The Best Bistros & Wine Bars In Montreal - Montreal - The Infatuation

"You might pass by Bar St-Denis on your way to the Jean-Talon Market without even realizing—it’s tucked in between a grocery store and a revival church. The menu at this modern bistro is constantly changing: think scallops with lemon confit, duck breast with local chanterelles, or Egyptian-inspired small plates like clams with tabbouleh. Their homemade labneh with olives, a spectacular olive oil-swirled sundae dusted with pistachios and served with crunchy-edged flatbread, is one of the highlights. The wine list leans natural, with lots from France and Québec, alongside fun cocktails and the option for a generous (and reasonable, at $80 per person) chef’s choice menu for the table." - ivy lerner frank
