The 38 Best Restaurants in Montreal

"Many consider this decades-old, low-key haunt in the Plateau a top contender for best poutine in the city. Known for its creative takes on the Québécois specialty, Chez Claudette offers diners options like the Soleil with two sunny-side-up eggs, the Galvaud with chicken and peas (a twist on a local dish of the same name), the Sucré-Salé with onion rings, honey, and sliced corn dogs, and the Cabane, an homage to Quebec’s sugar shack culture featuring ham, sausage, bacon, baked beans, and maple syrup — and that’s just a fraction of the options. If the lengthy menu feels daunting, rest easy knowing the basic trifecta — fries, curds, and gravy — never fails." - Valerie Silva
