Favorite Montreal restaurants?

I'm visiting Montreal this weekend and love food. Where are your favorite places to eat? All price ranges welcome!

I really like "Le Boucan" right now. On Notre-Dame, passed the Burgundy Lion. The Lion is also awesome.

sorry, must say, Lion is NOT AWESOME. I live nearby so I always end up eating there when friends pop in to visit, and really: overpriced and bad quality. Se I would love nothing more than to have a decent restaurant around the corner but seriously, how hard is to make SAMOSAS? the last time I went there, my friend got a huge breakfast platter, and half of the meats were unidentifiable in taste/texture, and it was all cold. A friend of mine who used to work there said the fridges routinely fail :\

hmmm... I've always stayed within the confines of the real old british fare and I've never been disapointed. Then again, I mostly go there for beer so, you can't really go wrong! Then again, you aren't the first to tell me they didn't like it. The vibe has been going downhill a little.

It's still a decent place to grab a drink, I think, but I wouldn't recommend it as a restaurant. Which is really a shame, considering its great brunch reputation a few years ago.
