THE bagel place. They have another shop on Ave. Mont-Royal - where they do sandwiches, which is great - but this is where they make it. Ask for them freshly baked & get cream cheese (they have other toppings there too), eat them right there. They take CASH ONLY but they have an ATM there in case you forget. This is located in Mile-End, next to Banh Mi Banh Yiu :) A very Hasidic Jewish neighborhood, don't be alarmed if you see people with flip phones! I used to work right in front, at lululemon - which unfortunately closed.
Québec French cuisine. Excellent food, wine & service, come here if you want to treat yourself. "Joe Beef in Montreal was a favorite restaurant of Anthony Bourdain, famously featured in Parts Unknown and The Layover. Bourdain praised owners David McMillan and Frederic Morin for their indulgent "Québécois lumberjack" cuisine. He highlighted their decadent dishes, including lobster spaghetti, foie gras, and bone marrow, calling it a necessary, top-tier dining destination."
