Top Best French Restaurants in Hudson

"Paris might be known as the city of love, but you can thankfully bypass the plane tickets while still experiencing the romance at a classic French bistro like L’Express. Steak tartare, escargot, and their infamous mushroom ravioli are all top choices here, and perfect for sharing too. This place stays open late too, so wine and dine until it’s time to hit the sheets."

"This Montreal institution and the city’s culinary ambassador to France has a dessert menu with all of the French bistro classics you’d expect, from chocolate tart to baba au rhum. But it’s their île flottante, “floating islands” of soft meringue nestled in rich custard, that are a hot-ticket item. So much so, they’re often selling out mid-way through dinner service."

"What is it: The menu at this bistro has barely changed in the decade and change it’s been open, but with good reason. Leméac is looked to for the most classic of experiences, and unflinchingly faces the crowd of trendsetters and younger blood around them. Its chefs Maxim Vadnais and Olivier Belzile deliver fine food in a setting that’s framed in swanky—not swaggering—surroundings of stone and wood."

"For 20 years, Leméac has been a stalwart in the posh Outremont neighborhood. In the early days, the restaurant was a see-and-be-seen type of place, but it has since blossomed into an elegant French bistro for all occasions. Open from lunch until midnight—and for brunch on weekends—it's an ideal place to stop while exploring Avenue Laurier."

"Leméac has been serving delicious French cuisine in Montreal since 2001. Dine inside or al fresco on the lovely terrace. Leméac offer dinner and stays open even later, offering a late-night menu at 10 pm with a variety of affordable choices."

"It’s a shame when the only thing between you and panoramic view of the city is a brick wall, clothesline, satellite dish or a water tower. When the perfect terrasse experience demands an uninterrupted 360-degree view of Montreal, then only the tallest in town will do: Les Enfants Terribles is perched on the highest level of the Place Ville Marie in the heart of Downtown Montreal. Atop this Montreal attraction, you’ll find a French restaurant and spectacular observation deck onto the city, the Saint Lawrence River and the sprawling countryside beyond."

"A post shared by Jocelyn (@jocedube) on Jan 12, 2020 at 6:32pm PST. Les Enfants Terribles — Place Ville Marie provides not only a feast for the palate but also for the eyes. This rooftop restaurant is located in the heart of the metropolis, showcasing the best panoramic views of the Montreal skyline through its built-in dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows."

"Montreal bistro and French brasserie Les Enfants Terribles has six locations in and around Montreal. But for date night, you'll want to make your reservation for its Au Sommet PVM location. Located 44 floors above the ground, it's one of Montreal's highest restaurants with incredible views."

"The grand 1870 Banker’s Hall of Hotel Le St. James is the setting for lavish dinners, an art history themed tasting menu and fine wine. Chef Julien Robillard takes fresh seasonal ingredients to create dishes like duck tartare appetizer with shitake jam and cured foie gras or a rack of lamb with beet gnocchi and mascarpone pesto. The restaurant has a palatial dining area, lounge and two mezzanines with a number of alcoves providing diners with more privacy."

"One of the city’s oldest Japanese establishments, this homey downtown spot is closer to a casual eatery than an izakaya, although izakaya-style items are firmly on the menu. Regulars come for simple comfort food: donburi (rice bowls), sukiyaki, hot and cold udon, and more. On a rainy evening, with soft music playing in the background and a carafe of warm sake, there are few better places to be."

"A post shared by Montreal Food Initiative (@mtlfoodinitiative). This Japanese fusion restaurant is highly praised among sushi connoisseurs in Montreal. The chef’s creations and picks are always delightful; you have to order their sushi pizza if you’ve never tried one."

"Nothing amazing, but they have some nice grilled chicken sandwiches that you can dress to your liking. If you're looking for your not-so-everyday fa..."

"Stéphanie Labelle saw a need in Montreal for a pastry shop where fresh items could be found every day, as well as decent seasonal ingredients. From the beginning of the pastry shop, Julien Joré, a chef with over 20 years of experience, has been assisting Stéphanie. It’s been a part of history from the beginning, but it came together formally through the extension."

"Pastry chef Stéphanie Labelle has a definite knack for whimsical pastries, putting a refreshed spin on classics like lemon tart and éclair. However, if forced to narrow it down to a single option, her mille-feuille is the way to go. Crisp layers of puff pastry encase layers of both vanilla and caramel whipped creams, combining delicacy with decadence."

"La COVID-19 aura eu le dessus de Comptoir Rhubarbe, mais pas du tout sur la Pâtisserie. Les activités du comptoir ont donc été transférées à la pâtisserie, où l’on peut toujours se procurer les délicieux plats salés du chef Joré."
