Where to dine in Montreal
 

Thought I would start a list of places to eat in 'North America's Pars':

one star : avoid - quality bad, food sucks, service way too slow
2 stars : getting better but avoid
3 stars : worth a look, specific dishes are great, service is average and the location ok, price/quality overpriced
4 stars : excellent, price/quality ration is wonderful, service is perfect and the location is great
5 stars : well unbelievable, above and beyond service, price / quality is well embarassingly underprice for what you get, and you definitely need to check it out.

1. Casa de Mateo - Mexican - $50 CAD for two people with a drink (I had a margarita) :-: :-: :-: :-: :-: (located in the Old Port on Saint-Francois-Xavier)

2. Reuben's Smoked Meat - great breakfast menu $20 CAD for two people (located on Sainte-Catherine Ouest... close to the malls, shops and cinema! :-: :-: :-: :-:

From the CANADA Forum under the Travel&Dining: Destination >> The World section.

The search function is a friend :) ^

But Supersaverdeal was not asking a question-he was stating opinions about restaurants in Montreal.He is also evidintly looking to start up a Dining thread for Montreal-something that is suprisingly absent from this messege center-and somethin I would love to see.
SweetWillie-you have provided llots of swell info on the food in Montreal as have others.I would just like it to have a real "home"rather than having to hunt for it.

The information is everywhere...
 

I understand that the information is available if I search, but that is just the point, I would prefer to have CITY guides and opinions from other travelers. :)

So how do we go about adding Montreal(much more exciting than Toronto)as a "dining destination?

agreed, but just listing restaurants is not really a good way to go about it.

Perhaps we could use the links I've provided, then FT'ers add to the links or create new links to threads posted in the Canada forum as they see fit. This accomplishes two very important items.

#1. addresses your (and others I'm sure) desire for a central Montreal thread.

#2. addresses the FT'er who is doing some searching/reading on Canada in the Canada forum.

seems like a win win.

not quite sure what you mean, the links are to opinions from other travelers.
