Montreal is proving yet again that it is one of the top culinary hot spots across the world, and Forbes would totally agree. The company recently released its list of Travel Guide Star Awards and two Montreal restaurants made the cut.
Forbes dropped the winners of its 2023 Star Awards, recognizing the "most outstanding hotels, restaurants and spas," across the globe that jet setters have to add to their travel bucket lists.
A total of 259 restaurants made up the crème de la crème of international dining spots, two of which are right here in Montreal.
Forbes uses an objective inspection process with over 900 criteria that its "highly trained inspectors" or secret travel agents, as we like to put it, use when inspecting both a service and a facility.
"Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest," Forbes stated.
Now, we're not talking about your run-of-the-mill restaurants here, chances are you won't just need to make a reservation far in advance for these spots, but you might want to put aside some savings for your culinary adventure, too.
So, which two notable Montreal eateries made the list?
