Montreal restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Mont-Royal Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

Back at L’Avenue on Mont-Royal after a couple of years, and it reminded me why it’s one of our favorite breakfast spots. The service was excellent, our server was super attentive and patient. The menu has changed a bit, and surprisingly, there was no lineup to get s table. The food is still very on point. I ordered The Indecisive with the pistachio French toast, and wow - that pistachio French toast was next level, seriously so good. 😋 The pistachio latte was also very delicious and paired perfectly with the meal. I find it unfortunate that they no longer have vegan options. I remember they used to have a few delicious vegan plates but that is no longer the case. Prices are on the higher side, but honestly that seems to be the norm for breakfast spots these days. Still, the quality and experience made it worth it. Definitely happy we came back.

Went for brunch on a Sunday and waited around 20 minutes, which is actually normal for this place. I’ve been here before, so I already knew what to expect, good food, big plates, and that lively vibe inside. We ordered the Bobby Does Dallas and another brunch plate (don’t remember the exact name), plus two lattes. Everything was tasty, fresh, and well-seasoned, classic L’Avenue style. Portions were generous, and the mix of sweet/salty on the plate always works here. The place has its usual colorful graffiti walls, loud-but-fun vibe, and friendly service. It’s the kind of brunch spot you go to when you want something filling and flavorful, not something minimalist. Overall, another good experience. Worth the wait if you’re in the mood for a heavier brunch. ⭐ 4.6/5 — Tasty food, energetic vibe, and solid plates every time.

Even though it was really packed we got really good service. Our waiter was very attentive and suggested good choices for us! Got our food and drinks at a reasonable time and it was delicious. I got the peaches and cream and it was super good but I wanna get the huevos rancheros for next time for a more savoury meal. Would recommend!!

Gym dude omelette was interesting tasted good, for those who want that protein it's a great choice. The Dubai chocolate French toast was great enjoyed eating that as well. Nice sit down spot and artistic drawings

The vibe is like an auto shop. All the servers wear pit crew jumpsuits. Music is 2000s and 90s hip hop. Servers are attentive and helpful with the menu. The food?? Absolutely amazing, huge portions, I couldn’t finish it. 10/10. They don’t take reservations but the only wait wasn’t too long.

Hi first off there were lot of students, gave a nice vibe. It's a nice cozy cafe. The chicken sandwich was very good and quiet filling. I couldn't finish it as it was huge. The trio was worth it. The fries tasted differently, but it could be maybe because of the type of flour they use to coat their fries. Overall must visit spot. Next time I need to try their coffee

Last time I came here I saw a lineup so I gave up, this time around I finally get to try this famous sandwich, and I was not disappointed! I think that the lineup is justified since the price is very reasonable for the quality of the food, it’s simple but very tasty, I took the kebab sandwich to go and it was well wrapped, I love the sauce they use (the Kahwa sauce). The interior of the cafe is so-so, but quite a lot of people seem to enjoy their time here. Recommended.

We tried the poulet Panko, kebab libre, and falafel — all were delicious, but the kebab libre was the standout for me. The bread was fresh and perfectly crunchy, adding a great texture to every bite. We arrived just before the lunch rush, and the line quickly stretched to the end. Seating is limited, so I recommend getting there early. Expect a bit of a wait, but it’s worth it for the quality and freshness.

i go there twice a week for a reason. it’s simply unbeatable. the line is so long but time passes by really fast and it’s js worth the wait. i prefer mont royal ones over rachel street ones better in terms of taste. rachel street ones are too stuffed and has a lemony taste. rachel street is also more expensive but ig it’s fair for the amount of chicken they put.

Love their sandwiches. We went there for a brunch at 11am on Sunday and the place was almost empty but it quickly filled up. I had the falafel sandwich. Service is fast. Their cortado and coffee are excellent.

Neighborhood is packed, hard to find parking but owner have area to park but its located a block from the restaurant. One of his staff accompanied us to the parking. Food are delicious however you can tell that it was cooked in advance and its no longer fresh compared to a newly cooked food. Place is old and needs improvement. This place has a potential but need to improve things that I had mentioned. But I found the owner is kind hearted person, we've got a chance to chat with him for awhile because the place was not busy ... but I can see people order for take out delivery.

