They say that what you pay for is what you get… Um, really?

Well no, not all the time. For you, dear reader, we’ve discovered some restaurants in Montréal where you can eat very, very well, at half the usual cost. In order to take advantage of this offer, there’s only one condition: you’ve got to go after (rather than before) a concert, movie, or party, as these attractive offers are only available late-night.

The most bistronomique: Lemeac 

Offerings doused in livery and tartar to die for. Normally, the bill would be painful; however, after 10pm your choice of an appetizer and an entrée are only $27.

Lemeac: 1045 Laurier West Avenue, Montreal, Quebec H2V 2L1

The most French cuisine: Chez Victoire

Seasonal products, the classics revisited, an impressive wine list, and a “who is she, she must be famous” ambience. After 10pm, it’s $25 for an appetizer and an entrée, or an entrée and a dessert.

Chez Victoire: 1453 Avenue du Mont Royal East, Montreal, Quebec H2J 1Z1

The most “brasserie style”: Chez Lévêque 

Smoked herring, duck parmentier, or veal sweetbreads, Lévêque knows the classics and has been preparing them impeccably for the last 40 years. $25 for an appetizer and entrée starting at 9pm.

Chez Lévêque: 1030 Avenue Laurier O, Outremont, Quebec H2V 2K8

The most Mediterranean: Milos

Perfectly cooked fish, exquisitely seasoned seafood, 30 years of experience. $25 for an appetizer, an entrée, and a dessert after 10pm.

Milos: 5357 ave. du Parc, Montreal, Quebec H2V 4G9
