L’Express

If you ask any chef in Montréal where they go off duty, the restaurant that’s always listed is the iconic L’Express. Not as many people know the bistro for its petit dejeuner and while simple, it’s expertly executed. There are many variations of eggs and toast ($4.75); add a side like smoked salmon ($8), or indulge in a smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese ($10.50). Amongst the black and white checkered floors, wooden tables, and red leather stools, this 35-year-old institution remains an affordable classic for a reason.
