Au Pied de Cochon
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Au Pied de Cochon on Avenue Duluth has spent more than two decades making the case that Quebec's cooking tradition belongs on the same conversation as any serious French regional cuisine. Chef Martin Picard's foie gras poutine and duck in a can have become reference points for Montreal dining, backed by Michelin Plate recognition and consistent Opinionated About Dining rankings across both North American and European casual tiers.

Bar George
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Bar George places Montréal’s grand-hotel dining culture inside the former Mount Stephen Club, where carved wood, stained glass, and downtown formality shape the meal before the first plate arrives. Its appeal is less about a chef-driven thesis than about how hotel restaurants in the city translate British-club architecture, Canadian sourcing, and all-day service into one polished room.
Dorsia
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Dorsia holds a Michelin Plate (2025) on Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, positioning it within Old Montreal's growing tier of European-inflected restaurants that take format seriously without the price ceiling of the city's starred houses. It reads as a reliable evening address for those who want considered cooking at the $$$ mark. The room and the progression of the meal are the draws here.
Ferreira Café
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
On Peel Street in downtown Montreal, Ferreira Café has anchored the city's Portuguese dining scene for decades, earning a Michelin Plate (2025) and a ranking among Opinionated About Dining's top restaurants in North America. Chef Natalia Machado leads a kitchen rooted in Portuguese seafood tradition, supported by a wine program of 5,000 bottles weighted toward Portugal and Port, overseen by Wine Director Tristan Buisson.

Montréal, Canada
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Inside a glass-enclosed industrial building in Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, Hoogan et Beaufort translates Quebec's farm-to-table commitment into a modern French idiom.

La Chronique
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
A Plateau-Mont-Royal institution holding a 2025 Michelin Plate, La Chronique pairs classical French technique with one of Montreal's most serious wine programs: 700 selections, 2,750 bottles in inventory, with particular depth in Burgundy, France, and Italy. Wine Director and Chef Olivier de Montigny oversees both kitchen and cellar, making this one of the few addresses in the city where food and wine are genuinely coordinated at a senior level.

Mama C
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
Mama C occupies a storied address on Saint-Paul Street West in Old Montreal, where the neighbourhood's cobblestone heritage and density of serious restaurants set a high baseline for any newcomer. Situated within a category that Montreal's dining scene continues to take seriously, it draws visitors and locals alike to one of the city's most food-saturated corridors. EP Club has this venue on its Montreal radar for further assessment.
Marcus
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
A Michelin Plate recipient on Rue de la Montagne, Marcus operates at Montreal's upper price tier alongside Toqué and Europea, positioning modern cuisine as its framework with the polish expected at the $$$$ level.
Moishes
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Moishes is Montreal's enduring steakhouse institution on Boulevard Saint-Laurent, where the ritual of a properly aged cut and a room full of regulars has changed little in decades. The kind of place where the dining room tells you more about the city's social fabric than any newcomer can. A fixture in Montreal's conversation about where tradition and quality intersect.
Restaurant h3
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Restaurant h3 sits on the second floor of Humaniti, the mixed-use tower that reshaped the De La Gauchetière corridor when it opened in 2021. Part of the same hospitality group as Le Coureur des Bois, which carries an awarded wine program, h3 operates under the oversight of Hugo Duchesne and draws a repeat downtown clientele with a format that rewards familiarity over one-off visits.
Also recognized by Star Wine List
Rosélys
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
Rosélys occupies a considered position within Montreal's downtown dining circuit, where hotel restaurants have steadily shed their transactional reputation in favour of genuine culinary ambition. Set at 900 René-Lévesque Blvd W, the restaurant draws both hotel guests and destination diners into a setting where the room itself does significant work. For those moving through Montreal's modern cuisine tier, Rosélys represents a credible stop alongside the city's broader fine-dining conversation.
Sabayon
Montréal, Canada
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
The wine program spans 1,150 bottles across Bordeaux, Burgundy, Italy, Australia, and California, with three sommeliers guiding a list that prices at moderate markup. Two sittings serve lunch and dinner, with a weekend afternoon tea format.
Also recognized by Canada's 100 Best, World's 50 Best
Toqué
Montréal, Canada
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Three decades after Normand Laprise made local sourcing a statement rather than a default, Toqué remains the reference point for Quebec's haute cuisine conversation. Holding a Michelin Plate and a place on La Liste's global rankings, it operates at the summit of Montreal's fine dining tier, with a multi-course format built around seasonal produce and French technique expressed through an unmistakably Québécois lens.
