Le Violon

Montreal, Canada

This 50-seat restaurant pairs a coastal cottage-style ambiance with seafood-forward cooking rooted in Italian, French and Spanish traditions. Despite the European approach, the kitchen champions Canadian produce and adds their signature flair – seen in dishes like the potted Newfoundland mussels with cheddar custard. It also leans into serious open-fire cooking, turning out perfectly charred lamb chops from nearby farm Ferme d'Orée, served with chickpeas and a delicate tomato broth. Dessert closes out on a high with a doubly decadent chocolate Basque cheesecake. The compact wine list shows clear intent, balancing natural and classic selections from smaller Canadian producers, all aligned with the menu.
