Mac Bar and Fromage
What: Mac and cheese
Where: 1345 Rue Ontario E.
Macaroni and cheese is without a doubt one of my favourite foods, especially during autumn and winter. And, let me tell you, the mac and cheese at Mac Bar is out of this world.
I personally love the four-cheese mac, but every dish here oozes with flavour and is sure to leave you full and satisfied.
Rotisserie Panama
What: Saganaki (Fried Greek Cheese)
Where: 789 Rue Jean-Talon O.
Greeks know what's up when it comes to food. As a Greek myself, I am proud to know that my culture's food is fundamental to the Montreal food landscape.
When you think of Greek food, your mind most likely goes to gyros and feta cheese, but there is a lot more to our cuisine than most assume.
Saganaki is by far one of the best Greek dishes. If you have not yet tried it, it may just become your favourite. Rotisserie Panama gets it right every time.
Do yourself a favour and head on over to one of their 3 locations to try it out for yourself.
Burger Bar
What: Mozarella Sticks
Where: 1465 Rue Crescent
You can never have too many versions of fried cheese, right?
Mozzarella sticks are a perennial favourite and Burger Bar on Crescent in downtown Montreal makes, in my opinion, the best in the city.
Not only are these sticks perfectly fried and flavoured, but the accompanying marinara sauce takes this dish to a new level.
These fried mozzarella sticks of greatness are the perfect appetizer for your cheese lovers' date.
Fiorellino
What: Burrata
Where: 470 Rue de la Gauchetière O.; 381 Ave. Laurier O.
Fiorellino is an Italian restaurant that has killer lunch, dinner and after nine specials that are sure to have you returning time and time again.
As a sucker for all things cheese, I always get the burrata, as it is simply incredible. Its freshness is incomparable to anything you have ever tasted.
Everything made at this establishment is next level. With two locations in Montreal, there is no reason not to check it out.
