Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Hudson

"Not a Jewish deli but inspired by one, Arthurs Nosh Bar has been a huge daytime hit since opening in 2016. Pre-pandemic, brunch lines at the St. Henri spot often stretched far along Notre-Dame; these days, Arthurs’ menu of hearty comfort food, which includes cottage cheese pancakes with bananas and maple, eggs and salami with latkes and a breakfast sandwich served on a challah roll, can all be ordered right to your doorstep, using Chk Plz, UberEats or DoorDash."

"Situé sur la rue Notre-Dame Ouest, le Arthurs Nosh Bar propose de délicieux brunchs tous les jours de la semaine !. Le restaurant offre un menu qui rend hommage aux traditions juives avec une touche de créativité qui change au fil des saisons. Coup de cœur pour les pancakes et plein d’autres bonnes choses !"

"This popular Jewish diner in St-Henri dishes out some seriously scrumptious and fluffy pancakes. Their cottage cheese pancakes are sweet and savoury, you can’t go wrong."

"This vegan version of an American diner does an animal-free version of anything you could find at a greasy original, and that includes classic homestyle desserts. Folks might argue with us that the carrot cake is the superior option on their dessert menu, but we’re not talking about how well a dessert could fool a carnivore. We’re talking about how this chocolate-rich cake full of hints of apple, both dense and soft in its consistency, is stupidly addictive and a better crowd pleaser."

"One of the city’s vegan strongholds features fresh-pressed juices, sandwiches, and healthy bowls, in a bright, almost kitschy spot on Saint-Laurent (now with a second location in Westmount). Available for takeout or delivery via UberEats, or place an order online for vegan staples from its adjacent store."

"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."

"Originally developed from the idea of a ‘dry salad’ by chefs Charles-Antoine Crête and Cheryl Johnson, this regular installment on the whacky restaurant’s dessert menu is a stupendous achievement in eating pure fun. A deep coffee mug is filled with marinated blackberries and white chocolate mousse before being covered with fragments of dried fruit purée, topped with a quenelle of berry sorbet and finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. It’s a combination of flavour, temperature and texture that’s unparalleled among restaurants here."

"Plaza St-Hubert is a commercial strip of mostly bargain bridal shops and tanning salons. Along with buying a dress made entirely of pink taffeta or sitting inside an oblong box to look less like the ghost of winter, you can also come here to have a great French meal in one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the city. Montreal Plaza serves food that’s both upscale and a little silly - think Smurf figurines showing up on plates of tartare and charcuterie, and your waiter dressing up as a T-Rex if it’s someone’s birthday."

"Montreal Plaza is the restaurant of Charles-Antoine Crête and Cheryl Johnson, and it is located in Plaza St-Hubert. Even from the outside, this restaurant will catch your eye thanks to a large glass door and comical neon chicken sign. And of course, the design only gets better once you head on inside."

"With only a small, red light hanging above the basement entryway, even finding this place from chefs Chuck Hughes and Danny Smiles can be part of the romantic adventure. Le Bremner stands out for its cellar-like décor, seasonal cuisine, extensive wine list, and impeccable service. And with a large, covered terrasse in the backyard, this spot caters to everyone."

"Chuck Hughes’ second restaurant prides itself on its seafood, from whole fish to dressed-up crudos, fresh oysters, crab, urchin and more. The tuna sashimi with tahini is a surprising but delicious combination, and makes a great choice for a starter. View this post on Instagram"

"Crispy, juicy, and relatively affordable, Korean fried chicken might be the pandemic comfort food you didn’t realize you needed — until now. Dawa is open every day but Monday in the evenings, plus noon to 3 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday — order online for pick-up or delivery."

"First known for its quality ice cream and its sometimes very original flavours – butternut squash or red pepper for example -, the menu at Les Givrés also includes an out of the ordinary dessert: The Givré hot-dog. This is essentially the frozen dessert version of a hot-dog. Visit one of their two locations to taste this amusing creation or to try one of their various flavours."

"With unique flavour choices and a calm, brick-wall setting, an ice cream indulgence here is an experience. This quiet shop is loaded with delicious sundae options and ice cream choices that will have you coming back for more. This business is featured in the following Smart Lists:"

"334 rue de Castelnau E., Montreal, H2R 1P8 (see map) 514-507-7558. Homemade soft & hard ice creams and sorbets using fresh ingredients and no artificial colours or flavours (even the cones are made on-site). Outdoor seating available."

"Almost hidden next to the century-old Segal's grocery store, Le Vieux serves affordable, ample breakfast plates daily as of 6:30 a.m. (7:30 a.m. on Sundays). A quiet staple on the Main for decades."

"The line that forms outside this seasonal Mile End gem practically snakes across the street to Wilensky’s. A wry Twitter account keeps an eye on things throughout the summer. Featured soft serve twists are far from ordinary: try caramel-pear, pandan, and coconut-strawberry, to name a few — or get scoops of the iconic salted butter flavour."

"If the line-ups here on a hot summer day are any indication, they’ve got something going with their ice cream, period. That being said, their seasonal swirl cones are the money maker. Changing every few weeks from combos like sour cherry and almond to blueberry and honey, the best summer challenge is to try and eat them all."

"Whether you choose sorbet or soft serve, the flavour options are absolutely delicious – not to mention unique. Looking for an exotic ice cream sundae option?. This is definitely an ice cream shop you want to visit on a warm summer night."

"Christ Church Cathedral is a diverse and accepting community that values the rich spiritual talents that individuals of different ethnic origins, ages, life experiences, and sexual orientations contribute. They are grateful for the equal ministry of men and women. At the Cathedral, you will find a group of individuals who strive to love God with an open heart, an inquiring mind, a growing soul, and fervent strength in daily prayer, worship, silence, study, and music, as well as to love their neighbors as themselves, transforming lives as followers of Christ and seeking social justice, in fellowship, pastoral care, and stewardship of all that God has entrusted to us."

"This landmark of downtown Montreal is an excellent example of Gothic Revival style in Canada. The detailed exterior of pointed arches, buttresses, and crenellated turrets conceals a sober but elegant wood/marble interior. Built between 1857-60 to a design by the distinguished architect Frank Wills, the structure reflects an Anglican ideal of its time: namely, a return to the English medieval church in both liturgy and architecture."

"One of the best parks in Montreal, Jarry Parc isn’t one to be missed. A pool, a pond, and sports complexes as well as a large open area for other activities!. Jarry Park is one of the best and most frequented of all the parks in Montreal, this constantly packed park has everything you want."

"Jarry Park is a beautiful urban park located in the east-end of Montreal. It’s a great spot for basketball and soccer and has plenty of coffee outlets and restaurants to keep you quenched and well fed during your stay. It’s also oozing with history."
