Old Montreal Cafés and Restaurants
The following are restaurants and cafés in Old Montreal that we profiled:
- Aix Cuisine du Terroir
711 Côte de la Place d'Armes (Old Montreal), (514) 904-1201
Aix offers French-inspired "country" cuisine. - Bonaparte
443 rue St-François-Xavier (Old Montreal), (514) 884-4368
A romantic Classic French restaurant. Three meticulously appointed dining rooms. The service is good, although somewhat formal. Although many patrons are tourists (the restaurant is located downstairs from a small hotel), Le Bonaparte is definitely not a tourist trap - it is well-known and respected in the city. - Chez Queux
158 rue St-Paul Est (Old Montreal)
Traditional French cuisine. - Gibby's
298 place d'Youville (Old Montreal), (514) 282-1837
A well-known steak and seafood restaurant. Cabs waiting in line outside will give you an indication of its popularity. - La Gargote
351 Place d'Youville (Old Montreal), (514) 844-1428
Although the word “Gargote” means “cheap restaurant” or “diner” in French slang, this bistro actually offers fairly upscale versions of classic French dishes (with some North African influences). - Olive + Gourmando
351 rue St-Paul Ouest (Old Montreal), (514) 350-1083
An extremely popular café-bakery (so popular, in fact, that sometimes it's difficult to get a seat as there are only about a dozen tables). Passable coffee and excellent pastries made in-house. - Titanic
445 rue St-Pierre (Old Montreal), (514) 849-0894
A semi-basement café serving breakfast and lunch (weekdays only). - Veritas
480 Boulevard St-Laurent (Old Montreal), (514) 510-7775
A modern café serving healthy food and first-class (but "third-wave") coffee.
