Don’t wait for a special occasion to come here, Le Filet is the occasion, especially for posh individuals who dine out regularly and for entertainment. The seafood driven restaurant by chef Yaku Okazaki is globally influenced, leaning towards Asian, but also has a Montreal pride, using some local ingredients. The food is refined and the room is lively, despite its tablecloths and elegance. Order the House cocktail - Le “Piscine” to start, and do not miss the signatures: tuna tartare, tataki of waygu (yes, they have some meat dishes, and this one is fantastic), seafood linguini, and a side of addictive jumbo onion rings. The appetizers and small plates are more exciting than the mains, and make sure you leave room for the maple syrup square. This dessert – a Quebec specialty – I would come for alone.
