Montreal is the biggest city in terms of population in Quebec, and one of the biggest in Canada. One of the many great things about this city is the restaurant scene. Montreal is considered to be one of the top places to eat in the world because of its many restaurants and cultural diversity. These are 5 of my favorite places to eat in Montreal in alphabetical order.
Bocci (1756 Dollard Avenue)
Situated in a strip mall, Bocci may not look like much from the outside, but I haven’t had better Italian food at a restaurant in Montreal. The homemade “pizza dough” bread comes with an amazing spicy dipping sauce. The atmosphere is higher class, but the prices are very reasonable, and they have a lunch menu.
Carlos & Pepes (1420 Peel Street)
Right in the heart of downtown on Peel street, this Mexican restaurant has a 2 story restaurant, and a separate pub above it, you can get their amazing food in both, but the restaurant is quieter, while the pub has big screen TVs, and is limited to adults.

Kazu (1862 Sainte-Catherine Street West)
Looking for some delicious Japanese food? Kazu is a great place to look, often called the top Asian restaurant in Montreal, the service is quick, the food is delicious, and the price is right. The wait can be long to get a seat, and you may not have that much room when you do sit, but the food makes up for that.
Moishes (3961 Saint-Laurent Boulevard)
This is arguably the best steakhouse in Montreal, it has been around since 1938, originally called Romanian Paradise. You can often find yourself in a lineup out the door to get a seat at their only location on the trendy St-Laurent street, but if steak is your pleasure, the wait is definitely worth it.
Wilensky’s Light Lunch (34 Fairmount Avenue West)
Another classic Montreal location that has been around and hasn’t changed since 1932, Wilensky’s is not the place to go for a wide variety, but if you enjoy the classic 30s dinner with only a bar and several stools that serves hand stirred soft drinks and their “special” baloney sandwich, this is your place.
