If you’re looking for a brunch spot with a spacious patio, Restaurant Zargum is definitely for you. Never before did I consider ordering a waffle topped with mini Oreo cookies drizzled with chocolate sauce, but now I can say that I’ve seen it all.

Pasta Bar Cantina

If you grew up in an Italian family, chances are you don’t often find yourself impressed by commercial Italian food. And rightfully so! When you are spoiled by such greatness and exposed to flavourful dishes made with love and passion, not just any sauce will satisfy.

Thankfully, Central District is home to a family-run pasta bar. This cantina-style restaurant has everything you could possibly be craving (less the dessert, which can be purchased afterwards down the street at Cafe Gentile).

230 Rue Chabanel O.

Sushi Ami

Sushi is something we take very seriously in the office, so you can bet that only the good stuff gets delivered through our doors. While local Montreal sushi is tough to come by when compared to the good stuff in Van City, this is a definite gem for the neighbourhood.

Le Chien Rose

Les Cavistes

This bistro restaurant and wine bar is located in the heart of Ahuntsic Cartierville and Central District. Renowned for their imported wines that bear exclusivity to the resto and are not sold at the SAQ, Les Cavistes offers beautifully crafted lunch dinner and menu items complimented by the wine pairings.
While the wines are not sold at the SAQ, you can purchase your favourite bottle and have it added to your bill, should you fall in love with a particular vintage.

La Bete a Pain

La Bete a Pain is a bakery and cafe that also serves some pretty amazing wine. If you find yourself craving pastries or fine cold cuts (perhaps both at the same time) then you must pay them a visit. I can attest that the eclairs are to dine for.
