Fodor's Expert Review Yokato Yokabai

Frequently cited as the best ramen house in Montréal bar none, Yokato Yokabai is indeed a discreet restaurant that deserves to be visited by all noodle lovers—especially when temperatures drop below freezing point here. The décor—dark-wood paneling and minimal knickknacks—immediately transports diners to a Japanese hole-in-the-wall. The ramen broth is incredibly aromatic and equally flavorful. Vegetable broths are available. Service is slow, but worth the inevitable wait.
