3 Best Restaurants in Westmount, Montreal

Background Illustration for Restaurants

This upscale area, predominantly Anglophone, is a far cry from the French-speaking Montréal foreigners often picture. You’ll see polished moms in Prada sunglasses pushing strollers, as well as dressed-down locals walking their dogs along rue Sherbrooke and avenue Greene. Westmount is a relatively new foodie destination, and provides much-needed sustenance after hitting the area's luxury boutiques.

Aux Vivres

$$ Fodor's Choice

A favorite among vegans, celiacs, and vegetarians (and even omnivores), Montréal's first vegan restaurant serves comfort food dishes and beverages that are creative and delicious—not to mention packed with vitamins. Try the gigantic sandwiches such as the Sirocco (grilled eggplant and hummus), which comes on chapati bread, or for something a little earthier, go with the Dragon bowl, a crowd favorite of steamed bok choy, organic rice, tempeh, marinated veggies, and tamari sauce. Don't forget to order the "uncheesecake" for dessert. 

Café Bazin

$$ Fodor's Choice

One part pâtisserie, one part café, one part French bistro, this little restaurant has been a darling of food critics since it opened in 2017. Serving deftly executed French dishes like quiche, vol-au-vent, and tartines niçoises in a fresh, modern setting of white subway tiles, decorative brass struts, richly patinated wooden tables, and mint-green velvet seating, Café Bazin is a little corner of France in the heart of Anglo Westmount. You'll likely feel sated after your main course, but don't make the mistake of passing on dessert. Bazin is originally a pâtissier by profession, and the pâtisseries here are exquisite. Try the tartelette choco café, a chocolate flan with Chantilly coffee cream, or the Paris-Brest, a choux pastry with hazelnut praline mousseline.   

Park

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

Sustainable, organic, and fresh every day is the philosophy of this high-end sushi restaurant. The menu is eclectic, with excellent sashimi, noodles, and some vegetarian-friendly Japanese and Korean dishes mixed with a variety of influences from chef Antonio Park's multiple backgrounds—Korean, Argentinian, and Canadian. You can leave the inspiration to him and opt for an omakase (chef's choice) sushi menu starting at C$145 per person. And don't forget to leave room for dessert! Park partnered with the French pâtissier a few doors down to serve exceptional confections like the sorbet maison; the Tout Chocolat, a chocolate brownie with milk chocolate mousse and roasted pecan caramel; or the raspberry lemon cheesecake.
