O Thym
High quality French bistro (d; $$$)
Bright contemporary French bistro just off the main Gay Village drag where a hand-written chalkboard menu describes a colourful menu of imaginative fish and meat dishes – including duck, beef, rabbit and lamb – served in delicious sauces and with locally-grown sides.
Weekend brunches are much cheaper than evening meals, when mains average over $30. But this is one of Montreal’s best restos to allow you to bring your own wine, so the final bill can be pretty reasonable given the quality of the food.
1112 Blvd. de Maisonneuve E., Montreal (Metro: Beaudry)
Daily 5.30pm until late.
