Description:
Winner of multiple awards, from the esteemed DiRoNa to Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence, Le Muscadin has set the bar on fine Italian dining quite high. The atmosphere is elegant and refined without being stuffy or pretentious; the menu is simultaneously sophisticated and accessible. You might start with salmon-wrapped hearts of palm or snails in white wine-cream-garlic sauce. For the pasta course, try spaghetti carbonara or gnocchi with tomato sauce and lamb. Main courses are lovely and varied – choose from veal, beef, chicken or seafood. Among Montréal's finest. |

Description:
Serving fine, traditional Italian cuisine, this restaurant has been a city institution since 1979. Expensive, definitely, but many clamor for the delicious food, which changes depending on the constantly evolving menu. The table d'hôte selections are terrific if you want a luxurious dining experience with several courses, but the à la carte fare is great, too. Among the options you'll find are pastas, veal, seafood and even more exotic dishes like sweetbreads. The risotto also has quite a good reputation among regulars. Many Italian wines are available. |

Amelio's |
|
(Restaurants - Italian) |

201, rue Milton, Montréal H2X 1V5 514-845-8396
|
|
Distance:
~1.188 km * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
Affordably, fabulously flavorful and eminently satisfying. Amelio's is a tried-and-true standby in the McGill area, serving up great thick-crusted pizzas and pastas. It's not a fancy spot for a romantic dinner – this is hearty food in a super-casual atmosphere. Understandably, students make up a large percentage of the clientele, but the place is worth checking out even if you're a PhD. |

Galiano's |

|
|
Distance:
~1.413 km * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
It is not often that you stumble across an Italian restaurant that features home cooking rather than haute cuisine. If you find yourself craving a simple carbonara or the fresh green taste of basil on succulent (not sweet) tomato sauce on pizza, step into Galiano's. The rustic interior with exposed brick archways and wood floors only enhances the feeling of being at an Italian grandmother's kitchen. If you listen carefully you can almost hear her say, "Mangia!" when the dishes are placed in front of you. |

Description:
This stylish restaurant, aglow with polished woods and pale, sculptural walls, resides between the Ritz-Carlton and the Museum of Fine Art on one of Montréal's most fashionable streets.

The pasta course includes such delights as rabbit-stuffed ravioli, wild mushroom risotto, and spinach and ricotta gnocchi. If you manage to save room for dessert (you should!), look to the iced praline parfait or white chocolate mousse for your sweet fix. An array of wines and liqueurs provides the perfect complement to each dish. |

Description:
Come hungry and expect heaping plates of food to satisfy even the most gnawing of early morning pangs. However, if you are hankering for greasy, artery-clogging options look elsewhere, as the Petit Marche specializes in the fresh, the light and the tastefully prepared. Try poached eggs with fruit, roasted potatoes and tomatoes Provencal, or salmon rolled with a melange of cheeses and capers. For the ultimate value, bring a partner as the portions could easily accommodate two appetites. |

BU Bar à Vin |

Description:
Many folks come here just for the wine, and honestly that is a fine reason. They have a wide variety of wine, with weekly by-the-glass specials that encourage repeat visits. But the food, designed to complement the wine, could stand on its own quite easily. The menu is comprised of several sections of hot and cold antipasti (think Italian-style tapas) such as caponata, brandade, crostini, grilled vegetables, walnuts and olives, carpaccio, salad Caprese, and charcuterie platters. Substantial enough to be a meal, but small enough to serve as appetizers if you're on your way to dinner somewhere else, and all decidedly delicious. |

Il Mulino |

|
Distance:

 |
| |
Description:
Careful preparation of the freshest ingredients gives Il Mulino an edge in Little Italy, where Italian restaurants are abundant. The menu changes frequently, as you might expect, which not only allows the kitchen to use only the best produce but encourages repeat visits. Italian food fans will not be bored here! There are plenty of distinctive pastas, but if you want a bit more protein, try the osso bucco, grilled octopus,
Baccala alla Livornese (salt cod with tomatoes, garlic and basil) or stuffed veal chops. |
