Moulerie (La), Montreal

This bistro restaurant is located in an area where the sidewalk scene is all the entertainment you'll need: it's readily at hand on the charming and spacious terrace facing Bernard Avenue. The atmosphere is casual, lively and smacks of a good time, while the decor is sharp, with clean, modern lines in keeping with the area's revitalized youthful appearance. The seafood offerings include all manner of shellfish (mussels and fries, CAD14), as well as some vegetarian delights. Service is very efficient, and the wine is a surprising bargain.
