What restaurants, bistros and cafes in Montreal present really nice artisan cheese plates? Or have artisan cheese on display and for sale?
Which chefs in Montreal do a wonderful job of using artisan cheese to create outstanding dishes on their menus?
Those are the questions I urgently need answers for because an international food magazine has given me the editorial assignment to produce such a featured report for an upcoming edition. Alas, I’ve let the assignment slide and now the deadline is imminent. I have a pile of notes from frequent visits to Montreal but I’d love feedback from locals.
When you eat out in Montreal, where do you go for a real treat in a cheese plate or a cheese dish?
Where is the best poutine served? Who grills the best cheese sandwich? Who makes the best cheesecake or the cheesiest pizza?
In Montreal itself and within an hour’s drive of downtown.
Please leave a comment or send me an email. I’ll give you a research credit in a future post.
Thank you for your help.

M sur Masson had a really good selection of cheeses on their cheese board when I ate there a few years ago. In rosemount village. Worth a drive out there for the rest of the meal , cheese plate was just the icing on top.

Thanks very much for adding to the list of candidates. I’ll let you know when the piece is published.
Just wondering if you have an updated list of restaurants in Montreal offering good cheese plates?
