The Coast Guard
Price: 💸💸
Type of food: Steakhouse and Seafood
Address: 112 McGill Street, Montreal, QC
Why you must go: A new kid has taken up residence on McGill Street and it’s well worth the detour. With his gourmet menu, which expertly mixes produce from the sea and delicacies from the steakhouse, chef and owner Constant Mentzas draws up a very fine menu that will make your mouth water.
I also had the opportunity to test the facility and was completely convinced. The dishes are delicious and the seafood and fish are of exceptional quality. That said, I’ve never had such good salmon tataki in my life and the scallops are cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this new address that is sure to make a lasting impression in Montreal.
