    Expensive to Medium:
    - Laurie Raphael (solide all the time)
    - Initiale (For the next time)
    - La Fenouillière (To die for)
    - Panache (Delicious Brunch, only able to reserve for brunch)
    - Toast (Very good)

    Bistro:
    - Le cafe du monde (just like a french bistro, alway full... My Favorite)
    - L'echaude (Delicious Brunch)
    - Aviatic (Not bad)

      Would try:
      Il Teatro very nice Italian
      Le feu sacré for steaks
      Le Pain Beni for bistronomy cuisine
      Cafe Sirocco for Tapas

      My first choice might be Le Moine Échanson : http://www.lemoineechanson.com/ (upper town but outside the walls). Not fancy french cuisine but definitely home french cuisine with a twist. Private importation wines, all organic.

      Le Clocher Penché dowtown is also very good. Bistro style : http://www.clocherpenche.ca/

      If your definition of french food is liberal i also recommand you L'Affaire est Ketchup. Good, friendly, no pretention, noisy, festif : http://laffaireestketchup.net/

          Seconding Le Moine Echanson. We ate there last year during Carnival. It was lovely!
