325 F
A night out at 325 F is an evening of immersion into the exotic cuisine of the island of Madagascar. On the menu of this cozy Plateau restaurant are island specialties that have so far been a mystery to Montrealers since this is the first Malagasy restaurant in town. Try the Lac Brome duck with Madagascar vanilla for dinner, or the homemade Malagasy sausages with baby potatoes for brunch (menu at $25).
