The Montreal food scene is always spectacular, but there’s something about this time of year, when the sun is shining and terraces are open, that makes everything just taste oh so much better.
Even restaurants that have made their way onto the culinary stage in the city in the last little while are about to be discovered in a whole new light… sunlight, that is.
Here are some of Montreal’s latest and greatest spots to check out at the tail-end of May.
Seeing red on your Instagram stories lately? Your friends have probably made their way to Gon Bui, one of the newest spots for Chinese tapas. It opened late last year; this is your sign if you haven’t had a chance to try it just yet.

If there’s one cuisine that really shows you how food can really bring people together, it’s Greek. One of Mile End’s newest neighbors, Kouzina Niata, pays homage “to our traditional Greek roots with food we grew up eating around the table with our loved ones.”
