2 Best Restaurants in Lachine, Montreal

Named after the gourmand father of one of the owners, this all-day breakfast spot quickly became a favorite breakfast/brunch destination for Montrealers. The luminous green and white eatery with terracotta brown banquettes and bar seating, serves up Eastern European Jewish fare with Middle Eastern influences. A wine list of mostly private imports and classic brunch cocktails like mimosas, Caesars, and peach Bellinis round out the weekend brunch experience.

Bringing Southeast Asia to southwest Montréal, Satay Brothers is operated by two brothers obsessed with the street foods found in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia. The eclectic and oddly charming space—think red walls, illuminated Chinese lanterns, a mishmash of Asian patterns and décor—features communal seating and a long bar facing the kitchen, which fires out steamed pork buns, laksa soup, papaya salad, and, of course, satays to keep the constant and lively crowd fed. Several vegetarian and vegan options are also available.  If the restaurant is closed or too busy, try its original stand at nearby Atwater Market.
