1. Pointe-A-Calliere Musee D'archeologie Et D'histoire
Quebec has got the cool museum thing locked down. Musee D'archeologie Et D'histoire is a bravo case in point. We went on a busy Saturday during lunchtime. Good thing too, because when we left the lobby was mobbed out the door. Crowds are one of only…More »
2. Marché Jean-Talon
Really excellent market. I would mirror what John B. has said: this is a market that has lots and lots of stuff in it. Good quality stuff overall, but selection wins out over total quality across the board; few rotten apples in every barrel, eh?…More »
3. Aux Vivres
Oh man...I am so disappointed to have to give Aux Vivres only 3 stars. I want to give it at least four, but here's the scoop:
The food is tremendous, really excellent. The portions on everything are huge. I ordered the famous coconut BLT (they use…More »
4. Le Café Du Monde
Cafe du Monde is not bad, all things considered. They've moved to a new location since the first time I ate there. They used to be across the street in a smaller space, much more cramped. It was bedlam, and that was actually part of the fun. The new…More »
5. L'Échaudé
L'Echaude is pretty rad. Good wine list and surprisingly full beer selection in a province known more for its vino-philes. I've only ever had steak frites here (it's sort of all I eat in Quebec) and the wife is partial to their salmon tartare with a…More »
6. Fairmount Bagel
This is not a cafe. There are no tables, cafe au laits, or wireless internet stations.
It's a friggin' bagel store. Like, you know, a bakery.
It amazes me that people want so much goddamn razzle-dazzle these days that they'll rate stars down on THE…More »
7. Le St Pierre
I've stayed at the Frontenac and it's all well and good over there, but a bit too stuffy for this kid. My choice for great accommodations in QC is the Saint Pierre, by far.
I first stayed here about six years ago with my family and was instantly…More »
8. Musée de la Civilisation
A perennial favorite on my trips to Quebec (I've been here about 5 times over the years), the Musee does not disappoint, ever. The lobby is massive, with a smart reception area. Admission is mid-range...not cheap, but not exorbitant.
As somewhat of a…More »
9. Le Saint-Amour
Superior dining in a classy setting, Le Saint Amour should not be missed when in QC. The best part is that is not overly touristy like so many other places in the city. Unobtrusive on the outside, the restaurant has a small, but welcoming front hall…More »
10. Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth
The Queen Elizabeth still rules. Once again, manager Jesse and the Gold "Or" level staff totally have it together; they made our anniversary stay incredible.
The lobby at this hotel is busy as hell and there was a Tauck tour in, so lobby staff seemed…More »

Categories:

Holy Moses, this is one good sandwich. You can find smoked meat at quite a few places in Montreal, but the rest are just fakers. No one can quite get the fat-to-meat ratio exactly right like Schwartz's! Slap on some mustard and eat it up, Joe!
Some…More »
12. Insectarium de Montréal
Attached to the beautiful Jardin Bontanique is the wonderfully interesting Insectarium. This museum is NOT for everyone, especially if viewing giant African beetles isn't your thing. If you can suspend your internal nausea factor, this museum is a…More »

I am pleased to update this Kaizen review to four stars! We went to Kaizen in its new digs across the street from the old place and we had a really delightful experience all around. The a la carte sushi and sashimi were amazing as ever, the Sapporos…More »

Kaizen...what can I say about you? You were once at the top of the sushi heap in Montreal. (Mmm,… Read more »
