Whether you’re looking for a midday snack or a late night bite, nothing hits the spot like a warm hand-rolled sesame bagel straight outta the oven from this legendary 24/7 bagel stop.
The pizza are individual sized but the crust is soft and crunchy all the same. Great mozzarella, and a very well spiced tomato sauce. The spicy oil is actually spicy as well!
Arepas are still fairly undiscovered and lay low on Montreal’s culinary scene, so you’ll get some street cred from the get-go. You definitely won’t be disappointed with the food, either. Leer más.
Open until 3 a.m., this is the “premiere service provider for drunk-ass chefs after work.” – Anthony Bourdain
They took an infamous dish and made it quite the celebrity. If you're stopping in Montreal, this is fast becoming the "must-do" amongst all adventurous foodies along with Schwartz's, St-Viateur Bagel
Try the Toute Garnie! The restaurant's most popular dish jazzes up your regular poutine with sauteed peppers, mushrooms, baby peas and homemade gravy. Featured in the new book You Gotta Eat Here! Leer más.
Your options for fish and chips boil down to a small portion or a large portion, which comes with your choice of sauce -- forego the usual tartar and kick your fish up a notch with the jalapeño sauce.
There is some good soul food going on at Aux Vivres. This is my favorite vegetarian restaurant in Montreal! Yummy! Leer más.
We're calling it: Café Névé has THEE best coffee in the city, which only tastes better after a tough mob. They also have a tasty, healthy brunch menu with amazing soup-sides. And cookies to die for!
IMHO, THE best place for coffee and (or) pastries and just about anything maple-related in Old Montreal. (There's even a little maple museum downstairs you can walk through in a few minutes)
Great cocktail bar with huge mason-jarred drinks. Think Jargaritas meets Brooklyn meets Montreal. To top it off, go ahead and ask for a full jar of Goldfish for free.
Dieu du Ciel! has everything from chocolate stouts to peppercorn-infused red ales to "Aphrodisiaque" cocktails (sometimes known as "literally any cocktail"). Leer más.
Fun place to play games and drink with friends. The employees make great game recommendations.
One of two main farmers markets in Little Italy. Come to buy unpasteurized raw milk cheese–which has been banned in the U.S. since 1949! As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
Embrace your inner food snob by tasting and judging this year's top picks from around the province, ranging from creamy olive Filou to spicy and firm Blackburn Leer más.
Better views here than at the Olympic Park...and it's free and more eventful to climb than to pay to ride an elevator in my opinion. *shrugs*
You can see way into the USA from here on a good day. Do not visit Montreal without going here at least once. The view is awesome.
The highest point in Montreal! Stop by on a Sunday and see “tam-tams” – where people get together and bang on drums. As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain.
Go to the Old Port, stay for the long winded romantic walk to the clock tower and the crashing waves on the seaway. Dodge little kids and meandering tourists.
Beautiful blue interior. Breathtaking. Don't forget the chapel in the back with a wood finish and the light show in the evening.
Great Fine Arts museum, not in its permanent collection but for its exhibitions, from Miles Davis to Faberge eggs represents a beautiful melange of artistic talents.
The collection is small but thoughtfully curated. All arranged on one floor, it can be seen in under an hour. When I was there, the MACM was exhibiting lots of mind-bending short film pieces.
