3900 Rue Wellington
Janine Café-Brunch
A bright, polished brunch room from the team behind Régine. The plates are generous, the room celebratory and the weekend line tells you how firmly it has entered the neighbourhood ritual.

↘01 / Morning
Before the avenue fills.
Five ways to begin before Wellington belongs to the whole neighbourhood.
Wellington · morning counter
Alice & Théo
French pastry and bakery work for the first walk of the day: croissants, laminated dough and the small luxury of carrying something warm down the avenue.
View on Regulars →Verdun · bagel counter
Bagel St-Lo
A neighbourhood bagel shop that understands the morning assignment: hand-rolled bagels, breakfast sandwiches and the quick familiarity of a local counter.
View on Regulars →4554 Rue Wellington
Lili & Oli
A café that became part of Verdun’s everyday life rather than a destination saved for later. Coffee, a seat by the window and a room built for repeat visits.
View on Regulars →Verdun · neighbourhood breakfast
Bistro Garage Café
The unvarnished breakfast option: a local café-bistro with the kind of broad menu and easy rhythm that turns one visit into a weekly habit.
View on Regulars →02 / The avenue
Lunch without leaving Wellington.
The stretch where a sandwich, a slice or a bowl can decide the rest of the day.
Wellington · Italian counter
BOSSA Prêt-à-manger
Italian sandwiches with enough heft to become a destination in their own right. The order travels well, but eating it while Wellington moves outside is the better idea.
View on Regulars →4119 Rue Wellington
Welldun Pizza
A neighbourhood slice shop with a name that could only belong here. Crisp pies, quick service and the kind of order people develop strong repeat opinions about.
View on Regulars →4019 Rue Wellington
Les Street Monkeys
Chef Tota Oung channels Cambodian street cooking into vivid, shareable plates. One of the rooms that changed how the rest of Montréal thought about dining in Verdun.
View on Regulars →Verdun · Korean counter
Moa Moa
An unassuming Korean room with the confidence of a place that lets the food do the work—comforting plates, direct flavours and a loyal local following.
View on Regulars →Verdun · Cambodian counter
Ketiw
A Cambodian counter built around noodles, aromatic broths and street-food energy. A useful reminder that Wellington’s strongest meals are not always its most formal.
View on Regulars →03 / Dinner
The rooms worth booking.
Verdun’s evening argument, from Argentine warmth to modern Korean cooking.
3780 Rue Wellington
Restaurant GIWA
Chef-owner Alex Woo brings the precision he developed at Nora Gray to Korean cooking rooted in his grandmother's table: fermentation, seasonality and a careful balance of earthy, spicy, sweet and umami. Tradition is the foundation, not the decoration.

Beba
Brothers Ari and Pablo Schor built a deeply personal Argentine-inflected restaurant that feels both nationally important and completely at home on its residential Verdun corner.
View on Regulars →3681 Rue Wellington
Rita
A warm Italian dining room where pizza, pasta and wine meet the avenue without turning dinner into ceremony. Polished enough for an occasion, relaxed enough to return.
View on Regulars →3683 Rue Wellington
Archway
Plant-based cooking presented as a complete restaurant experience rather than a compromise. Seasonal plates and a calm room make it one of Wellington’s distinct voices.
View on Regulars →Verdun · Peruvian institution
Villa Wellington
A longstanding Peruvian address whose longevity matters in a neighbourhood famous for what is new. Ceviche, grilled meats and a room that has watched the avenue change.
View on Regulars →04 / Toward the river
Let dinner become the evening.
The avenue runs west. The best ending runs south, toward the water.
4816 Rue Wellington
Verdun Beach
A natural-wine bar close enough to borrow the river’s mood. Bottles, small plates and the feeling that the 5 à 7 can continue without anyone deciding it should.
View on Regulars →4026 Rue Wellington
Chez BOSS & Fils
A convivial Mexican tavern with cocktails and food meant for the middle of the table. It gives Wellington another reason to stay after the pedestrian crowds thin.
View on Regulars →4026 Rue Wellington
BENELUX Wellington
The brewpub stop: house beer, an animated room and a terrace that makes sense of summer on the avenue.
View on Regulars →3900 Rue de Verdun
Pierrette Patates
A classic fry counter that keeps the guide honest. Steamies, fries and poutine belong in the story of regulars as surely as any tasting menu.
View on Regulars →5145 Rue Wellington
Le Godot
A gastronomic dining room at the western end of the route, serving a six-course tasting menu alongside wine and cocktails. The fitting final stop: you keep going, and the table rewards the distance.
