Try Au Pied de Cochon and Bouillon Bilk if you can't get into Joe Beef. Try to get into Joe Beef with a smaller group if you can sneak off. It's worth it. The oysters at Boullon Bilk were some of the best I have ever had.

La Pattiserie Belge. It's a French pastry place that smokes just about anything I've ever encountered stateside. Of course, it was a decade since I lived there, but I'd still recommend that particular place.

Au pied du cochon for sure. Bring your appetite.

Au Pied, Toque, keep trying Joe Beef, Schwartz's, prefer Fairmount over St. Viateur bagels.

If in Old Town, stop by Cafe de Mercanti for cappuccino and pastries.

The best restaurants are three hours away on the VIA train in Quebec City.
If you're into Asian food in the least, Montreal has an awesome Chinatown which is actually larger than San Fran's.

For good pub food and great poutine, I always go to NYK's Bistro on Saints Catherine. It's walking distance from McGill.

How reasonable is that option for a day trip in terms of travel time and cost?

I was there for work 3 years ago and we ate supper at a place called Mechant Boeuf. Solid food and polished service, would highly recommend if it's still open. As others have said, lots of great choices in Old Town. We had a meat pie right there on the square that was pretty kick arse.
That's all I can recall as it was a short business trip and sadly didn't have much time to explore the city.

I would highly advise a six hour round trip (if you have an extra day) to visit one of the most unique cities in North America. The few times I've flown into Montreal, I've taken the VIA into Quebec City for a couple of days. It's like stepping into Europe without leaving the continent, and the food scene reflects that as well. Restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens and Saint - Amour are two of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at.

Thanks, wasn't sure if a day trip was pushing it. I haven't been there since I was a kid and I was thinking about trekking out there, especially because I remember it being more strongly French immersive.
