Upscale Dinner Restaurants

Da Vinci Restaurant / Ristorante Da Vinci

@nickstavrakis

If you're looking for a more upscale type of restaurant, look no further than Da vinci's. This Italian restaurant specializes in pastas, meats and fish (I highly recommend the Branzino). The server's are also very knowledgeable about wine pairings. This restaurant is, in my opinion one of the best in Montreal. If you order alcohol, expect to spend at least 75$ per person.
