text: We came back to visit Montreal in large part because the food experience is so high quality. Within this city setting, Cafe Via Dante is a jewel. The generational evolution from corner-coffee/community-center to fine dining is authentic - as is the prosciutto slicer on display. The knowledgeable staff lets fresh and artisinal ingredients speak for themselves. Sure, there are fancier decors and chandeliers to be had elsewhere, but it would be hard to find a more delicious and delightful dinner experience.
