"At Leméac, you’ll find some of the best French bistro fare in Montreal, including blood pudding, steak frites, moules frites, and a legendary pain perdu (French toast) drenched in maple caramel and topped with dulce de leche ice cream. The Outremont fixture also excels at brunch, when you’ll find dishes like potato and leek tartlets, and blinis topped with smoked salmon, caviar, and poached eggs. With grand, arched windows, warm wood paneling, and even a winterized terrace, it’s the perfect refuge at all times of year. Best for: Everything, really, but it’s particularly noteworthy that Leméac is one of the rare restaurants that takes reservations for brunch." - Valerie Silva
