What's the coolest restaurants in Montreal?

[Agnes_Bogardi]

Hi guys,
Any suggestion for the "coolest" restaurant in Montreal?
Should be healthy and hip

Thanks in advance!
Have a great day!

So, kinda depends on what you mean by "healthy" Quebec cuisine is often full of delicacies such as fois gras, cheese curds, lots of gravy -- sometimes all three of those things fried up in a savory doughnut (not kidding, on the menu at Joe Beef). Everywhere will have at least some fish & veggie options.

That said, here are some restaurants I would say are "hip":

Joe Beef (need reservations way in advance)
Maison Publique
Salle de Manger
Manitoba
Nouveau Palais
Le Chien Fumant

These are mostly Plateau/Mile End/Mile X, because that's where I'm at, but St Henri has a lot of new places too.

HTH, feel free to be more specific about where / what you want for more recommendations.

Hi Agnes,

1) Mimi la nuit in Old Montreal is cool, hip, and well located. As far as healthy, I guess it depends on what you order

2) Bouillon Bilk on St-Laurent Blvd. is certainly cool, but the decor is minimalist: the food takes center stage and the ambiance may not be your cup of tea.

3) Europea is the best restaurant in Montreal (a personal opinion shared by legions of foodies), but may not fit your cool requirement. A less expensive option would be the owner/chef's other establishment: Le bistro gourmand Beaver Hall.
