Battuto
An open-kitchen Italian restaurant with only 24 seats in the Saint-Roch district, awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand, where reservations sell out instantly.
Opened in 2016 by three partners who serve as chef, pastry chef, and sommelier, Battuto has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand since 2025 and was once named Canada's Best New Restaurant. The intimate space has only 24 seats, mostly counter stools surrounding the open kitchen. The menu is concise, with house-made bread, charcuterie, pasta, and gelato, and a wine list leaning toward Italy and France. Reservations are mandatory; seats are released monthly and sell out within minutes, so it is highly recommended to check the release schedule in advance. Located on Boulevard Langelier in the Lower Town, about a 20-minute walk from the Old Town.
