The 24 Best Restaurants In Montreal - Montreal - The Infatuation

"Mastard’s location in Villeray puts the restaurant in context—it’s deeply rooted in Québec culture, with a modern (and molecular) vision. The hyperlocal five-course menu changes frequently, but past highlights include Québec halibut with broccoli and sunflower milk, cherry tomatoes with pork bouillon and local camelina oil, and a dessert that layered different textures of raspberry, from sorbet to powder. We’re always impressed by the subtle melding of flavors and plating here, especially when the meal starts with a slice of their signature savory tart filled with silky lettuce or sweet corn. The room is calm and subdued in muted taupe, which makes it a good choice for a quiet meeting over dinner or a tête-à-tête. This is also a great spot for gluten-free or vegetarian diners, since the kitchen is keen to accommodate." - ivy lerner frank
