Will be posting about restaurants in the Tremblant area later today.
That would be great! Thanks again.
And a long shot request, do you know of anywhere in the Tremblant area where I can buy and smoke a Cuban cigar? Whenever I go out of the country, I always like to have one, as they are illegal here.
Location: Montreal -> CT -> MA -> Montreal -> Ottawa

375 President Kennedy Ave. - They are a famous pipe making enterprise and that was my interest when I visited that shop in the late 80's but I remember they carried a variety of cigars ...not sure if cubans were among them but it would be a safe bet.
As far as dining in Tremblant itself, I find a lot of the restaurants in the alpine village are chain or chain-like. They're not necessarily bad, but often are nothing special.
In the alpine village itself, if I were to go out for a nice dinner I'd go to La Savoie for the Euro-Alpine experience. Note that it's a cheese-fuelled place with fondues and raclettes so it smells strongly of cheese when you enter. But you get used to it within minutes. That would be my best bet "on-site".
I don't know how old everyone in your party is but if everyone is over 18 the Casino Mont-Tremblant has a very nice restaurant called Altitude.
Also highly ranked and well-known are a couple of places in the older Mont-Tremblant town called St-Jovite (just a short drive away). They are Arôme and C'est La Vie. I think Arôme might be open only for breakfast and lunch, so I'd check the hours. Even check hours for both to be on the safe side.
One of my favourite restaurants in the Laurentides region is about 45 minutes from Tremblant but it's on the way from and back to Montreal. Not very far from the St-Sauveur exit on Autoroute 15. It's called Crêperie À La Gourmandise Bretonne. I've only had breakfast and lunch there but they also do dinners (raclette and fondue I think).

Ok. Great stuff here. Are most of these places walk-in, or should I make reservations?

Unfortunately, I won’t have time for a cigar in Montreal. But I have been to many La Casa del Habanos around the globe. They are pricey, but first rate. In fact, when I am on a Carribean Island or in Mexico, the only places I will buy them are at La Casa Del Habano because that is the only place that I can know with certainty, that they will be real and not counterfeit. In Europe, and likely Canada, this is much less of a problem.

Part of it depends on what time you want to eat. People in Quebec as well as the tourist crowd in Tremblant tend to eat later, so if you just show up at a place at 5 pm you shouldn't have any problems anywhere. Places can probably be busy at later times and often quite a bit later with even the 8-9 pm sittings full.
I don't think you'll have a problem finding *a* place to eat on any day at any time, but if you have your heart set on specific places it's probably a good idea to reserve or at least call them and see if they a) take reservations or b) think they're necessary.
