Montreal | A Foodie's Business Trip Restaurant Roundup
1๏ธโฃ Casavant ๐๐๐๐๐ My top pick! A bit far from downtown but absolutely worth itโflawless dishes & great value. ๐ฝ๏ธ 2 people, 3 dishes = ~$70/person after tax & tip. Their scallops and lobster pasta are chef's kiss ๐. Menu changes regularly! 2๏ธโฃ Neotokyo ๐๐๐ Cool cyberpunk vibe ๐ฎ (photo-worthy but awkward to shoot with friends). Skipped ramen for their signature Neotokyo Mazemen (rich, comes with rice). Portions are massiveโleft stuffed! 3๏ธโฃ Bar George ๐๐๐ Historic vibes for dates ๐. Tried their Wellington beefโdecent but forgettable. 4๏ธโฃ Au Pied de Cochon ๐๐๐๐ Hype-worthy for Duck in a Can ๐ฆโtender, fatty, sublime! (But overall salty.) 5๏ธโฃ Monarque ๐ Overrated alert! ๏ฟฝ Even random bistros outshine this. Skip! 6๏ธโฃ Stellina ๐๐๐๐๐ Best pasta of my life ๐โจ! Found solo post-workโsunset patio dining = pure bliss. 7๏ธโฃ Bouillon Bilk ๐๐๐๐๐ Michelin-recโd & Reddit-approved! ๏ฟฝ $110 tasting menu (5 courses): โข Asparagus sauce = bread-worthy ๐ฅ๐ฆ โข Chicken skin = crispy-sweet magic โข Duck tartare + strawberries ๐ = genius tangy combo 8๏ธโฃ Modavie ๐๐ "French" but meh. Lines โ quality. Many better options! Verdict: ๐ Musts: Casavant, Stellina, Bouillon Bilk ๐ฃ Skips: Monarque, Modavie #MTLfoodie #MontrealEats #BusinessTripBites #FoodHitsAndMisses
