5 of the best lasagnas in Montreal
Autumn often brings cravings for pasta. To satisfy them, here’s our selection of the 5 best lasagnas in Montreal.
In Montreal — a true hub of culinary fusion — few dishes capture the warmth and comfort of a hearty meal quite like lasagna. This Italian classic, born in the region of Emilia-Romagna — the cradle of generous cuisine — has crossed centuries and continents to become a staple on our tables, especially for family Sunday dinners. Originally, lasagna was a simple layered pasta dish, coated with béchamel sauce and slow-simmered ragù. Today, it comes in countless variations, yet always retains its deeply convivial spirit: a dish meant to bring people together.
Montreal’s chefs have fun reimagining this icon, showing almost sacred respect for its tradition while infusing it with local flair. From neighborhood trattorias to contemporary dining rooms, you’ll find lasagnas with crispy edges, melting centers, and gloriously stretchy cheese. Some stick to the classic Bolognese version, rich with meat and round tomato sauce, while others dare to explore vegetarian or fusion interpretations — always with the same intention: to offer a generous, honest, and deeply satisfying bite.
