Culinary Adventures in the City

Stellina
If the name Stellina sounds nostalgic, what you find on the plate is also rooted in the culinary tradition of the boot of Europe. The concept of the Old Port restaurant is to offer forgotten classics of Italian cuisine. Pasta is obviously the highlight of this Saint-Jacques Street address. Stellina is a pastificio—a fresh pasta factory. Thus, almost all the pasta you will find on your plate is made by hand, on site. A large bay window allows you to admire the skilled handiwork of the artisans.

Vin Mon Lapin
Perennially packed, Mon Lapin is one of the hottest tables around, especially after earning the No. 1 spot on the Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants list in 2023 and 2024. The menu changes frequently, following the whims of chefs Marc-Olivier Frappier and Jessica Noël, but dependably spotlights farm-fresh veggies and seasonal seafood, including favorite items like the Croque-Pétoncle (a crisp scallop sandwich), leek conservas with chips, and a ​layered buckwheat cake. Reservations are strongly recommended.
