One of Montreal's best known Italian restaurants, Da Emma is actually a transplant from Little Italy to Old Montreal; the tradition of fine cuisine hasn't suffered, even if the current setting is a former prison! It is run with a flair for the dramatic and an obvious love of food. In the Roman tradition, the menu eschews faddish components and sticks to the basics: classics like mozzarella salad and house antipasti, followed by meat-intensive pastas and other main courses. The terrace is wonderful in summer.
Montreal's best-known French bistro enters the 21st Century with its reputation firmly intact; flawless cuisine, imperturbable if somewhat Parisian service and a smoky, some would say loud atmosphere.

The wine list contains exclusively French wines with reasonable prices for your enjoyment by the glass or by the bottle.
