Montréal
In the heart of the Little Burgundy neighborhood, Joe Beef remains a darling of food critics for its unfussy, market-fresh fare. The rustic, country-kitsch setting is a great spot to linger over fresh oysters, braised rabbit, roasted scallops with smoked onions and a changing selection of hearty Québécois dishes – all served with good humor and low pretension.
In summer some of the best seats are in the backyard garden. Reserve weeks in advance.
