Local restaurants
Unsigned, hidden down an old-town sid-street, and cunningly disguised as a fishing lodge, Le Club Chasse et Pêche (+1 514 861 1112) on rue St Claude is making waves with its innovative Qubecois cuisine. Expect new twists on old favourites (such as surf 'n' turf pairing lobster with Wagyu beef, sweetbreads or suckling pig), and a young, animated atmosphere. Also within walking distance of St Paul, Holder (+1 514 849 0333), on rue McGill, serves European brasserie style cuisine, complemented with an impressive wine selection. Meat-lovers should flock to Da Emma (+1514 392 1568), on rue de la Commune Ouest, an excellent Italian set in what was once a women's prison.
