"With a gorgeous gilded logo on the front window, this Griffintown spot is unmissable. An omnipresent smell of smoke lingers in the air at Foxy, which makes sense given the kitchen's focus: wood-fire cooking. For appetizers share the smoked eggplant purée with homemade feta, which is topped with pomegranate seeds, cucumber, and pistachios and served with fresh pita. The rib steak is also a winner; beautifully cooked, charred on the outside, bloody and tender inside, it's easily among the best in the city. The flatbread is also hugely popular here—envision a classy pizza topped with oyster mushrooms and cacio di bosco cheese." - Todd Plummer, Isa Tousignant
