Selection of inexpensive restaurants

  • Maison V.I.P. in Chinatown, I mean $3,75 for their lunch special! You can't beat that... can you?
  • Keur Fatou, a senegalese restaurant on St-Viateur just east of St-Urbain
  • Le Jardin Du Curry on St-Viateur just east of St-Urbain (and most other Carrabean places), a great roti for around $6.00...
  • Mazurka, inexpensive $5.00 daily special and very good polish food.
  • For really inexpensive international "fast-food", you have to go what's left of the Faubourg Ste-Catherine (3rd floor) on Ste-Catherine corner of St-Mathieu street or at Centre Eaton at the basement level (not as varied as it use to be).
  • You should also try a vietnamese place, for example : Ong Ca Can or Cristal No. 1 for their very inexpensive tonkanese soups (large bowl with lots of broth, rice vermicelli, paper thin beef usually, herbs, etc), around $6.00 for a large bowl, taxes included.
  • For french bistro, you have to go to Le grand comptoir in downtown or Le Vaudeville in Outremont.
  • For indian, try Golden Curry (they have a $5.00 lunch special... pretty much like all the indian restaurants in Montreal but this restaurant is one of the best), it's next door to the Kilo for desserts.
  • For lebanese fast-food, the best place is Basha on Ste-Catherine west (second floor) on the corner of Mansfield, it's also the best lebanese fast-food place in town.
  • For hamburgers, try La Paryse on Ontario street east on the corner of Sanguinet (just west of St-Denis) or L'Anecdote on Rachel.
  • For sandwiches, you have to go to the Café Santropol (ask for a table on the backyard terrasse). It's not as good as it use to be but it'll do the trick. There's also Ambiance salon de thé (at lunch only, it's also furnished with antiques that you can buy)
  • For designer pizza, try Pizzedelic on Mont-Royal east or St-Denis (there are various other locations), for traditional pizza, there's Pendeli's and Pizzelli II for wood overn pizza and calzones.
  • For south american, there's Los Andes on St-Laurent just north of Marieanne or La Chilenita on Marieanne just west of St-Laurent for empanadas
