It\u2019s one of the most celebrated culinary destinations in North America. Not only does Montreal restaurants have a very strong and vibrant immigrant community, bringing along its influences, techniques and ingredients, the city has a strong reputation for having a very unique food culture in itself. You can even find vegan <a href=\"https:\/\/mostlyamelie.com\/vegan-montreal\/\">restaurants in Montreal<\/a>. In this metropolis, food is a very serious matter, making it a definite inclusion in a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/theatlasheart.com\/things-to-do-in-montreal\/\">things to do in Montrea<\/a>l. Here are five must-try restaurants for foodie tourists when visiting the metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Manitoba<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"is-resized\" id=\"attachment_12803\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flightnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DSC_9924-CR.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flightnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DSC_9924-CR-466x700.jpg\" alt=\"Manitoba - \u00a9 Cedric Lizotte\" class=\"wp-image-12803\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6657142857142857;width:466px;height:auto\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Manitoba \u2013 \u00a9 Cedric Lizotte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This restaurant has a lot of flair, from its wait staff to its kitchen and everything in between. There are no \u201cnormal\u201d, \u201cregular\u201d, \u201caverage\u201d dishes in this restaurant. Furthermore, it\u2019s quite out of the way, which will force you to visit parts of the city you wouldn\u2019t normally visit.<br>\n<span id=\"more-12801\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: Are you looking to spend <a href=\"https:\/\/ninanearandfar.com\/montreal-itinerary-3-days\/\">3 days in Montreal<\/a>? Check out Nina Near And Far&#8217;s blog post!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The menu is built exclusively around local ingredients. In Montreal, this means that the menu during the winter will vary greatly as opposed to the menu during the summer. This also means that words like suaeda, sagamite, buckthorn, tatsoi, snakeroot and sabline will adorn the menu. Don\u2019t worry: the bohemian, proud waitstaff will gladly explain in great detail everything that\u2019s on your plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Why is it unique?<\/b> Because it\u2019s impossible to replicate anywhere else in the world, mostly because of the origin of the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Address: <\/b>Manitoba, 271 St-Zotique West. Reservations: 514-270-8000. restaurantmanitoba.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Unfortunately, this restaurant has since closed its doors.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Shinji<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"is-resized\" id=\"attachment_12805\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flightnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DSC_9426-CR-600.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flightnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DSC_9426-CR-600-960x640.jpg\" alt=\"Shinji - \u00a9 Cedric Lizotte\" class=\"wp-image-12805\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5;width:576px;height:auto\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shinji \u2013 \u00a9 Cedric Lizotte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As was stated before, Montreal has a very strong immigrant community, and listing all the Montrea restaurant for every single community in this metropolis would be impossible in such a list. Chinatown has some of the best, most authentic Chinese foods out there; the neighborhood of Parc-Extension has some of the best Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi treats this side of the Pacific; Greek and Portuguese chow is famous in the Mile-End; and Little Italy is just what you\u2019d expect it to be, complete with one of the largest farmers\u2019 markets in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However Shinji is a different story. One of the best chefs in Montreal, Shinji Nagai offers a strange-but-great mix of traditional Japanese cuisine, designer sushi plates and private-imported wines and sakes, in a hip and classy setting. The food is second to none and the Omakase menu is ever-changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Why is it unique?<\/b> The complete Japanese experience is always delectable, and the communal table in the middle of the restaurant creates an ambiance unlike any other restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">NOTE: Shinji has since closed its doors.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Address: <\/b>Shinji, 1732 Notre-Dame West.

Schwartz\u2019s<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"is-resized\" id=\"attachment_12806\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flightnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1280px-Schwartz_smoked_meat_montreal.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flightnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/1280px-Schwartz_smoked_meat_montreal-960x637.jpg\" alt=\"Schwartz&apos;s smoked meat - chensiyuan\" class=\"wp-image-12806\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5078534031413613;width:576px;height:auto\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Schwartz\u2019s smoked meat \u2013 chensiyuan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Montreal\u2019s many food institutions, Schwartz\u2019s is to Montreal what Katz\u2019s Deli is to New York. Montreal Smoked Meat, smoked, brined and cured beef brisket, is cut by hand in front of you, then laid on a piece of rye bread and slathered with ballpark yellow mustard. Their fries are hand-cut and twice-fried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a no-frills, cheap, get-in-get-out type of deli, but don\u2019t mistake it for fast-food. The process of making smoked meat takes more than 10 days to make and the results are truly wonderful. Don\u2019t hesitate to ask for a little bit of lean meat, and a little bit of fatty meat, just to try both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Why is it unique?<\/b> Just like Montreal\u2019s bagels, smoked meat is part of the Montreal food heritage thanks to the vibrant Jewish community in the city. Smoked meat exists nowhere else in the world! And the #1 best souvenir you can bring back home when visiting Montreal is Schwartz\u2019s Montreal steak spice blend. Buy some and bring it home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Address: <\/b>3895 Boulevard Saint-Laurent. No reservations. schwartzsdeli.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Pied de Cochon<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"is-resized\" id=\"attachment_12809\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flightnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/5467347567_8c6e16ddec_o.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flightnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/5467347567_8c6e16ddec_o-960x640.jpg\" alt=\"Foie gras poutine - \u00a9 Jennifer Martinez\" class=\"wp-image-12809\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5;width:576px;height:auto\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foie gras poutine \u2013 \u00a9 Jennifer Martinez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Montreal restaurants offer a few unique, iconic meal items. One of them is poutine. Considered the national dish of Canada, poutine originates a few kilometres away from Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However poutine has been the victim of bandwagon jumpers. Many restaurateurs want to profit from the recent surge in popularity of this blue-collar dish. Impostors are everywhere with their frozen fries, cheap cheddar and sauce made from powdered mixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully there is the Pied de Cochon. There, the fries are thrice cooked in duck fat, the sauce has foie gras in it, and the cheese curds are as fresh as cheese curds can be. And there\u2019s even an option to add a thick slab of pan-fried foie gras on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Why is it unique? <\/b>Don\u2019t be mistaken: Pied de Cochon doesn\u2019t only do poutine well. Every single dish in this restaurant is a delicious, liver-busting, coma-inducing experience. It\u2019s use of foie gras, bacon, maple syrup and the confit-everything attitude it displays are one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Address: <\/b>Pied de Cochon, 536 Avenue Duluth Est. Reservations: 514-281-1114. restaurantaupieddecochon.ca<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Joe Beef<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"is-resized\" id=\"attachment_12804\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flightnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/joebeef.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flightnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/joebeef.jpg\" alt=\"Joe Beef, the cookbook\" class=\"wp-image-12804\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:500px;height:auto\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Joe Beef, the cookbook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twice voted the best restaurant in the country, Joe Beef\u2019s reputation is obvious. A quick look at the restaurant\u2019s cookbook, <i>The Art of Living According to Joe Beef: A Cookbook of Sorts<\/i>, is enough to convince anyone to seek a reservation in the tiny Little Burgundy restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foie gras breakfast sandwich? Lobster spaghetti? Horse filet? Veal tongue? Come on. There\u2019s nothing that\u2019s not worth ordering on Joe Beef\u2019s menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Why is it unique?<\/b> If there\u2019s a quote that summarizes Joe Beef well, it\u2019s probably this one: talking about the owners of the restaurant, Anthony Bourdain says, \u201cFred, Dave, and Meredith are a significant part of what makes Montreal dangerous\u2014and delicious\u2014to anyone who loves food. The words Joe Beef are synonymous with good food and good times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Address: <\/b>2491-2501 Rue Notre-Dame West.
