Casavant

The 38 Best Restaurants in Montreal, Canada | Eater

"Mondays can be tough, not least because so many of Montreal’s restaurants are off for a well-deserved rest. But not Casavant, a Bib Gourmand-winning, nouveau French brasserie that set up shop on a Villeray street corner. Open seven days a week and serving food until midnight, it’s a great spot to have in your back pocket. A beef tartare amped up with smoked mackerel, sausage on mash, and a pasta du jour are staples on the trim menu, which gets tweaked with the seasons. The wine list (and gorgeous centerpiece cellar holding the goods) are a main draw, which should come as no surprise given the restaurant partners hail from much-loved Montreal wine bar Vinvinvin. Vibe check: The brilliant art deco-inspired design, including a striking suspended lamp by Italian glass artist Carlo Nason, call to passersby through the window." - Valerie Silva
