It looks like Montreal’s impressive restaurant culture is showing no signs of slowing down as there is a plethora of new hot spots set to open later this year.

We’ve scoured the city for the most notable ones opening soon and are already making reservations mentally.

From taco joints to trendy French diners, it’s no secret Montreal restaurants do things differently…

Venice MTL  
What happens when you take the cool laid-back vibe of Venice Beach and pair it with hip Montreal? You get Venice MTL, an epic healthy eatery that’s set to open its doors in the coming months. Located at 440 Saint Francois Xavier, this hip spot will be serving up California-inspired dishes like salads, tartars, yogurt bowls, and fresh smoothies.

La Habanera
Yann Levy is bringing another hot spot to the city following his success with Biiru. This time around, he will be bringing some Latin flair to the city with La Habanera, which will be serving modern twists on Cuban classics. Guests can indulge on Cuban-style sandwiches and either a fresh juice from the juice bar, or a cocktail from the Mojito bar. The location is yet to be disclosed, but Eater predicts it will be close to Levy’s other restaurants.

Foiegwa 
Montreal’s Gauley Brothers are currently in the process of creating a truly unique dining venue, which will be serving up Americanized French dishes. According to Guru, the concept will welcome customers through the back alley door and will present the exterior features of a classic diner, while still preserving some elements of the building’s heritage.

Taco lovers, rejoice! El Gordo is coming to Little Burgundy and will be serving up mouthwatering tacos and cocktails. Restaurant owner Geneviève Guertin spoke to Montreal Eater and said the new spot will have a simple menu, good vibe, and music.

Oliver & Bonacini at Hôtel Mont Stephen
