French For “Just a Little Weird”

Imagine a French farmhouse—rough-hewn wood floors, wainscoting a-plenty—situated in a strip mall (Plaza St. Hubert) and decorated on a Burgundy bender. That might partially explain the staghorn beer taps and the upside-down house dangling over the raised table in the center of Montréal Plaza’s main space. Which is to say, this place brings just enough whimsy to entice, but not overwhelm, both in the space and on the (small) plates. Arctic char tartare with crispy little bits of puffed rice for texture, fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with duck bolognese and ricotta, whelk gratiné with miso (basically escargot with an umami uppercut)—it all sounds a little off but somehow works perfectly. Just like the space itself.

CASE OF THE MONDAYS: Many restaurants aren’t open on Mondays. Thankfully, Eater Montreal has assembled a handy list of the ones that are.
