"Mondays can be tough, not least because so many of Montreal’s restaurants are off for a well-deserved rest. But not Casavant, a Bib Gourmand-winning, nouveau French brasserie that set up shop on a Villeray street corner. Open seven days a week and serving food until midnight, it’s a great spot to have in your back pocket. A beef tartare amped up with smoked mackerel, sausage on mash, and a pasta du jour are staples on the trim menu, which gets tweaked with the seasons. The wine list (and gorgeous centerpiece cellar holding the goods) are a main draw, which should come as no surprise given the restaurant partners hail from much-loved Montreal wine bar Vinvinvin. Vibe check: The brilliant art deco-inspired design, including a striking suspended lamp by Italian glass artist Carlo Nason, call to passersby through the window." - Valerie Silva
"A brand-new bistro in a lively, buzzing neighborhood. Chef Charles-Tristan Prévost, previously at the renowned Le Club Chasse et Pêche, cooks up generous, meticulously prepared and indulgent bistro cuisine. He sources produce from the famous Jean Talon market nearby. The already iconic Casavant sausage and mash is a mainstay on the menu, as is the confit leek tartlet with Mornay goat's cheese and hazelnut sauce. The evening menu expands to include beef tartare and smoked mackerel, sea bass à la grenobloise, and magret de canard with cider sauce. Natural wines are well represented on the wine list. Cordial, laid-back service adds to the charm of the place." - Michelin Inspector

"We have a soft spot for lazy lunches, especially when the afternoon sunlight hits just right. Casavant may just be our preferred spot on Fridays and Saturdays when they’re open for lunch, but it’s equally wonderful for dinner, which they do seven days a week until late. Wines at this importer-owned bistro lean towards French regions, followed by Italian, with loads of options from Québec and Europe. Oysters and the house cheeseburger are great lunch picks, and at dinnertime, it’s got to be their hearty sausage on a bed of smooth potato purée. In between bites, look up at the ceiling inside to see one of the most fun murals in town. Summertime is lovely here, when the street turns pedestrian only." - ivy lerner frank
