As a largely residential neighbourhood, Little Burgundy’s restaurant scene is fairly constricted to the few blocks of Notre Dame between Atwater and Guy. That doesn’t mean it should be underestimated. There’s Joe Beef and its sibling establishments, of course, but also plenty of other options for locals to enjoy. From an Acadian eatery serving lobster guédille to a beyond gorgeous patisserie with baked goods to match, the places on this map call Little Burgundy home.

Looking for tips for other parts of the Sud-Ouest? We’ve got maps for St-Henri, Griffintown, and south of the canal, Pointe-St-Charles.

Health experts consider dining out to be a low-to-moderate risk for the vaccinated. For updated information and regulations, please visit the official sites of the Quebec government and Montreal’s public health authority (Santé Montréal).

Bar OTTO

From the same family as Bistro Otto on the Plateau, this casual bar and restaurant opened mere weeks before the onset of the pandemic. On the drink side, Bar Otto focuses on natural wines and imported sake, while the dining options are a mouth-watering mix of sashimi, wagyu beef, and ramen and mazemen noodle dishes.

Le Fricot

Welcome to the Maritimes. This friendly eatery allows patrons to dine on Acadian delicacies from the east coast of Canada, such as lobster guédille, popcorn shrimp, and donair wraps. The classic watering hole next door, Drinkerie, offers a solid selection of beer, wine, and a long list of cocktails to pair with your meal.

Le Vin Papillon

More vegetable-forward than its well-known sibling restaurants, Joe Beef and Liverpool House, and with great wines to boot, Le Vin Papillon is a reliable option for those after-work drinks and snacks that turn into an entire meal. Another good reason to go right after work: Le Vin Papillon, unlike the others in the restaurant group, does not take reservations — come early to grab a seat indoors or out back on the terrasse.

Burgundy Lion

Not only does this exceedingly popular pub offer a great selection of pints and whisky to enjoy while watching a game of football (ahem, soccer), but the food menu is also on point with a sizeable serving of fish n’ chips, bangers & mash, ploughman’s lunch, and other well-executed British specialties (including South Asian specialties like tikka masala, common grub in English pubs). It’s a great option for brunch, as well.

Seasonal ingredients, natural wines, and local beers on tap are the focus at this promising new addition to the neighbourhood. It’s an expansion of neighbouring September Surf, where locals gather for avocado toast, fluffy pancakes, and a mean cold brew alongside other caffeinated drinks in the daytime.

Patrice Pâtissier

Renowned pastry chef Patrice Demers finesses some of the finest pastries in Montreal — and arguably, worldwide. The kouign amann and cannelé are not to be missed, and neither are any of the artistic delights incorporating seasonal fruits like blueberries, raspberries, and rhubarb. For the moment, Patrice is open only from Thursday to Sunday, but you can now order your pastries in advance using its online boutique.

Candide

Spearheaded by chef John Winter Russell, an ever-shifting tasting menu is the name of the game at this beautiful restaurant located in the backside and basement of an old church. The terrasse is a quiet spot to enjoy great food and wine in the warmer months, while winter offerings include preserves from the summer’s bounty. Reservations required.
