Les Infideles

There is no better place to eat than Montreal. Really. There are amazing restaurants, bistros, sandwich shops, pastry shops, you name it! So let's start...fine dining.

Let's begin by one of my absolute favorite restaurants - Les Infideles. Tiny, delectable, decidedly Montreal. This bring your own wine restaurant offers a summer and winter menu of exquisite french cuisine with Quebecois flavors mixed in. It's intimate atmosphere is quite nice for a small group but can sometimes get rather crowded and noisy when it's packed. I recommend going with a few of your friends, maybe a max of 4 (6 people if you're pushing it), to better appreciate the petite dining room. A random thing I like? Their "water" menu - a cute detail for a restaurant that doesn't offer it's own alcohol, though they're happy to serve the bottle you bring with you. And just in case, call for reservations. I have been their many times over the years, and am never disappointed (well, almost never...they did stop serving their AMAZING trio of Fois Gras dish which I absolutely loved and actually have taken friends there just for this one dish!). My favorite? The Caribou (seasonal)...it is melt in your mouth delicious.
