The Best Restaurants in Ahuntsic
Located in the north of the island of Montreal, Ahuntsic is a particularly charming part of the city. In this mostly residential neighbourhood, there are several parks where you can enjoy the beautiful weather all year long. The fact that Ahuntsic borders on the water makes it all the more appealing, since some of these green spaces overlook the Rivière des Prairies. One thing we really appreciate about the neighbourhood is how family-friendly it is, which makes it an especially convivial place to live, visit, and explore. Ahuntsic’s main commercial street, Fleury, offers many great gourmet addresses.
Whether you’re looking for a coffee, a pastry, a tasty treat or a more substantial meal with a bottle of wine, there is something for everyone. This is a great time to discover the flavours of the neighbourhood! Here is our list of gourmet addresses in Ahuntsic.

Both a neighbourhood bistro and a destination restaurant, it always offers a remarkable taste experience. One of our favourites!
