Several posters have already mentioned it, but seriously check out the march issue of Gourmet. It is only the fifth time in their history that they have devoted an entire issue to a single city. Montreal joins the ranks of San Francisco, New York. London and Paris (all the obvious choices). Try La Chronique(in the Plateau), or the Bonaparte in old Montreal. Cafe Ferreira (for Portugese-mainly seafood). Of course there is always the old standby L' Express, a typical French Bistro on St Denis. There is also Au Pied du Cochon and Brunoise (a little more expensive.) Enjoy
