Limbo
Modern French
The pommes dauphine with mouclade has been on the menu since day one, which tells you something about a bistro that otherwise rewrites its card almost daily. Limbo landed a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a spot on Canada's 100 Best not long after opening in Little Italy, near Jean-Talon Market. The chef leans French classic with a sideline in offal, the wine list runs natural and Jura-heavy, and the long bar and burgundy banquettes keep things unfussy.
