Dotted with bistros and cafés, the Plateau has a bohemian edge that can't be found anywhere else in the city. Chef-owned eateries favor market cuisine served in a decor of brick walls and hardwood floors. Noisy French-style bistros, like L'Express, are local institutions, as are cafés populated by poets and academics with laptops. There’s vegetarian cooking, and Thai, along with sushi and stubborn little bakeries that refuse to mechanize.
Named after a national park in the Congo, a mother-daughter team helm this delightfully cozy pan-African Quebecois fusion restaurant in the Plateau. Innovative and well-executed dishes like cassava couscous with okra and goat stew celebrate local produce and sub-Saharan flavors for an experience you won’t soon forget.
