One of the best burgers in Montreal – Chez Simon Cantine Urbaine

by Jason June 13, 2025
written by Jason

Surprise. I’m back. Life got exciting and I had to disconnect. It felt a lot nicer that I anticipated to disconnect, but I haven’t forgotten about you. Yes you! I’ve been eating (of course) and have found some great spots to share – also not so great spots that I can share as well. Anyways, all this to say, shoutout if you remember a time when burgers weren’t smashed. All the recent burger spots that have popped up in the city are serving smash burgers. Why? There was a time when I didn’t like them. Not only were they were basically devoid of meat, but they were tiny and I thought they were faddy and would phase out eventually. But with the sheer amount of smash burger spots, I can confidently say, they’re here to say. So instead of hating, I decided to embrace them. I’ve eaten good ones and even great ones, like this one I needed to share with you; Chez Simon Cantine Urbaine.

Great Chinese food in Little Maghreb – Kim Jian

by Jason May 13, 2024
written by Jason

What’s your Montreal restaurant red flag? Word of mouth? Could it be a dirty washroom? Google reviews of 3 stars or less? Restaurants “reviewed” by influencers with “DM for COLLAB” in their bios? It’s tough finding diamonds int he rough without going to experience a place for myself. I recently discovered my Montreal restaurant GREEN flag. Something that someone else might deem as a red flag is something I actually appreciate. I asked the waitress for suggestions and not only did she suggest their specialty items, but literally told me to AVOID certain dishes on their menu. This week’s hidden gem, I venture into Little Maghreb for some awesome Chinese food at Restaurant Kim Jian.

Montreal’s Best Malaysian Street Food at Restaurant Canada Best

by Jason April 2, 2024
written by Jason

So what’s a “hidden gem” you ask? Great question. Wikipedia defines it as, “Something possessing a value or beauty that is not immediately apparent, which therefore has received far less recognition than it deserves.” In my world, insert the words “delicious” and you’ve got my mandate in finding the best eateries the city has to offer. Sure, writing about the newest and trendiest restaurants are fun, but what’s even funner is putting you on to places that no one talks about because they’re not trending or have a fun PR marketing hashtag. The places where the food is honest and the people are humble and more often than not the back table is occupied by a kid doing homework or grandma sorting vegetables.

This week I checked out a quaint mom and pop shop in Parc-Ex serving up delicious Malaysian dishes. I’m excited to talk about this place where not only do they fill out the criteria of being a hidden gem, but possibly Canada’s hidden gem – check out Restaurant Canada Best.

About Me

People get hungry and need to find good places to eat... I am people, and here are the places I've found. This is a log of my endeavors set forth to discover the hidden gems of the city I call home, Montreal. I vow to not leave one hot pot lid unturned, snail shell hollowed, or souvlaki foil emptied until I can safely say that I ate my way across Montreal. It's a big claim, but it's one I'm making.
