The Best Bistros & Wine Bars In Montreal - Montreal - The Infatuation
"L’Express is the ultimate Montreal bistro, and the perfectly cooked steak frites with shallot butter are something everyone in Montreal, visitor or born-and-bred local, should eat at least once. The long zinc bar and decades-old photographs of the staff lining the walls in their starched aprons give off an old-world Parisian vibe, as does the handwritten menu. Its huge wine list covering classics and new-school favorites make L’Express a mind-boggling destination for wine lovers. Every meal starts with a complimentary baguette and a mason jar brimming with cornichons; get some rillettes, bone marrow, or chicken liver pâté to go along and then delve into mains like poached salmon with pillowy, pastel green chervil mashed potatoes." - ivy lerner frank