I LOVED my food experience at this restaurant!! Their couscous was the best one I've ever had. So savoury! And the owner is such a pleasant man. Amazing ambiance and service! I definitely recommend and will come back!

A lovely Mediterranean and North African restaurant in the heart of Montreal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, the food portions are excellent, and everything tastes fresh. The place is a bit small, but it feels cozy and quiet. Highly recommended.
Soufiane Haffar - 3 months ago

An absolut gem! The portion sizes were generous, the food was absolutely delicious and the service was fast and casual and with a ton of heart. Lots of options for the dishes and you can tell the food is authentic and made with love. Will be returning soon for sure

At first, nobody came to welcome us at the door for a good 20-30 minutes. The owner was nice and took his time to explain the menu. We didn’t have the best experience with the royal coucous. The merguez and lamb wasn’t too flavourful. We recommend trying the soup and beef briks.

I’ve been here 4 times and it has never disappointed! The service is great and the food is great. The price is also really good. It’s my new favourite spot to grab a quick bite!
Srab Mazumdar - 7 months ago

The service was amazing. Super nice and attentive. Loved the ambiance, the music… On the other hand, the beef had a lot of pieces of fat, like more than half the meat in my tacos :( (I had 3, and all had a lot of pieces of fat in them) Not too sure if it’s custom in this type of cuisine, but I haven’t had this many pieces in any other restaurant that served the same dish. As for the other two, missing flavor, but texture was good!! Probably would not return, but for people who don’t mind pieces of fat, worth trying 😊

On point! Delicious tacos, I just wish I came later so I could have tasted the desert
charlie bouchard - 2 months ago

For the price, the food is pretty great! It’s not my favourite flavour wise, but it’s still high quality, tasty and original as a taco place (try their queso fundido, I believe it’s one of their specialties). Friendly service, nice summer terrace and pleasant atmosphere.
Marie-Sophie Dromer - a year ago

The best most authentic tacos in the city. We had salsa, Flautitas, Chuleta, and güera. It’s not easy to find authentic Mexican food in Montreal. This is the best I’ve had. Don’t expect to come in and have a huge American style taco, because it’s the real stuff. I highly recommend eating here. They are friendly, kind, and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. I am in love and will be coming back as often as I can!!

What an absolute delight! From the incredible Pescado y Mariscos (seriously, one of the best Seafood Paellas we've had!) to the flavorful Pulpo Asado, our taste buds were in heaven. Even the Patatas Bravas, though a little dry, were super tasty. While the Gilda Vasca and Basque Cheesecake weren't standouts, they were still good, and the overall value for money is fantastic. If you're in Montreal and craving authentic Spanish Tapas, this spot is a must-try – especially for their Paella and Octopus!
Animesh Das - a week ago

Is you are looking and appreciate a real Spanish Food experience then you need to visit Ibericos. By far the best Paella in Montreal. But that is not the only good stuff you will find there. As a tapas place you will have the chance to try different things that will make you travel into the Mediterranean. Their service is impeccable and always willing to explain you the menu. The freshness of their food is incredible, either you like a Veggie menu or All-In :-). If so don't miss the opportunity of trying a good Jamon Iberico (spoiler alert: Don't call it Prosciutto!!!) For your first experience you can try the tasting menu, it will give you the opportunity to try different aspects of the menu and for sure you will like to return ;-)
Freddy Colina - a week ago

Food: The flavors were good and prepared well. You also get to try all the options from the first two services and dessert from the menu. However, one type of paella will be split among your party. Portions were good! Service: Quite slow. We were there from 6:30 and only left at 10:15PM. We were really enjoying our time at the beginning until we saw the time and noticed people who got there much after who ordered the same menu somehow caught up. They also nearly forgot to give us our shrimps so we ended up having it with the paella. It was just so long.
Jocelle L - 3 months ago

Great service all around. We ordered one tapas dish, the mixed charcuterie which we upgraded to have the bellota ham (a must to get). That was excellent. It comes with two types of cheese and two types of meat and 4 slices of bread with tomatoes. As a main dish, we got the seafood paella. Large dish for two. Honestly, nothing special about it. It was an ok dish. Finally, we got the churros with chocolate dip. That was our least favorite of of all three dishes. Overall, I'd give it another try with the tapas to discover more dishes.
Essam Nessim - a month ago

An absolute delight from start to finish. The fried eggplants arrived perfectly crisp with a honeyed sweetness! The cod fritters were crispy on the outside and perfectly soft and flavourful on the inside. I highly recommend the seafood paella, the rice was rich and aromatic while the seafood was super tender and fresh! It outdid my expectations!

