Simple artisanal food there's Ma'am Bolduc, (locals LOVE this place!) good poutine, a few blocs South DeLorimier; go there for early lunch and put on some carbs before continuing down DeLorimier on your way to Parc Lafontaine

hands down, stop the presses, there ya go, this is my #1 pick for the true singular essence of Montreal Restauranteuring; it's an establishment for a reason (very nice but light on pretention, just like the owner). I would definitely make an effort to hit this place. (make a reservation)

This is THAT place me & my wife can ALWAYS count on. French fusion food, asian cooks, mexican pop music; what are you waiting for? reservations prefered but availability is surprising.

Bistro Le Valois
25 Pl. Simon-Valoisi believe this is the finest breakfast in town.
small neapolitan owned shop in Marche Jean-Talon.
inside scoop: best cannoli in town; and if it's not too busy, they have a good porchetta sandwich, but if not, the pizza is FANTASTIC also!

i just love this place! no pretention, nothing complicated. don't be a prick, tip the staff, have a good night at a local institution. in summer the terrace in the back is great; take the time to walk around to see the GREAT graffiti from Under Pressure festivals of years past (and maybe you're.licky enough to be there to see the latest one live!). very bike friendly in the heart of the red light district.

MUCH bigger, at the heart of the city; just go west on Mont-Royal for about 2 miles and yo can't miss it. weekends are especially lively with younger crowds congregating around the George-Étienne Cartier monument you arrive at pretty much following mount Royal, then left up Parc street; it's called the Tam Tams and is a bit on the beatnik side but still pretty interesting to see; you can enter the park by following the path and let it walk you up the mountain.
