Restaurant Bincho is one of the best restaurant restaurants in Montreal for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Montreal.
Bincho arrived at 701 Mont-Royal Est carrying a specific kind of ambition: take one of Le Plateau's most storied addresses — the room that housed Le Pontiac — and rebuild it around binchotan, the Japanese white charcoal that burns hotter, cleaner, and longer than anything in a standard kitchen.

Cam's Déjeuner has built genuine word-of-mouth along Saint-Laurent before the critical apparatus caught up — which is usually a reliable signal that a place is doing something right for the neighbourhood rather than for the camera.
Philippe Guilbault and Laurence Théberge — a sommelier and a veteran pastry chef, respectively — opened Claire Jacques on what was, until recently, a forgettable Villeray corner, and by most accounts the room landed fully formed.
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.
Ethiopian cooking is architecturally communal — everything arrives on a shared spread of injera, the soft, tangy flatbread that functions as both plate and utensil, and the meal only works when the whole table leans in.
