10Best Canadian
Brontë
(Restaurants - Canadian)
1800, rue Sherbrooke ouest Méridien Versailles Hotel, Montréal  H3H 1E4 • 514-934-1801
        Description: Young chef-owner Joe Mercuri, former sous chef at Cube, has made a name for himself over the past few years. At the fashionable Brontë, he creates complex flavors and textures using market fresh ingredients in dishes such as sweetbread with shrimp, chorizo, pumpkin seeds and a shellfish emulsion, or guinea fowl with seared foie gras, red quinoa, dried cranberries, hazelnuts and cippolini onions. Desserts are just as complex and rewarding. Try the seven-course tasting menu for a solid overview of the chef's talents.

Brulerie Saint-Denis
(Restaurants - Canadian)
1587, rue Saint-Denis, Montréal  H2X 3K3 • 514-286-9159
        Description: Perch at one of the tables on the terrace to people watch and nibble a croque-monsieur after a long afternoon of taking in the sights. Or stop for a late night caffeine injection from one of the imported, roasted-on-the-spot coffees before you head out for a night of dancing. Either way, you'll fall for the selections at this 20-year-old establishment that is most popular with the locals.

Chez L'Épicier
(Restaurants - Canadian)
311 rue St-Paul est, Montréal  H2Y 1H3 • 514-878-2232
        Description: If you're craving quality food, simply prepared and served in casual surroundings, head over to this fashionable eatery. Fresh ingredients are given prominence, and there are no repetitions; each dish is carefully and uniquely constructed. Enjoy the pan-fried Marieville foie gras escalope served as a napoleon with gingerbread, butternut squash purée, shallot compote with dried prunes, duck juice vinaigrette and allspice. The cuisine is creatively Québécois, meaning that, while many of the components are produced locally, it also takes advantage of French techniques. It's also a good place to pick up take-out for the comfort of your own home.

La Chronique
(Restaurants - Canadian)
99, rue Laurier Ouest, Montréal  H2T 2N6 • 514-271-3095
        Description: Multiple-award winning La Chronique is a standout by any standard. Chef Marc de Canck's interpretation of New American market cuisine incorporates regional ingredients with exotic, global flavors – with fabulous results. Duck confit ravioli, pot au feu, veal filet with morels, and red tuna tartare are just some of the possibilities, and guests can choose a multi-course tasting menu, the three-course prix fixe option, or order from the a la carte menu. De Canck has extensive experience as a pastry chef, so do not pass up dessert!

Le Club Chasse et Pêche
(Restaurants - Canadian)
423 rue St-Claude, Montréal  H2Y 3B6 • 514-861-1112
        Description: Despite its rustic-sounding name, this widely praised restaurant is stylish and clubby, with ample amounts of dark wood and leather upholstery. Indeed, there's not a stuffed grizzly or mounted sturgeon in sight. The menu, however, features an abundance of game and fish, in sometimes wacky-sounding presentations that never fail to impress critics and foodies alike. Try scallops with fennel purée and lemon emulsion, or seared bison with physalis, cashews and chocolate. Desserts are beautiful and worth every calorie.

Magnan Restaurant
(Restaurants - Canadian)
2602, St-Patrick, Pointe St-Charles  H3K 1B8 • 514-935-9647 • 866-662-4626
        Description: Still going strong since 1932, this unassuming tavern/restaurant across the river from downtown Montréal specialized in simple steak and seafood dishes served up in generous portions. The cold lobster is a must and there are surprisingly fresh seasonal vegetable sides like creamed turnips. Try the interesting selection of local brews to wash it down. Save room for dessert like the pudding chomeur covered in brown sugar syrup or a thick slice of pie.

Moishes
(Restaurants - Canadian)
3961, blvd St-Laurent, Montréal  H2W 1Y4 • 514-845-1696 • 514-845-3509
        Description: Considered by locals to be one of Canada's best steakhouses, Moishes has been serving delectable steaks since opening in 1938. Should you not care for steak, other choices include salmon, char, veal and lamb. Each charcoal broiling comes with signature Monte Carlo potatoes or hand cut french fries. Great service from the waitstaff, and the wine list is thoroughly impressive, garnering a Wine Spectator award.
