The 38 Essential Restaurants in Montreal

"It was a big deal for Montreal’s NDG neighborhood when a crew of young restaurateurs launched this buzzy wine bar on Sherbrooke Street West. Since 2021, they’ve been plating food that effortlessly adapts to the seasons and weaves a medley of flavors from around the world.  Think: hamachi crudo with kimchi and leche de tigre, cacio e pepe roasted cauliflower, or chanterelle mushroom risotto with parm crumble and white truffle oil. The drinks match the vibe, with a rotating selection of natural wines that keeps things fresh and some well-executed cocktails — like a martini inspired by caprese salad — served from a mirrored bar nook behind a deep-green marble counter." - Valerie Silva
