Lawrence's little neighbour is quite the versatile lunch option. Small plates to share, a late breakfast for lunch, or a heftier, drawn out meal for those who have time to linger. With excellent coffee, beer, wine, and cocktails to boot.

Marc-André Royal's Ahuntsic restaurant is a reliable staple on the city's culinary scene. Chef Adam Ganten serves up dishes with a bistro feel (soups, salmon, risotto) but fine-dining refinement — there's also a five-course degustation as a lunch option.

Lunch is a great time to beat the crowds at this queue-stricken purveyor of excellent fried chicken and other Southern food. Their hugely popular picnic baskets are a good summer option, but few seem to realize that there's a full dining room on site, too. Tip: ask about the daily specials.

The city's finest Greek restaurant is known as a veritable treat on the seafood front, although evening diners will usually pay a handsome sum for it. Lunch, however, is served every weekday, a steal at three courses for $25. They also guarantee in-and-out service within an hour if needed.

Vincent Chatelais and Dominic Laflamme have built this tucked-away Gilford Street spot up into one of the most popular neighbourhood restaurants in the Plateau. The lunch table d'hôte is a steal for technically on-point French cuisine; day drinkers take note: it's BYOB, too.

By virtue of selling falafel and shawarma, Sumac is on the casual end of this guide, but it's nonetheless an eminently pleasing option for a sit-down lunch, with flavour-packed salads, pickles, and dips rounding out a menu that is a notch above your average shawarma vendor.

Much like other places on this map, lunch is an excellent time to beat the crowds at Antonio Park's eponymous Westmount restaurant. Park staples like the full omakase or kobe beef may not be on offer at the noon hour, but the essence of the restaurant still shines through in lunchy options like teriyaki don or chirashi.
