Polish food. Stash has been a staple in Old Montreal for decades. The menu hasn't changed in forever because when you get the right formula you stick with it. The menu is designed so you can share - for a group of four I would recommend the Schnitzel, potato pancakes, cabbage rolls, pierogis and krokiety. For an individual, you can get a beginner's plate which has a nice mix of the above. The kitchen is in the basement so the waiter gets a good workout.

Of "Chuck's Day Off" fame, this cozy spot is steps from the loft. You might even see Chuck! Pricey.

This is one of the furthest recommendations for the loft and certainly the priciest but it makes the list because it is one of the best restaurants in Montreal.

Close by and decent prices. Easy eating like burgers, salads, etc... general fare. Nice location with a terrasse in the summer to people-watch on busy McGill street. Something for everyone.

Big burgers with a dizzying variety of toppings. The regular size is almost too much. The loft is close by in case you have to take a nap after eating here.

French food, reputedly great wine list and nightly live jazz, R&B or Blues. They also have a lunch menu. Not the closest on the list to the condo but definitely worth a look.

Greek restaurant but they serve everything from Souvlaki to Poutine and everything in between. Family and budget-friendly. Huge menu selection so everybody should find something they like. Good for breakfast (they open at 5am), lunch or an early dinner if you just want to eat and aren't concerned with atmosphere and décor. The kind of place that doesn't make any fancy restaurant lists but at which every local has eaten.

This is the most historically interesting spot in the city. The square known as Place D'Armes is bordered on the south side by Notre-Dame Basilica which is the most worthwhile tourist attraction in the city. To the East is the Aldred building, neighbour to the New York Life insurance building. To the North is the stunning Bank Of Montreal. Forget the horrible modern office tower to the West, don't even turn your head, the ugliness will haunt you.
