When the St-Urbain opened on Fleury Street West in 2008, there wasn't much in the neighbourhood: a delicatessen, a small pastry shop and a shoe shop. After St-Urbain came to the neighbourhood, other businesses bloomed like buds in spring.
Chef Adam Ganten didn't know the neighbourhood but trusted his friends. "Marc-André, Annick and Chantal, who grew up in this neighbourhood, wanted to make their contribution," says Adam. "There was a lack of good restaurants in the area, so we came to settle here. Customers appreciate us greatly and our arrival in the neighbourhood encouraged a lot of other business owners to set up here."
At first, most of the visitors were locals, but then the restaurant's presence spread through word of mouth, bringing in more and more visitors. The restaurant's good reputation is no doubt helped by Marc-André's television appearances and a healthy dose of published articles featuring Restaurant Le St-Urbain. This upscale bistro is the pride of Ahuntsic, and of those who enjoy happiness and good cheer come from all corners of the city to savour it.

Great food, a pretty wide seasonal selection and a good wine list all on slate. Great "beignets" for dessert.
Tout est bon! Magnifique découverte et tout à fait par hasard. L'entrecôte avec purée aux patates douces ou le saumon grillé et fumé. Et le dessert; des beignets en forme de frites que l'on trempent dans une sauce caramel. Une vrai sauce de nos grands-mères. Quel délice.
