January in Montreal may be freezing, but things are just heating up when it comes to the city’s restaurant scene. From noodle bars to cafés, to tapas restaurants, new Montreal restaurants are waiting to help you escape the cold.
Here are some of the premier Montreal restaurants you should check out before the end of January.

This new cyberpunk-inspired noodle bar comes from mastermind behind other Montreal favourites, like Biiru Izakaya, Hanzō izakaya and Escondite Cervecería de Barrio. On the menu, you’ll find ramen and mazemen, along with a collection of Japanese-inspired cocktails. Currently, the restaurant is only serving dinner with a lunch and late-night menu in the works.

When it comes to bagels, Montreal doesn’t mess around. That’s why when a bagel spot from somewhere else (from Ontario no less!) makes its way to the city, it’s a pretty big deal. Kettleman’s Bagels hails from Ottawa and has officially landed in la belle province right next to the Bell Centre serving Montreal bagels, plus other sandwiches, salads and baked goods.
Address: 1285 ave. des Canadiens-de-Montréal

On the menu, you’ll find a collection of sharing plates and mains inspired by Korean cuisine, including chicken katsu, yuptteuk and dak gangjung.
