For Ramen's lovers (I am one of them !), don't miss this new, excellent Ramen's restaurant. There is a lot in Montréal since last years and this is far away the best one I ever taste.
Also, they have an Izakaya section with delicious japanese tapas.
And... They open late : cherry on top ! :-)

Ok. THIS. IS. THE. PLACE. to go if you feel for a smoked meat. It's a Montreal historical institution. Always really crowdy and you'll have to queue but it's an attraction for itself. Probably in all Montreal's touristic guides
