I love all asian foods especially Japanese but funny enough the one I am not fond of the most is Chinese. We have gazillions of asian restaurants here from good to bad but you can find some of the best sushi places outside of Tokyo here in Vancouver. I have sushi twice a week from a store up the street who does amazing business throughout the day. I have their Miso Soup way too often.

Yeah. I've gone twice and I'm there very early. Every time I have to leave, there's a lineup of people.
My issue with chinese restaurants is that they tend to use all of the meat joint in their foods and when it comes to meat I am turned off if I bite into anything that is chewy or just doesn't taste like meat... dog jokes aside.
Japanese is centered around fish but their few meats choices like Beef Teriyaki or Chicken Teriyaki are usually prime cuts of meat that are thin and nicely cooked up on a hot plate. BBQ Japanese restaurants where you can cook your own food can be fun although going anywhere afterwards can be a problem unless you brought a change of clothes.

Good Italian food is a pleasure. No way my weekly Catelli version of Spaghetti with Hunts meat sauce captures the authenticity of a good Italian restaurant.
I also love Vietnamese, Thai, Singaporean, Korean and Malaysian food but you do need it to be authentic and not some cheap knock off if you really want to enjoy the meal.

Korean food is amazing if you can find the right places. There's a place that's a 10 minute walk from where I live called Chez Hwang on Upper Lachine and they're pretty good. It's on the other side of the street of Sergio Momesso's place. The only thing I don't like about Korean food is how spicy a lot of it is because I have no tolerance for spicy stuff.

If you're into seafood & sushi, Antonio Park's place "Park" is one of the hottest in town. It's actually a 15 minute walk from where I live.
During the season, a lot of Habs players go there. Subban in particular has taken numerous pics with the owner.
If you want an idea of the type of food he cooks:

I went to Park last winter. It was awesome. Reco'd it to a friend and she saw PK and Lars show up after the game. Apparently, Antonio has a special menu just for PK.

Yeah, Tuck Shop is awesome. Been there three times & it was awesome. My only complaint, and really it's not a complaint as much as it is a different kind of compliment, is that I enjoy their appetizers more than their main courses.
Anyway CH1 if you want some more suggestions:
Au Pied du Cochon - If you're into foie gras, this is the place to go. http://aupieddecochon.ca/
L'Express or Leméac - Two of the best French bistros in the city. http://restaurantlexpress.com & http://restaurantlemeac.com/
Nora Gray - I shouldn't call it new, but it's one of the new restaurants in Montreal that's been doing great like with Tuck Shop. It's Italian and I'm probably headed there some time this summer. http://noragray.com/
One of my favorite places is a small Slovenian boucherie called Slovenian Meats, near the Marché Jean-Talon. When you go in, the left side is a small boucherie and the right side is a small restaurent. I love their food, especially their chicken/veal sandwiches. Is it high class food, no, obviously not, but it's a quick and really good meal, especially if you don't want to sit around for a while during lunch. It's on 6424 Clark Street, one street West of St-Laurent.
