Montreal VIP staff picks
Here is a shot list (no particular order) of my fav. places in Montreal :
Le P'Tit Plateau : Amazing bring your own wine french place. Their duck confit and lamb is amazing!
Au Pied de Cochon : The definition of decadence. classic french food with a unqiue twist with a focus on foie gras, fresh seafood, duck and pork. This place is not one of PETA's favs 
Schwartz's : World famous Schwartz's, serving the best smoked meat from the original recipe of spices since 1928.
Ruby Lounge: The best Dim Sum in Montreal with some of the freshest seafood around.

My tastes aren't as fancy:
Sana: Great authentic Indian / Pakistani restaurant on Jarry St. just north of Jarry Park.
Souvlaki George: A lunchtime favourite. Cheap and greasy -- what more could you want?
Basha: best shish-taouk in town.
Dieu du ciel: I've never tried the food, but this place makes the best beer in Canada--hands down.

Re: Montreal VIP staff picks
Here is a list of my favorite cheap eats after a hard night of clubbing and blowing off steam!
1. Boustan (Corner of Crescent/De Masionneuve) -my personal favorite, those sandwiches come very close to experiencing an intense orgasm!
3. McDonald's (various locations)- When ordering McNuggets, never mention you want half a dozen but they will understand 6...
4. La Belle Province (various locations)- Poutine!!!
5. Patati Patata (4177 St-Laurent, 844-0216)- awesome home fries!!
6. Any 99 cent pizza (various locations)- Cheap and definitely hits the spot!!

El Meson - Mexican Restaurant - Directions
Located along the lake shore in Lachine. This quiet little restaurant is owned by a recently immigrated Mexican family and has a very authentic feel with great dishes.
Chows - Chinese Restaurant - Directions
Tacky and small, but cheap and tasty. They have a small buffet with all the basic white Asian food you can eat.
Toto's - Pizza Place - Directions
Hands down Excellent Pizza!
Topaze - Greek/Mediterranean Restaurant - Directions
Located on the lakeshore in Lachine, great prices, good sangria.

Schwartz's is a very good restaurant but don't expect to eat fast!!! You won't be the only one.
