Charcoal-grilled seafood, wood-fired steaks, and impressive desserts
"In what was once an industrial area that is now gentrified, this place brilliantly captures the art de vivre in today's Montreal: hand-picked eco-responsible ingredients, wood-fired cuisine designed for sharing, plus service from a motivated front-of-house staff who are both cool and professional. The bespoke decor combines simplicity and warmth with unpretentious elegance. Here, the focus is firmly on fire, the central element of this instinctive modern cuisine, in which local produce sets the tone. The dishes, often plant-based and with Mediterranean influences, lend themselves to sharing as in maitake mushrooms glazed with maple and black garlic, gently chargrilled Arctic char, and grass-fed Angus beef with shallots and aioli." - Michelin Inspector
"Foxy’s well-deserved reputation is built on two pillars: the wood-fired food menu and the wine list created by its sommelier-owner, who was named the best in the country in 2023. The fireside chef’s counter is welcoming on a cold night, with its mesmerizing view of pita and flatbread dough coming in and out of the oven alongside cornish hens, angus beef, duck breast, and sea bass. Foxy’s stellar homemade feta and ricotta, vegetarian options like roasted maitake with black garlic, and desserts like fire-roasted strawberry coulis make this a simple, elegant spot we return to again and again." - ivy lerner frank

"Head to this Griffintown gem this New Year’s Eve to enjoy its seasonal, locally-sourced fare (the farms are credited on the menu) all served family style in a chic bistro environment. Specific to NYE, there will be a 5:30 p.m. seating with a four-course tasting menu and an 8:45 p.m. seating with a seven-course tasting menu. For all the details and to book, visit Resy." - Erinn Blicher
"For 20 years, Olive et Gourmando has been one of the city's favorite cafés, a popular place for pastries, sandwiches, and salads in the city's historic heart. Diners in search of a larger menu, or even dinner, however, have long been frustrated by the fact that Olive et Gourmando closes at 5 p.m. The 2015 opening of Foxy, from the same owners, in the newly trendy Griffintown neighborhood was thus highly anticipated. It turned out to be worth the wait. Foxy shares the same approach as its older sibling, focusing on fresh ingredients prepared simply so that their flavors shine, but here many of them are grilled over charcoal or roasted in the wood oven. Flatbreads topped with roasted or grilled vegetables and the grilled steak and fish dishes are must-orders. While Olive et Gourmando serves only breakfast and lunch, Foxy opens at 5:30 p.m. daily and serves dinner."
