That's a very good list. I'd add Co'pain d'Abord and Kouign Amann to the bakeries, Little Sheep Mongolian Hotpot to Chinese, Cafe Neve to coffee, Les Givres to ice cream, Sabor Latina to the latin American instead of the Areperia, Chuch and Su Shian Yuang for vegetarian, Patati Patata and Poutineville to poutine, and I second Amelio's for pizza. I'd probably add Lallouz and Trippe de Bouffe for Lebanese snacks. Pho Tay Ho and Pho Bang New York are also places we go back to.

Patisserie de Gascogne- realize it doesn't get mentioned much on this Board, but I like stopping there for a coffee and a pastry. http://www.degascogne.com/index.html
Hope to try Patisserie Rhubarbe on my next visit. http://patisserierhubarbe.com/ -
One of the best bakeries I find is the one in the East End. Maitre Boucher on Monkland and Copie et cie in Verdun (Wellington and 2nd) both carry their breads. I also like Banette on Sherbrooke in NDG.
