Saint-Henri has a way of producing restaurants that feel like they belong to the neighborhood rather than to some broader idea of the neighborhood — and by most accounts, La Spada fits that description with room to spare.

Nana Saveurs Kreyol et Caribéens sits on Beaubien Est in Rosemont, which is not a street that trades in hype or destination dining — and that suits this place perfectly.
B12 Burger is a homegrown Quebec chain — a dozen locations and counting — built on a premise that's harder to pull off than it sounds: halal, fresh-never-frozen patties, kept honest and kept cheap.
Montreal has no shortage of vegetarian restaurants, but plant-based Indian cooking done with genuine culinary ambition is a different category — and Tula is essentially the only room in the city occupying it.