Good place great selection of drinks originally Czech and European ideas little snacks variety of beers absence and all the fun fun I like this place furthermore they have live music on Fridays Jazz duet usually I recommend this place it has a feeling of nostalgia of Montreal from late 90s and early 2000s!
Amir Amiri - a year ago

Super funky spot in the Plateau. I actually had a few drinks at this spot 20 years ago and not much has changed, including the ostrich heads on the walls. The menu is very Czech and a bit hard to figure out but the drinks we had were tasty.

Great Czech style pub/bar/jazz club Delicious house beer and wide selection of Czech spirits and liqueurs. Live jazz music in fridays

I stopped by Arriba Burrito to grab the tofu chilli bowl. I thought the bowl was okay but very oily. There are no waiters or cashiers. You have to order on a screen and then pick up your food when it's ready. The restaurant was quiet but felt crowded with all the restaurant stock around you. Their red hot sauce is really good but I think it was old since it was past it's best by date. Overall I had an alright experience, I might try their burritos next time.
Ajanth - 8 months ago

I've visited Arriba Burrito Express a few times, and I can say I've had a great experience. As a vegetarian, I ordered the chili burrito and tacos. The spice level is just right, they always add plenty of ingredients, and the food comes hot and satisfying. The atmosphere is also great for hanging out with friends and enjoying an afternoon. Now in the summer, they have outdoor seating and music. I recommend this place not only to vegetarians but also to anyone else, the food is not only delicious but also a great portion for the price.
Reika Zani - 8 months ago

Amazing food, even better than what you get in the streets of Mexico. Generous portions, that are super fresh and colorful. Complimented by a wonderful atmosphere, authentic Mexican music and a small sized grocery store with Mexican products. Highly recommended.

Best burrito I’ve had: stuffed, tasty and satisfying. Would recommend the barbacoa beef burrito!
Clara Hornsey - 5 months ago

Easily accessible place located on the Mont Royal Av. steps away from the Mont Royal metro station. The place is very small inside and can barely accommodate more than 6 people. I expected better food as it wasn’t very delicious and unfortunately took a lot of time. The place needs some cleaning and the staff should do better work dealing with customers.

It's THE spot to go at if you're looking for snacks , onigiris, sushis, drinks, sauces, curry powder, instant ramen, pokebowl and so much more !! I've found a lot of my childhood snacks back when my grandma used to buy me candies and it bring back memories (*´ω｀) I end up buying a box of sushi along with 2 calpico drinks and it taste very fresh and yummy 😋 I've been visited this place several times now and to my every visit I absolutely enjoy looking at the food they have available and the varieties is huge!! 💖💖💖

Really fortunate to have this place across the street from my current work office. Straightforward, fresh ingredients, quickly prepared, can’t go wrong type of sushi spot. You’ll never be disappointed.
Ryan Sullivan - 8 months ago

I was looking forward to trying their sushi Tokyo, cause they looked so fresh and flavourful on their customers’ pictures. I didn’t expect anything amazing, but this was just terrible. Both my boyfriend and I ordered different sushi types and they were all bland, dry and flavourless. The tuna wasn’t the bright red that I expected in the pictures, it was almost a colourless light brown/pink… same for much of the other fish. The snack options are good, prices are decent for those. As for the sushi, not worth the price. About the same as a restaurant which I’d rather go to.
Dalia - 4 years ago

No-nonsense corner store with mostly Korean, Chinese, and Japanese snacks ingredients, and other kitchen necessities. They have a small kitchen for takeaway sushi, onigiri, and even kimchi, at a reasonable price for the quality. I pass by often for a fresh kimchi or tuna onigiri on the way to work.
Cameron Samios-Dickson - 4 months ago

Interesting store …. Basic shelves …. Alloy a/ steel metallic shelves thru out. All items displayed as is but many more items from Taiwan and Japan compare to most other stores which mostly import made in china items. Decent price. Not overly expensive but not the lowest but really reasonable. The take out food section is also great for those want a cheaper choice of food for take out. Great in the summer as the street is closed for pedestrians and many resting and sit down places.

