These 33 Montreal Eating places Bought Fined This Summer season For Well being Code Violations

There are plenty of excellent restaurants in Montreal, whether for date night or vegan breakfast, lunch and dinner. But sometimes, the food, or the service, or the cleanliness leaves… much to be desired. Thankfully, the Ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation du Québec (MAPAQ) compiles a public directory of restaurants, dépanneurs and grocery stores that have violated health codes.

Over the past summer, nearly 40 restaurants paid fines as high as $2,000 for issues ranging from animal contamination to unclean cooking areas. The listings are never detailed beyond listing the specific health code being violated, but that’s already more information than you had just five minutes ago.

Dépanneurs and grocery stores have been excluded from this list, which includes restaurants that faced fine during the 2022 summer season. Let’s dig in!
