Sharp for Men just released their Best New Restaurants in Canada 2013 list, and four Montreal restaurants nabbed a spot on the list. They are:

Maison Publique
Blackstrap BBQ (I didn’t write this one, but here’s my review from when it first opened, for Nightlife Magazine)
EVOO
Grinder

I wrote the first and last reviews. Three are located in the sud-ouest, and Vin Papillon didn’t even exist when I was submitting the write-ups for Maison Publique and Grinder, or I would have made sure it was there! Looks like the southwest has some culinary ambition, from happy hours and wine bars, to low-and-slow BBQ and refined Mediterranean/French.
