Rank 89. Kwizinn
Haitian
Haitian poutine made with plantains and lobster tells you most of what you need to know about Kwizinn. It's a bright, casual Haitian restaurant in Verdun, the neighborhood southwest of downtown that's quietly become one of the more interesting places to eat in the city. Slow-cooked meats, spicy sauces, and recipes passed down through the chef's family form the backbone of the menu. Save room for the house-made donuts with mascarpone banana cream.

Rank 89. Piklìz
Haitian
Named for the fiery Haitian pickled condiment that shows up on every table back home, this warm Caribbean restaurant in Saint-Henri covers the walls with island paintings and small-framed photographs that feel more like a family archive than décor. The brothers behind it grew up between Montreal and Haiti, and the menu moves between the two places accordingly: Québécois poutine gets a creole riff, and the slow-braised goat practically dissolves on the fork.

Rank 89. Régine Café
French
Weekend brunch in Rosemont, far from the Plateau's self-consciousness, where the line forms early and nobody seems to mind. Régine is a lively neighborhood café doing French-inflected brunch, meaning croissants and pastries alongside things like corn waffles with confit duck or salmon croquettes with poached egg and green pea purée. The menu covers carnivores and vegans without making a fuss about it, which is rarer than it sounds.
