This is the most beautiful market I've ever seen.  It's too bad that I wasn't staying in Montreal longer, because I would have loved to have made a big fresh meal with all of the amazing produce, cheeses, and spices here.

This is a must-see!

Even though I'm not much of a beer drinker, I enjoy a craft beer now and again. This is literally the best beer I've ever had.  I got the Dernière Volonté blonde and wanted more and more.

I like the simple, dark, wooden atmosphere of the bar and would…More »

I have to say, I really hated almost every single meal I had in Montreal, and this place was one of the best. It was an affordable find in the very expensive Vieux Port area.  Good service, the food was really great, and the coffee was warm and bold.…More »

One word: Yummy!!

Great pastries, good espresso.  A nice find in Vieux Port, which is filled with very expensive food.

This was the first hostel I've ever been to, and I mostly enjoyed my stay.

Positives:
+ It is situated in the Latin Quarter and on the border of the Gay Village, making it a great place to be.  It is two blocks from one of Montreal's main subway…More »

I essentially agree with everything that Anna S. says below: "I wish we had a space like this in New York."

I loved the amount of space that was in this bar. There is something for everybody here.  Friday night is girl night and it was super fun.  The…More »

Perhaps it was because I came here on Friday in the middle of the afternoon, but I wasn't that impressed.  The service was so-so.  My beer was decent but not that great.  The downstairs is a bit tiny for my liking.  The upstairs roof patio is nice,…More »

I want to give this place 2 stars, but it gets 3 because it actually has great espresso.  The barista was totally rude.  Also, why is there a small cafe inside of a furniture store?

I would've never come here if it hadn't been raining outside, but I…More »

Vegetarian poutine.  I asked for the veggie gravy on the side, since I'm not much of a gravy fan.  It was all very good.  I split a gigantic portion with my girlfriend and we were super stuffed.  Good stuff here, probably even better if you're a meat…More »

This restaurant is just fine. No frills, despite the decour that attempts to make it look like a fun place to stay.  Tuna club was very tasty.  Gigantic portions of food left me feeling happy after a long day of travel to the city from NYC.  Bloody…More »

Gigantic yard, so many places to sit down and drink. But my drink had no alcohol in it.  I don't know what's wrong with this city, but I couldn't find one decent alcoholic beverage outside of beer.
