"Owner Marc-André Royal’s intimate Ahuntsic restaurant has been channelling diners to the city’s north end for over a decade. The kitchen, now helmed by chef Lindsay McLaren, gives seasonal, local ingredients the French treatment, with a comprehensive offering of charcuterie, tartare, and magret de canard. One of Royal’s other projects, top-notch bakery La Bête à Pain, also has a neighbourhood outpost and is equally worth the detour." - Eater Staff
