For lunch, up to around 35USD per person; for dinner, up to around 75USD per person. But in all honesty, we're more about value than absolute cost, and not necessarily needing white tablecloths, white gloves, and 15 courses of a chef's "autobiography of his life through food"; poutine and bagels are fine by us if that's what you feel like we gotta make sure we eat!
Near Clark Street adjacent to Parc Jeanne-Mance.
Thanks for the recs, guys - we really appreciate it.
I recommend that you look at the following websites, as they offer an history of their restaurant reviews:
-
http://www.lapresse.ca/vivre/gourmand/carte-des-restaurants/ - this one includes a map. Awesome for finding some restaurants that are less known
-
http://guiderestos.com - The most complete restaurants directory
My favorites on the Plateau:
- Les cons servent (the bavette is cheap and very good)
- Chez Tri (sushi place - very friendly, small restaurant, very relaxed ambiance)
- M sur Masson (actually, it's not really on the Plateau, but it's near)
If you want to try the ultimate experience, you can try Toqué. Really a 1st class restaurant. Pricy for dinner, much less at lunch. You can also try their little sister, downtown: Brasserie T. Though it's not Toqué, it's a good place downtown.
Never went to Au Pied de cochon and Joe Beef, but they both have an awesome reputation.
If you visit the Vieux Montreal, I recommed that you have a brunch at Le Cartet, and try their Brunch des Cantons.
I think that you will be located near from St-Viateur Bagel, they have some of the best bagel in town.
Please, don't forget to visit the Marché Jean-Talon. It's awesome at this time of the year. And if you can cook where you will stay and enjoy steak, you can have a look at Marchand du bourg. They sell aged steaks. Better call before coming by to check if they have what you are looking for - it's not the usual butcher, and it's very unique place.