It was a rainy October afternoon when I decided to stop by Trip de Bouffe to grab a quick lunch. Usually when I walk by, the place has a lineup to the door, but likely due to the weather - and my late lunch - the restaurant had a calm energy I’ve rarely seen there. Inside, there’s a small seating area by the window flanked by walls covered with art and local event fliers. Towards the counter are shelves stacked with Lebanese snacks and desserts along with fridges filled with ready to eat meals and Lebanese cheeses. I scanned the extensive menu and ordered a Poulet Regulier: marinated chicken with cheese rolled into a soft pita with pickled turnip, tomato, onion, olive, labneh and mint. I only realized afterwards that adding all these toppings is an extra $2.50 (+$1 for the labneh) - which turned my $9 pita into $14. A fair price but more than I planned to spend on lunch. The pita was delicious and the addition of the mint was a clever way to add sweetness while the Labneh (soft cheese) added creaminess to the mix. I do wish there was a bit more chicken but as a whole it was quite substantial. The atmosphere here really shines in the summer, when avenue mont-royal is pedestrian and you can enjoy your meal on their outdoor set up of tables and chairs.

Good sandwich, I love the various options of bread. The feta and spinach sandwich costed around 9$ including tax. They also sell cheap prepared dishes that I have to try one day.
Clara Hornsey - 5 months ago

Trip de Bouffe has been one of my go to for nearly 10 years now. It has some really delicious food, not for cheap but I would say at a fair price. The salads are delicious, my favorite being the holy guacamole (tabouleh with avocado, what's not to like). The bread, hummus, babaganoush, their multitude of pastry bites and sandwiches are all great, you can't go wrong with any of it. Staff is always super chill, they have this casual vibe and they are very friendly.
Maxime Flageole - a month ago

Tasty sandwich at an affordable price. Staff is nice and friendly, they will be happy to take their time and introduce the customers to their best selling sandwiches. The space will probably fit just 4-5 people for dine in so better to do take out.
Quynh Nguyen - a year ago

An excellent spot with a wide variety of food and great service. The chicken was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall, the price-to-quality ratio is good. This cafe holds a special place in our heart - it opened about 12 years ago, during our final year at the nearby Conservatoire, and it quickly became our go-to spot for daily lunches. A truly memorable place 😊

Varied Greek dishes you wouldn't find at other restaurants. Tried the tasty and filling lamb moussaka. The free appetizer of meat balls and olives was very good too.
Celine Ho - 4 months ago

Delicious food! You can share your side dishes, the atmosphere is warm, the servers were very accommodating of our large group of 20 people. We had only booked for 12 but more came and they were very pleasant and friendly. Had a blast and the food is amazing!!! Everyone loved the food. Definitely on my saved list of MTL restaurants. Thanks for your service

Our takeout from Ouzeri, nestled on Saint Denis Street in Montreal, was a flavorful success. Known for its authentic Greek vibe, this place feels like a slice of the Mediterranean in the heart of the city. We kicked things off with a trio of appetizers—standout shoutout to the eggplant dish, which was a hit. The lamb chops? A universal favorite in our group. Even the kids got in on the fun, loving the side order of rice, while the garden salad brought a refreshing finish. Despite the dinner rush (it's definitely a busy spot for dine-in), the takeout process was smooth, and the food arrived fresh and full of flavor. It's clear why this spot has a reputation for both its casual, lively vibe and quality eats. 5/5—this place is firmly on our revisit list.

🍽Food: 6/5 📍Place: 5/5 🤵Service: 5/5 💵Price: 5/5 Their beef martini is a must if you go there. One of my favorite Greek spot in Montréal that present quality and quantity food at a fair price. Highly recommend for anyone. Do not forget to their white chocolate with pie!
Sabri - 2 years ago

Unbelievable!! Food was fantastic but our server really made the night! Shoutout to Maya! We got the lamb chops, spanakopita, potatoes, and espresso martinis (which were surprisingly amazing). The vibe upstairs was great, would recommend it more than downstairs!
