Toqué! reste la référence gastronomique.
La Banquise à 3 h du matin pour une poutine, la vraie vie montréalaise.
Schwartz's, le smoked meat, rien à ajouter.
Olive et Gourmando pour le brunch dans le Vieux-Montréal.
St-Viateur ou Fairmount ? La guerre des bagels continue 😄
Au Pied de Cochon, le foie gras sur poutine, attention aux artères.
Wilensky's Special, sans le couper surtout !
Joe Beef, une institution.
