How many restaurants in Montreal?

Daily Hive poses the question how many restaurants are there in Montreal? The definition of Montreal is not clear – is it the city, the island or the metropolitan area?

Also the math is bad. If we have 5,170 restos, however you define the city, that does not make it 392 eating establishments per capita! Assuming the full metropolitan census area of 4,291,732 people, it divvies out to one resto per 830 residents, give or take. But there’s no point making calculations with such poorly defined terms.
