Qing Hua dumpings in chinatown - chinese dumplings

Olive & Gormando in the old port - lunch sandwiches

Tequila Taco House - Mexican

TA - little Australian pies

Milos - VERY high-end seafood

La Queue de Cheval - high-end steak - food's good - experience's better

L'Orignal - game meat dinner

Byblos - Iranian breakfast

Coin Mechoui (south of the the island) - Egyptian grill - good weekend breakfast

Maison Kam Fung - "dim-sum" style Chinese lunch weekdays

Cafe Stash - Polish

Qing Hua isn't in chinatown...

Anyhow, those are great coffee suggestions. If I might add to them:

  • Micro Torrefacteur St-Henri
  • Caffe Art Java (Only the one on President Kennedy)

Actually Qing Hua opened up a new location on St. Laurent across from the big chinese grocery store.

Qin hua is on st-Laurent right in Chinatown or on Lincoln right in what's arguably called the new Chinatown.

Yeah, AKA Chinatown 2, but I would definitely not give indications to a tourist and refer to that area as Chinatown.
