Romantic and casual first date restaurants in Montreal

Impress your date with some of the best executed plates in the city, without the stuffiness of fine dining. The vibe at all of these restaurants is romantic yet casual, and the hospitality is always friendly and spot on. Also, you can get excellent wine by the glass so you don’t need to commit to a bottle if you need to cut your date short.

Delicious food for less than 15$

I feel lucky to live in a city that boasts extremely talented chefs, and a clientele that has high standards and respect for food. However, some of the best meals I eat are homemade or recipies passed down from generation to generation. Here is a list of some spots that take a more casual approach and serve delicious, cheap food.
