaurant Ho Guom offers delish Vietnamese cuisine in Montreal's Villeray borough including pho, bun cha muc nuoc, a citrus-infused, tomato-based noodle soup with whelks and fried fish cake, and the Bò Lá Lốt, which is grilled beef wrapped in betel leaf.
Mange Dans Mon Hood
Where: 1380 rue Jean-Talon E., Montreal, QC
Why You Need To Go: For classic Quebecois fanfare and a signature Montreal touch, Mange Dans Mon Hoods is a total must-try. We recommend grabbing their smash burgers and poutine for the ultimate foodie experience.

Lulu's Pasta Bar

Restaurant Mon Nan
Where: 43 rue. de la Gauchetière E., Montréal, QC
