I Really Love Montreal Restaurants

By Adriana Noton

You do not want to miss dining in Montreal restaurants. Great service and great eating is the fare of the day and night. When I eat in Montreal it is all I expect from a fine restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere and attention to small details make every meal I have had in this beautiful city worthwhile. You can find quality at budget prices at many eateries in Montreal.

Montreal is home to some of the finest restaurants in the world. Most feature traditional haute cuisine. Almost all have well stocked wine cellars replete with some of the finest French wines outside of Europe. Canadian masterpieces, rare flowers, soft lighting and of course fine white table linens are the standards. Not only traditional dishes will make your dining experience memorable but for the adventurous new exotic dishes are found throughout the city.

You will fine the best prime rib of beef, terrine of duck, venison medallions, and for the health conscious some of the best poached salmon you will ever lift to your lips. Dancing and live music is the Saturday night fare at some of the livelier cafes. How about the best steak you have ever tasted topped off with a selection of decadent French sauces. Traditional steakhouses in Montreal give beef lovers a touch of Paris.

Seafood is your meal you say. Taste some of the tastiest lobster in Montreal. Your favorite seafood is an order away in many Montreal cafes. You will make an excuse to come back for more trust me. And with wonderfully rustic decors, beamed ceilings and traditional Quebecois pine armoires you will be sitting comfortably while enjoying your meal.

You will want to call in advance for reservations at most of the fine restaurants in Montreal but even if you do not have one if there is room you will be seated immediately. There is no snobbery in this friendly city. In all restaurants I visited everyone was friendly and offered wonderful service.

Montreal French cuisine offers wonderfully prepared seasoned fare all day. But some cafes the mid day meal draws many because of the lunch special prices. Can you stand beef wellington or candied duck for lunch? The you may want to get your great meal at lunch time when the prices are lower.

Do I need mention the decadent desserts of Montreal? Enough said. Remember save some room. Visionary venues provide soothing colors, intimate lighting and picturesque patinas; means a perfect place for you and your special someone. Italian style you ask. Luscious lasagna, perfect pasta, mouth watering manicotti, will remind you of Rome. Some of the best pizza ever prepared call Montreal home.

I love to cook. But I do not necessarily love to eat out. I usually leave the restaurant knowing I could have cooked a better meal and I could feed my family for a week on the money I spent on my dinner alone. But this is not the case when I am in Montreal. I could not match the cuisine and prices overall are the most reasonable I find for the quality of food and service. Take it from me Montreal restaurants are some of the best I have ever visited in the world. - 30543
