Montreal Restaurant

The highly anticipated – and long awaited – Kinka Izakaya is finally set to open its doors on November 8th in Montreal. And we couldn’t be more excited. ‘Cause when the team behind the über-successful Guu franchise comes to town, it’s definitely an event worth drooling over

You read right. Kyozon, a whopping 8,500-square foot day-to-night bar and kitchen, will be open to the public September 9th. The highly anticipated space is situated in a historic landmark building of downtown Montreal, offering a young, vibrant and affordable destination that hosts a great bar with New-Asian cuisine and a mezzanine Kaiten belt

And more culinary news: New owners Nicolas Urli (Flyjin, Velvet), Francisco Randez (ex-Porte Rouge, Canal Évasion, Rythme Fm, TVA) and Flore-Anne Ducharme (Les Évadés advertising agency) are taking over the prime location that formerly housed Souvenirs d’Indochine, situated just across from Parc Jean-Mance in the Plateau

It’s quite something when you’ve interned at the ITHQ, trained with Gordon Ramsay and led Montreal’s top kitchens. Say hello to Marco Barone, Chef at FreshMint, a delicious spot in Old Montreal that delivers wholesome meals to your work and home

We've all had our eye on Laurea, the latest transformation of the former Laurier BBQ led by Simple Plan guitarist Jeff Stinco. Though the space has seen its fair share of volatility over the last few years, a tour around the magnificent redesign is all it takes to see that Laurea will quickly reclaim its status as a Plateau institution

Joverse has a new neighbour. Restaurant/pub Rosewood is now going through their “soft opening” stage with the official grand opening happening on August 12th. Yes, that means you can still pop by from 5pm on to check the space and get a taste

A delicate sign saying 'Foyer', the beautiful leafy 'F' lettering made by Dave Arnold, aka Mr. Sign, figures prominently in their signage and identity. The space from the outside already emanates cozy, local and authentic vibes, and we can't wait for it to open in St. Henri next week

Prepare to treat yourself to a smoking hot, supremely delicious, shall we say ballsy new concept: Le Meatball House, where it's all about gourmet, slow-cooked, sauced-up, better-than-grandma’s meatballs

So, you think you know good pizza? We all have our favourites, but if you've never tried the real deal – authentic, made-to-order, wood-oven crispy, fresher than fresh Neopolitan pizza – your life is about to change
