This Rosemont resto is a supremely underrated spot for market-fresh food that’s both homey and refined — for MTL à Table, you’ll put down $33 for options like a beet carpaccio with goat cheese and blackberry, Gaspésie turbot with root veggies, or black pudding with bacon, apples, and celeriac.

Chef Mario Navarrete doesn’t stick to one cuisine at his New Latin restaurant, instead playing with styles from across South America, from a classic ceviche to calamari with onion escabeche and panca pepper sauce, and a dulce de leche-pumpkin mousse to finish off. It’ll cost you $33, and bonus: it’s BYOB. The same menu is on offer at the Fleury Madre in Ahuntsic, too.

Marc-André Royal’s Ahuntsic restaurant is a well-established staple for distinctively modern Québécois cuisine (with a few international touches) — with chef Adam Ganten at the helm, the MTL à Table menu is no exception — see: steelhead trout with Gaspésie aonori, kimchi and daikon, or a fall-friendly barley-rye risotto with mushrooms.

This French BYOB isn’t afraid to take a few liberties with flavours and sidestep tradition — read: borscht with Thai basil or crabcakes with nuoc mam hollandaise on its $33 table d’hôte. Mains like pork cheek with mushroom duxelles or roasted turbot with polenta feel positively fall feverish.

Martin Juneau’s wine bar-ish nook on Beaubien has the cheapest offering of any restaurant on this map — for $23, get a truffle oil potato soup, classic tartare, or smoked salmon with corn “milk”. It’s on the lighter side, so for a full meal, consider Juneau’s main restaurant Pastaga, around the corner with a $33 menu.

This Outremont bistro mixes France and Quebec with flair — for the $33 table d’hôte option, that means a choice between skate wing with grenobloise sauce and cauliflower remoulade, or duck ham with maple and rutabaga on an all-round comforting menu.

Often considered more of a special occasion spot, the $43 menu makes for an excellent excuse to try out Marc De Canck et Olivier de Montigny’s extraordinarily refined French fare — tuck into duck foie gras terrine, guinea fowl with Swiss chard and black garlic, and seafood fregola.

Another pricier destination, Stelio Perombelon’s M.Mme seems like a total MTL à Table bargain with a $33 menu of duck, Arctic char, and foie gras torchon — but of course, you’ll have to pay extra to taste any of the extensive, well-selected wine options.

One of the hottest new arrivals for 2018 was this Old Montreal restaurant from the owners of Griffintown’s Le Fantôme — but as critic Lesley Chesterman noted, it’s not the cheapest, so the $43 MTL à Table option seems a steal. Chef Jason Morris is keeping dishes simple in terms of elements, with a foie gras “mosaic” and halibut with foraged vegetables among the options, and the mysterious “bonfire chocolate” for dessert.
