Leafy Outremont keeps things quietly upscale, from Syrian fine dining at Damas to Laurier Avenue's long-running French rooms and delis.
Damas brought high-end Syrian cooking to Outremont, Montreal, plating charcoal kebabs, muhammara and cherry-sauced meatballs in a jewel-box room.
OrderThe cherry kebab and a spread of cold mezze to start.

La Chronique is a long-running fine-dining room on Laurier Ouest in Montreal, plating precise French-market cuisine and pouring a serious wine list.
OrderThe market tasting menu with a wine pairing.
TipIt is small and old-school; dress up a little and let the sommelier lead the pairings.

OrderThe tasting menu built around fresh masa and Mexican seafood.
TipTake the mezcal and agave pairing; the bar program is as considered as the kitchen.
